[TheForge] Postal woes..a lesson learned

Yeah, that was Josh Kavett's experience.  I think he finally got the
broken-off horn, but IIRC he couldn't both KEEP the anvil and get a
money settlement from UPS.

Bottom line:  Crate an anvil before shipping it.  That way when some
jerk kicks it off the back of the truck, the crate breaks, not the
anvil.

Wasnt there a thread a few years ago about how UPS broke an anvil and
refused to make good on it?

or have I fallen off my rocker again..
