Here it is prior to shipping. Either the lighting or moisture makes it look like it's separate parts on the side, but it's all one piece.Was that shipping crate modified in any way? Was the crate extended?

On the idea of a telescoping shipping box : I have seen them in heavy cardboard when purchasing boxes for shipping modern things.Most of us have seen the "inexpensive" hard plastic, foam lined cases for modern type guns. What surprises me is that no one has come out with a simple, hard plastic, telescoping container that would allow different longer lengths to be shipped. The container could be re-used almost indefinitely.
That's what I ship barrels in. Usually 1.5"-2".I had a long bow shipped to me and the fellow I bought it from packed it in a 3" PVC tube with lots of packing.
Probably backed into with a fork-lift at the distribution center.@James Kibler I'm curious, have you ever seen anything like this? I've never seen anything like it. Your boxes are top notch.
In my 30+ years in the manufacturing industry, it's not usually the drivers or your local branch post office. The majority of the damages occur at the local distribution points. Common carrier freight is the same.I'm glad the UPS drivers in my area are top notch! It's USPS and fedex that I have problems with.
