I deal a lot with manufacturers shipping. Federal Express generally runs lower in number of claims. Of course statistics don't help much when it's YOUR claim. Sorry to see the damage. The good thing about Rivendell shipping frames is that the seat lug has been protected with a bit of an aluminum plug clamped firmly in place with the seat post binder to protect.
Hope that you can come to a speedy and economical resolution. On Dec 11, 5:56 pm, Jim Thill - Hiawatha Cyclery <thill....@gmail.com> wrote: > Both UPS and FedEx break stuff once in awhile.
