I had exactly the opposite experience from 32phil on the shorty '32 bed I bought from Mack. This was maybe ten years ago though if that may make a difference. But the shipping rate was reasonable, the $150 crating fee was well worth it as it arrived in excellent condition and the crate was super strong. I was very pleased with how well the bed mounted to my chassis and all the bolt holes lined up correctly. It was not an inexpensive item but it was well made, the service was good and it fit well. I don't think I could have asked for more. I am still very satisfied with mine.
