There is no such thing as a good shipping company - especially when there is a need to go through customs.
UPS recently damaged my AE Quad exhaust that I bought off a member here. Quite amazing too - too damage the tip the way they did it had to of been one hell of a fall. I've tried hitting it with a hammer the hardest I could in an attempt to flatten it out and it did nothing.
I'm sure I've had a half dozen claims with each of the three biggies - Fedex, UPS, and USPS. They all blow...
