I hope they sort it out for ya soon. Things like this suck, but keeping a level head will help you come out on top IMO.
Absolutely not. It was shipped from North Carolina on a single truck to a central warehouse in Blasdell NY, just south of Buffalo, which is where I picked it up with my trailer. It was on a wooden pallet and was secured with a ton of cling wrap packing material and seemed to have travelled well.
I took it through customs myself and except for a cursory glance at the trailer at the first kiosk, nobody at customs was concerned about it at all.
Level head - check. Calm and collected demeanor - check. Diplomatic and non-emotional language - check.
We will soon see if being the nice guy works.
