Personally I dont think soo, cause there is nothing on the actual box stating it.

Is there a tracking number on the parcel, and maybe a barcode sticker?

What I can describe of the underneath is that there is the 5 threads where the nuts are going to hold it in place with a little of double sided tape at the top.
So are you saying that the threads are potentially very fragile and will break off under vibration or stress?

I was given a tracking number from Jimmy and I could get the information on the Hong Kong Post web site to see where the parcel was in transit.

Does that mean it was registered ?

No Clarence the threads undeneath are fine and very well intact. I believe that the damage occurred to poor handle the product within transit. I see alot of freight and luggage go on planes and believe me that they don't place them nicely and sometimes the light are stack on the bottom and the the heavy get thrown on top of them.

I re-read your statement, and I think with some punctuation I understand what you mean.

What I can describe of the underneath is that there is the 5 threads where the nuts are going to hold it in place, with a little of double sided tape at the top.

I thought that the double-sided tape was with the threads!

Can I get some photos more of the weave? I quite like how the ARC one is diagonal weave, but split down the middle (i.e. it's symmetrically woven in the other direction)

Yeah thats what I told Jimmy. Being CF it shouldn't have any play within the box and padding is very important just incase they stack another heavy carton on top.
