Default Elvis is back in the building (in pieces)...

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/8607/elvis_busted.jpg"></center><p>Got my Elvis yesterday from the Race Store. He was broken in half at the waist, with the busted pieces rattling loose in the box. Flimsy cardboard box with plastic insides, shipped in a UPS *envelope*. Hmmm. Wonder how it got broken?

Wow, looks like you got the Albino version. Is that the young Elvis, or the drugged-out fat version?

Default Just spoke to the Race Store (great response!!)...

The gentleman on the phone was very helpful. Said that he's asked the shipping guys not to use those UPS packs for Elvis . He has already scheduled UPS to pick the damaged goods up within a couple of days, and is shipping a new Elvis, in a "more robust box", today via overnight!

Thanks Race Store!
