Re: Fedex sucks!!!!

I'm sorry for your experience. It is surely frustrating and I would be none too pleased if it hasppened to me.
I have been lucky because I have shipped at least fifty items via FedEx Ground without a hitch since 2000. I double box anything over 15 pounds. When for some reason I cannot double box, I float the item inside the box with a ten inch or so "crush zone" on all sides. I fill the crush zone with crumpled up, baseball sized newspaper. I use tape completely around the box in every direction. Taping the top and bottom seems is not enough.
It sounds like your box was the original one. I think it was just handled too many times.
