    Did that cardboard hold up alright, Tanner? I ran out of stretch wrap right before Fedex was scheduled to show up, so I had to improvise with the pile of cardboard I have.

    Haha not at all. The tape on the inside was the only thing holding it together. I'm pretty sure they actually destroyed it and jimmy rigged it back together with cheap packing tape. But the skids werr fine minus a scratch or two that was fine though sine I scratched the hell out of it with a wire brush anyway

    Well it was a good test then, since they can't keep the stretch wrap together either. A bunch of little girls work there I guess. It was only 80 lbs.

    Maybe just wrap en together with some tape from now on. Save some shipping money and really won't lose any protection since they always get messed up

    Fedex won't let me. Shipments need to be fully covered. They said stretch wrap is the preferred method with things like this. They just don't know how to pick something up.

    Yeah, I gave up trying to talk to them about it. They say it's my fault, I say it's their fault, and we get nowhere. I bought some thicker stretch wrap now for the future. I give up beyond that.

    Got mine 2 days after I got the shipping info! The skid is stout! Even for a 1/8. I'm gonna paint it up this weekend, maybe paint a TRD symbol somewhere. At work today I had a hug log slam against the new skid and it did nothing, not even a scratch.

    Thanks Ryan for the great product!

    Also, I keep forgetting to send the $37 for the steel letters. I'll try to send it tonight once I get home
