It was delivered fairly quick. It was wrapped and strapped down on a pallet. As some other reviews state, it had some small chips, cuts, and scratches in the exterior finish but that doesn't bother me because of what this is. It's going to get some chips, cuts, and scratches just by using it. It is heavy and the welds look good on it. The FedEx driver was great and helped me load it into my truck. The heaviest pallet I've moved with it so far has weighted 1,400 pounds which it didn't have any issues. I haven't installed any hay spears in it or inserted anything into the 2 inch receiver. This is the second Titan item I've purchased and I'm very satisfied with it. The first item I purchased I had to modify it for it to work so I thought I would give Titan another chance for any future purchases from me and they did good on this purchase.
