well, it was like this. i got a call from the shipper at about 1 pm, i gave the driver the gate code and said to drop it by the tractor in front of the house. i got called into work that day so i couldn’t be there. i came home about 2 am, it was raining. i found my shipment laying on the side of the road in the ditch about a quarter of mile from the house. i decided not to leave it there until morning so i got the tractor and put the forks on it and went back to pick it up and brought it to the house. i haven’t unpacked it yet because i’ve been working a lot but it seems to be intact. i guess this is what “ free” shipping is? i don’t know.
