Steve-
FedEx does not always use kid gloves when handling packages. During
this past year I shipped a banner front Edison Home in 3 boxes with
each carefully packed to withstand any rough handling. One box was
for the case, one for the mechanism and one for the horn. The
mechanism was badly damaged when the tines of a fork lift went
completely through the center of its box. The motor frame was broken
into pieces and the bolts holding the motor frame to the bedplate
were sheared off. It was the last time I shipped a machine via FedEx!

I highly recommend if anyone purchases a phono that the seller says
will be sent UPS, ask them to send it Fed Ex ground. I have had 2
triumphs and an order of auto parts damaged by UPS. UPS is
wonderful for small, light parts, but larger ones seem to get
dropper or crushed by their automatic alligator mouth sorting system.
Save a phono, use Fed Ex. Also Fed Ex is much easier to collect
from if there is an accident.
