Don't know who you are..and I have no **** dog in this fight. I don't care who's truck is bigger or what not...I have not posted on here in 2 years and the only reason I am is because of David.
Here's the truth of the story.
Magnets can and WILL be flawed. It happens 1 out of every 1000 or so..if it is jostled just the wrong way it will crack...a ticking time bomb if you will.
You..had him ship it to some other guy that you traded or sent things to. It cracked in shipping, it was packaged properly...my understanding a 21" woofer and something else and some other things he had in his possession that you wanted shipped or something. I don't know, best way to handle things is yourself.
Your sub, had a manufacturing defect well after the 1 year warranty period had passed. That thing had been shipped to god knows how many people over the years as it was a 2005 XXX motor. I held it myself....there was nothing wrong with it at all what so ever when it left. How could he know that it had a flaw in the magnet material itself? You do not know until it cracks! We have it happen to us in 1 out of about every 1000 or so magnets.
It could have been damaged before when you got it and it did not completely shift until fedex got a hold of it this past time when it was colder.
Long story short, not david's fault or his doing. It is your merchandise that he shipped for you. He is waiting for the shipping claim to be approved.
I packed the thing, I have built THOUSANDS of shipping crates for speakers like that. If fedex doesn't pay up, you're SOL buddy because RE definitely is not going to warranty it. It is also not David's fault that it cracked. So you either wait for them to pay the claim, or take one on the chin because you did not handle your own business yourself. Don't drag somebody else's name through the mud because of your inability to handle your own business yourself.
