I'm really glad you've had good luck with fedex, Steve, and I hope it continues, but I've met way more people that say fedex is horrible than any other shipper. That might be useful info for a poll? Try to get an idea of what shipper has the best and worst record in shipping tanks to forum members? I know that no matter what shipper they use, Imex has had a lot less shipping damage since Erik started making sure the tanks are properly packed and have the extra details, like tape across all hatches and plastic tubes protecting some gun barrels.
