I bought a Holley Dominator 1050 last year and it was shipped UPS. The guy wrapped the carb in a blanket and must have used a shoe horn to get it all in the box. It was packed TIGHT. Anyways he sent me pictures of it being boxed up and when UPS dropped it off it looked like the fucking thing went through a chipper/shredder. Now comes the best part, There was 2 bolt ears busted off of the base plate. Even better, it was shipped from Phoenix and took 5 days. I live 3 hrs from Phx. The guy offered to buy it back since he didn't buy the insurance but since it wasn't his fault we both just split the cost of a new plate.
