  • Not a FedEx but one of Chinese Posts lost my parcel. And the funny thing that inside that box was GPS tracker! Unfortunately it was off, but after 40 days they have found it and they've send it again =((( Usually that post is reaching me in 3 weeks...

  • It does say "FedEx Ground"

  • I had FedEx break an SKB case on me one time. SKB replaced it no questions asked, but they were amazed that FedEx could break a heavy duty case labelled Fragile and then hassle me about replacement...

  • @Rory, fortunately its not quite that bad! They dont drop off packages if there is no one to sign for them. You're probably right about the boer bull though ;)

  • what does COA stand for?

  • Operating unmanned aerial packages for commercial use, without a COA.

  • Oh yeah, for sure.  Many of my packages from Hobby King arrive in what I call "Cardboard Bags". LOL

  • Thanks for the info on Pelican cases.

    @Robert -- You're probably right.  I got a video camera delivered by UPS in a box that looked more like a ball than a box.  I was amazed they had the gall to actually deliver it.  Needless to say, I rejected the package.  I'm sure lots of folks have similar stories.

  • Pelican cases are burly - I use them to ship my geophysical kit all over.  I accedtntally dropped my ground penetrating radar off a shelf - about 8 feet high - onto a concrete floor and nothing was damaged.

    A modified Arducopter would fit in a 1600.
