Not much luck , and consider Parcel (ups- fed-x) shipping a dangerous proposition for expensive fragile audio

I couldn't find your post lissnr, but I assume your experience was the same as mine...

I just shipped two Tekton tower speakers through Fed-Ex home delivery (as it turns out, this is the same service that Tekton used to originally ship them to me). I used all original packaging (protective plastic, foam inserts, boxes), and the boxes had "Fragile" "Do not drop" "High end furniture" all the way around both of the boxes.

When the buyer received the items, both boxes looked like they had been either thrown or dropped with no care taken whatsoever. Both speakers had extensive cabinet damage and are now unusable in the current state. I would post pictures if I could. Has anyone else experienced this type of handling before?
We did get the insurance through this site thankfully. It won’t cover the $200 for shipping or recover the quality speakers unfortunately...
I am surprised that the manufacturer used the same shipping service and the original purchase arrived in excellent shape. Lesson learned though.
