I ordered 10 gallons of liquid Polyurethne Molding Rubber once.- 5 gallons of Part A, 5 Gallons of Part B. Cost me $495. Had it shipped UPS.. Well, UPS ruptured the buckets and had to clean it up enroute. I did not get the order. I re-ordered, and low and behold, they did it again. I ordered again, and this time, had the company specify separate tickets. I got one bucket, the other was destroyed by UPS. But I at least got one. I ordered again the missing bucket, and it got through that time. Cost me 8 weeks screwing with it. After that, I just bit the bullet and had the stuff shipped air freight from the get go.
