Negative Positive
Title: Great Product - shipping bad (see latest comments)
Review: *** Downgraded to 2 stars ***I like Mikita tools for their quality build and reliabity. However, I learned my lesson ording big (HEAVY) products on-line. When shipped to retail stores, the unit probably survives shippment fine. Not so when it's shipped by itself. The cardboard packing in the box can't handle shipping abuse like styrofoam can. Our box was clearly tossed around or banged into during shippment which broke off the air filter assembly that screws into the cylinder head. To avoid the HUGE hassle of returning/shipping the compressor to Amazon, incurring shipping charges that were initially free when I ordered the compressor, lugging it back to UPS, and waiting for who knows how long for a replacement, I contacted Mikita and got a replacement part directly from them. The part was provided free for pick-up and was offered under warranty.
