FedEx Heavy = "pay a surcharge for heavy boxes, get it moved by a 120
pound delivery person with a handtruck rather than a pallet jack or
other appropriate freight handling equipment... and dropped off the
truck". My experience is a 40% damage rate when shipping Cisco 7507
and 7513 routers via FedEx Heavy. Here are some pictures from back
when I was at AboveNet: http://www.seastrom.com/fedex/
