If it hit on a corner you'd know it, the case rails would be seriously mangled, this was flat on it's back like a $10 whore.

The only thing salvageable is the hardware.

speaking of fedex, i sent a couple DVDs to a client over the summer. i sent it 2-day; it took 4 weeks to get there. i haven't used fedex since.

You still should've gotten that ESP GL they are SWEET guitars!!!

I love Fed Ex, USPS is okay, could care less abut UPS, and DHL can kiss my a$$.

DHL lost an $8000 piece of equipment of ours, and could have cared less about it.

Re: So you think Fedex is better than UPS? ;)

i personally have always had really good luck with usps .

I bought a 4x12 cab and it got sent fedex , they smashed it so bad that they didn't even deliver it to me , or back to the sender. I was pissed .

I'm trying to figure out if I was working near the conveyor belts and saw a labeled "Ibanez" box falling from 3 stories high, would I risk my life by trying to catch it for a save?

Anyways, this shows why we should always have insurance when shipping.
