So I cant help but be curious - is this one of the first exhaust setups that you've truly "mass" produced and had to ship in pieces like this?

We do exhausts for a number of cars (S2000, 135i, MR2), but this is by far the largest and heaviest.

Speaking of weight, what does the system weigh?

Yes but what are the chances that almost all of BERK's packaging was damaged. Even if UPS or USPS has a bad rep for handling packages, the odds of this many from one company, and same product is ridiculous. It almost seems deliberate. Perhaps the package handler(s) at BERK's local distribution center is a hater or has some beef with BERK or who knows what the motive is.
Oh and to be honest, I've had no complaints from packages that I've received from UPS. And I order a lot from Amazon. |

I've got to imagine that the use of carelessly operated heavy machinery comes into play with boxes of this size/weight in UPS facilities. They definitely don't leave Berk's hands looking like that. There's got to be some sort of common element that is causing all of these boxes to arrive with holes in them.

We order 75 lb computer UPS's on a regular basis. Probably almost 50% of these were getting damaged by UPS in transit. The UPS's aren't packed in the best packaging in the world, so if they get dropped from any height they break.
UPS doesn't use heavy equipment for handling packages unless it is freight (over 150 lbs). Anything over 70 lbs is supposed to be picked up by 2 people but that almost never happens. When the truck gets to the sorting facility the unloaders climb aboard and start slinging packages. |
