Seen a few videos of the 4.5 x 8.5 table ‘crate’ and it has given me pause. Of course it depends on luck and the shipper, etc. for how the thing arrives at a random destination, but the crates I’ve seen look comically unsuitable for such a nice table. I’ve purchased utility trailer siding panels from amazon that were shipped better.
For those that have received a fixture table, what’s been your experience?
Fireball team, is there a crating upgrade option that I could pay for to include a proper raised pallet or skid with three 4x4’s underneath?
I too was a little nervous after seeing a video with a crate that was pretty badly damaged. One of the reasons that I placed the order anyway was my belief that as a small business, Jason and Fireball Tool truly care about selling great products and doing the right thing. I bought my table early in the history of these tables, but by now if there were a problem with damaged tables being a common problem I would think there would have been many threads here on the forum & do not recall seeing any.
I suspect that as long as you have the appropriate means to unload and accept the shipment, the shippers can get it to you in good shape.
