I dont like fed-ex for large packages. My 1:9 tank that i bought from a fellow in Edmonton went to calgary, to regina, to vancouver... to FREDRICKSON, to VANCOUVER... to FREDRICKSON AGAIN!, to vancouver... again.. Called the 1-800 # and asked them wtf is going on with my shipment, explained its very fragile and that it should have been here by now. The lady apologized and the next day it arrived to my door by a fedex truck!! but the one end of the box was very shoddy and the packing peanuts were all but gone, and it was a miracle that the barrel was not broken off the turret!! (that was the fragile part)
also this is how it arrived at my door. note the directions of the arrows..
