^^^^^Sealed air systems (foam spray) are sweet. We have dropped cranks off of a 6 foot loading dock that have been packed with our systems, crank was fine! (test crank that is, it was not a sold crank 
)

You can plainly see that wasn't packaged properly for shipping. You think shipping a hunk of aluminum<made from soda cans> can take getting tossed around in a truck for 100's of miles in a piece of cardboard? UPS will take care of it, I've dealt with them before. But if they find it wasn't packaged properly they are off the hook. I had a rad shipped to me that was damaged, it wasn't their fault but the company that sold it to me refused to take it back unless I filed a danage claim with UPS. UPS came and picked it up and a few weeks later said it wasn't their fault. SO the company that sold it and shipped had to pay. Of couse they gave me shitty time and after about 6 months I finally got a refund AFTER contacting my credit card company and filing a claim.
You should really change the title of this thread.

Fedex sucks too. We used them for years, and believe it or not have had better luck with UPS as a whole. At least with UPS we have a rep who gives a damn and will go to bat for us to get claims handled right! We never got that from Fedex!

was this in a package using the foam?

Indeed. We also had a transmission delivered that had a metric ton of that foam junk in it, that the manufacturer swore could be dropped from 10 feet and survive....I don't know how high it was dropped from, but it didn't survive visibly much less functionally!

Ship everything via ground. Air packages get destroyed. I receive 40 boxes a day. All the ground ones usually look great, all the Air ones look like someone drove a forklift over them for fun.

I find that it really depends on your Local UPS. My company just recently moved, and the new UPS hub is fucked.
I've personally watched the ups guy throw the packages into the truck from 10-15 feet away.

Local and chain. You are gambling, every time you ship anything, on each and every person who touches your packages.

Gotta agree that the foam is the way to go...we get many packages via UPS and the company uses the foam...man some of those boxes look like they fell off the truck on the highway, but never gotten any broken parts

Same here. FedEx has never paid out on a damage claim and the bulk of their packages come in damaged to some extent, even the ones they packed. UPS has great support about claims. Their online quotes are within a dime of actual costs too, so getting a quote is simple
now im forced to run my power choking ls1 intake manifold until it arrives.

my lesson learned is, if the box is destroyed when the UPS guy drops it off, refuse it. once you refuse delivery, your totally off the hook. its up to the shipper and the shipping company to decide whos to blame.

thats their scapegoat. ive learned after buying t-tops and having them shipped, if the box looks like it went thru a tornado, the **** inside probably looks the same.
