Does Fedex suck or what, is this just a generic problem, they appear to make no provisions to deal with heavier items the way moving companies do, this clearly counts as serial incompetence.
You guys are blaming the shipping companies, and they may be responsible for some of the dammage, however you are forgetting where speakers are shipped from, Canada. In order to get them to you, then need to cross the boarder. I am sure that much of the dammage is / can be caused by US customs verifying the contents of the packages. This would explain open boxes and dammaged components (US customs removes speakers from boxes and tries to put them back).
Awsome report Jason, just might have to put one or two on my Xmas list for next year, LOL.
