Here's how my new rod showed up? Box broken in 2 and rod in 3 pieces. How much force does it take to do this? I could barely cut the thing in 2 with a stout box cutter. It truly is hard to find people that give a damn about anything they do these days.

That happened to us on some Falcon rods we got from Academy. I sent an email the next morning, and the day after that new rods showed up before I even got the label to send back the broken ones. And yes, UPS can suck, I have had those and a few other damaged packages.

Tacklewarehouse is not so nice. I have to send the rod back and then wait for them to get me a new one. Probably take more than a week. Luckily not a rod I needed right away.

I dread ordering rods from TW, they don't pack them well at all, just tossing in the tube and tying the grip. TackleTrap, HookedUp, and LBF all ship rods with copious amounts on protection inside the tube.

Of course, with that damage no padding would matter frown. Dobyns I notice ships only in PVC, but I've had a PVC tube arrive broken as well. Those conveyers/trucks/whatever can snap anything I guess.

Knew a postmaster that claimed he could break an anvil if it was in a cardboard box.

One day I had to watch in horror as the UPS truck drove away as I stand on the front porch holding an empty pvs tube that had come uncapped on one end. I had found a good deal on a Cara Head Turner and couldnt believe my eyes when I saw that empty tube. I still have a hard time believing that driver didnt know he was delivering an empty pvs tube

Man that really stinks. I've had good luck ordering rods from TW. But UPS and USPS like to tear stuff up sometimes. Good reason to buy local if you can on things like rods.
