Well said!!! My thoughts exactly!!!!!

not true I will order a box and just insist on inspection, just wish this was policy and would be happy to pay for it. so much twist gets added to threads and then people add their own sociological perspective it becomes humorous and off topic.

ok don't want to fight with anyone GJ is awesome super helpful and vast knowledge that's why I am here. Maybe I can hire my own shipper, I am not looking for the cheapest. I offered to pay 300.00 to do a full wood crate around the box. I just think you should ... order box...inspect box...

HA HA HA. have you ever been through a damage claim? got an extra 100 hours to spare and 6 months?

Yes because it already did happen before, you are missing the point if a proper inspection was allowed it would avoid concealed damage.

I called fedex and spoke with a supervisor he told me no inspection without first signing, STB say's you must inspect or they won't cover the damage. I said I was not bashing either company if you read the whole thread, just putting the facts out there that this is the policy. I called STB and...

I am going to look into this.

I am shaking my head also!!!

I asked extreme tools that ? they did not have an exact answer. I was thinking that might be an option, I am super busy at work now so any kind of shipping issue would be a pain. Maybe make a mini vacation and a business write off as well, also get to see the box without any pressure at all...

Like I said before home depot sells the extreme 5621cr but it's 355.00 more that is 17.8% increase in price, Let's face it home depot employees are not the most careful when it comes to moving stuff. Why can't we just inspect what we are paying for? and if we can't why are we then responsible...

manwithtools well said thank you. Profile updated. Maybe the driver is super nice I agree maybe I should not have called fedex powers that be because they were useless and paint a grim picture, so that did not help at all. If you read the whole post I have cause for concern. The policy should...

I like to take a proactive approach to things. If it can happen it will happen and this is through life experiences. If the toolbox company insist on an inspection you should be allowed to inspect, not have to have a showdown with the driver for what is just and right.

My point exactly!!!!!!! There is a lot of pressure at fedex and all shippers to move product. A good friend worked at UPS for 12 years he said you could never work fast enough for them, always wanting more work from you. How long to do think it will take to carefully open and inspect a...

redwrench60 you are so right. I am not the kind of guy that you are going to stop from doing the right thing no matter what your stupid policy is. I will inspect that box before singing that's a given, but I want to avoid conflict because that is also stressful and it will take the fun out of...

OK I get it! I will order the box and stop the stress. The point was the absurdity of the shipper not allowing you to see the actual item you are signing for don't you get that? How many times did you make a purchase and only after putting it to use for a bit do you discover some flaw that...
