This popped up on FB today from a guy who just took delivery of a knee mill shipped LTL. ?Clearly it was not packaged correctly, but the local freight terminal did manage to stick another pallet under the toppled machine before delivery.

Jeeze Louise! All of this is making me nervous. I am expecting delivery of my K700 in April. This happened to me when I ordered my jointer from Grizzly. It was a logistical nightmare working with them and something I wouldn't expect from Felder. With the price of our Felder toys, we should expect proper freighting. I think it would be in their best interest to do this right. Anyway, I wish you well and hope that the problem is resolved soon.

Imran, thanks for the NIH reference, I wasn't sure what that was.
As for OSB tress maybe they don't really have them or NIH applies in the case.

OSB trees, that is a good one, Glen.
For the uninitiated, NIH per urban dictionary means:
Not Invented Here?
The German art of??any technology, agricultural product, or (medical) scientific work that has not been ivented or produced in Germany,?, or?.

David,
Did you refuse that machine?
I can't come up with any reason why Felder wound not spend an extra 200 bucks (Well maybe 400 now) not to wrap them in OSB? The onl logical thing might be the added weight in shipping, but I dont think that is it.
Maybe they don't have OSB trees in Austria.

That¡¯s painful, but not uncommon.? I would have declined the shipment.? Felder seems to have some aversion to crating their machines and accessories properly for LTL shipment.? For some strange reason they are in love with 2x4 scaffolding and sheet plastic instead of a proper OSB or plywood crate. ?
Here¡¯s how I found my Kappa 400 at the freight terminal.? In my case, nothing inside was damaged. ?

In contrast, this is how my milling machine was crated:

So, after 9 months of waiting, my new K700S is delivered to the local shipping terminal.? I went to pick it up today, and found the box with the sliding table had half of the crating missing and looked like it had been dragged around a parking lot somewhere.? I am so disappointed and frustrated.? Has anyone had a similar experience, and if so, how do I go about getting a new sliding table for the saw?? This is my first time receiving a large shipment, and I have no experience dealing with such an issue.? I did mark the carrier form with the damage and was provided an exception number (whatever that is).
