Ha. You might want to watch that if your bike is being shipped by Saia...
I got an LTL shipment from them at work just the other week. These guys turned up with a large and expensive piece of our equipment
upside down on its pallet. This thing is shipped as an assembly... three boxes on one pallet, strapped together and to the pallet. My best guess is some genius in their division cut the straps and tried to rearrange the boxes to make more room, knocked over the main box (which was also completely exploded) or it tipped over while driving, and he and just scooched it back onto the pallet real quick without, y'know, looking at it first.
I rejected it and these idiots had the gall to show up a couple of days later with the
same unit, but they had taken it back to their dock, flipped the box over, and tried to pretend like nothing happened. Also tried to say I could not refuse the shipment now because there was "no damage." Uh-huh, I had pictures of the same serial number on the same box for the same unit, upside down, with a picture of the inside of the blown out box they'd since taped up for said item showing the unit inside... damaged.
Inspect your bike very carefully before you allow that truck to pull away, is all I'm saying.
