My shortblock did not weigh near 350 lbs
Hmm....[8D]
Just let you buddy know to take it up with the shipping company. Then see if CHP will do anything for him.

Actually it should be with both!! if it were mine..but it's not so I'll let the customer deal with it..why both you ask?? number 1 since when do you use two punny ace straps and a cardboard box to hold a motor on a pallet?? I've always bolted them to a pallet or used metal straps....and as fro the freight company the only beef with them is clumsiness..cause they could say it's chps fault for improper packaging

Did you have to sign for this package?
Obvously CHP must not have the smartest people working for them, but I do beleive this package should have never been accepted. I think you should call the freight company.
I work in a warehouse and we constantly get stuff shipped that the box is messed up. You biggest concern is with the freight company and not with CHP.

As for the original shortblock, the frieght company will have to purchase it for its original cost and it will then most likely be put up for auction. Maybe there are some re usable pieces you might like to have. This is a good time to get it for cheap.

RE: CHP 347 packaging!! = crap
Listen to this horror story, when i ordered my trickflow top end kit i had it delivered to my house in san antonio. driver never showed up, and i called, tehy assured it would be there tomorrow. I waited all day, it never came. Called again and again, until finally they said it had been delivered. There were no packages outside, so I asked where they delivered it to. They gave me an address of a house that i had lived in about 6 years ago 300 miles away! They dropped 2200 dollars worth of parts on some guys doorstep. Luckily one of my brothers still lived in the same town, and went and got my packages. I sent UPS a nice email, but never heard anything back from them.

RE: CHP 347 packaging!! = crap
Well the package was origianlly shipped to my address in san antonio, and when i first contacted UPS i confirmed that the boxes were to be shipped to my house in SAN ANTONIO. How they ended up 300 miles away is a mystery to me
