An Export Shipment Requires Extra Packaging
The movement and hazards of international transit are many times greater than a domestic move on U.S. highways. The roads are not always smooth, the seas are not always calm and railroads are not always tender.
This machine was packed for domestic shipment on a simple pallet with no protection and not blocked correctly in the shipping container. The pallet failed and the machine apparently broke loose inside the container and was tossed about during its trip to the United States.
