[1000mp] Shipper and claims

[Cecil Acuff]

That's crazy....Now a fork lift operator is going to handle every amp and 
first have to remove that palletized 10KW generator from on top of it to get 
it out of the truck...

Why not ship it two boxes...or three as other amp manufacturers do.  Heavy 
iron in one box, tubes in one box and chassis in another.....reduces the 
damage potential of all involved...

Just my 2 cents worth....
