Ridetech and Summit shipping issues

You should be able to throw the boxes around with nothing happening to the parts.

The problem is these boxes are too heavy.
I cant really blame a person who weighs
150 lbs trying to load and deliver a 150 lbs package. Should be packaged in multiple boxes.

Yep as usual, the pencil pushers doing women's work blame the working man..

You should be able to throw the boxes around with nothing happening to the parts. Whoever packaged this over priced junk the guilty party. UPS and the US postal workers got better things to do then throw heavy packages around and blow a sweet, union, fifty-sixty grand a year gig.

Are their things that we could do better? Absolutely, there's always places to improve. However, packaging is one that we've always focused very hard on. We've done everything in our power to make sure our parts make it to the customer in tip-top shape. At the end of the day, should you be able to throw boxes around and the parts still be alright? That's the goal. When I worked in shipping (before I was a pencil pusher ), you wouldn't catch me throwing boxes because the parts inside didn't belong to me. I've always believed that you should treat everyone and their property the way that you want to be treated.

If we were shipping a 150lb box, I would agree with you. The kit the original post is referring to is a 65lb, heavy duty box, that is built specifically for the cradle/bars with added support around everything in it. You'd be hard-pressed to build a better box...

50-60?!!

We're more at $100-130k year.
