Just read the article on shipping I just received a rather to me expensive Gibbs 451. The end of the barrel was sticking out of the box fortunately the rifle wasn't hurt but the box was destroyed. I was shocked that nothing seemed to be smashed
I'd blame the shipper. It should have been in a hard case.

I worked in electronics distribution for 14 years and in time sensitive heavy freight transportation for another 11. We used UPS, FedEx, and others for distribution, and in transportation used UPS and FedEx for a lot of our smaller overflow. We also handled heavy freight for them.I'd blame UPS. Those guys don't care one bit for people's merch. I know because I worked for another delivery service for a year when I was laid off from my job. Some of what I witnessed was sickening. From throwing packages to stepping on them inside the vans to get to one in the back. Heavy boxes tossed onto light ones or ones marked fragile. They didn't care. I did though. I treated every one as if it were my own. I kept my mouth shut because I was the new guy and needed the money for my kids who were young at the time. Fortunately I was only there 1 year then got called back to my other job. I quickly left the delivery service and luckily never had to go back.
