YUP! Once the US Postal Dis-Service cracked the first Four inches off my 2012 HO S2. Ski was destroyed. There was no recourse either, as the box had no visible damage before I opened it.
Another time, I was trying to send a ski to another baller in England. Paid a hefty sum for the US Postal Service to ship it across, only for them to decide they cant find the address and sent it back to my local hub. They wouldn't refund anything, because, they shipped it all the way there... and back again.
