Got an email from Fred Anderson that they're running a 25% off sale. I need to pick up a radiator for my 2013 before any potential price increases on imported parts. I've only ever ordered a radiator from Serra.
Can any of the guys in this thread that made this purchase chime in on Fred Anderson's radiator packaging?

Perfect. I'm at 112k and got the infamous radiator crack. Just missed the other 25% off sale, so I did the soldering iron plastic melt fix, sanded the area, and added a thick layer of plastic jb weld on top. Is holding great so far with no leaking.
I was waiting for the next 25% off sale to change it, hoses, water pump, and clutch fan.
I cannot vouch for the radiator packing but FA sent me new car door glass. It went cross country in a huge arse box and arrived without any issue. I also just receive new headlight for my Tacoma. Similar packing. I would have no hesitation with a radiator.
I got a radiator from Fred Anderson and i'd just give it an okay on packaging. I think Serra is better at packaging.
Just got bumper crash bars and a bunch of snack parts from Serra and it was excellently packed!
Took a few days for the payment to process and a while for it to arrive, but everything was perfect.
Did they at least double box it?
I ordered mine about a year ago, so i can't 100% remember. I can check the box to see if it has a shipping label i guess, I know i had it stored in the Toyota box. That would let me know for sure. I did use the radiator, so I didn't really have a problem. I do remember the box was beat up more than i wanted though.
Serra has the same sale going on, not sure why you would risk using Fred Anderson.
edit: I want to add, that I'm not saying Fred Anderson isn't good, I'm just saying that having ordered from both semi recently. Serra has has improved their processes greatly since the early days of these sales. I'm sure that was a trial by fire type requirement for them after the first couple real big sales.
I didn't know Serra was doing the same thing right now. I know they just wrapped up a 25% off sale back in March,
My bad. I had updated one of these threads, but now that I think about it, it wasn't in the 200 forum. Keep in mind, that pretty much all the dealers that take part in this sale are all doing them at the same time. If one is doing it, most likely they are all doing it.
Just purchased a new steering rack for my '99 LX470 from Decatur Toyota (Genuine Toyota Parts and Accessories: Official Online Store Serra Toyota of Decatur - https://autoparts.toyotaofdecatur.com/). Site has parts that are 25% off and if your purchase is over $75, free S/H nationwide (can't speak for AK or HI).
Serra is running the sale with free shipping, and is excellent at radiator packing.
Worth also checking your local dealer(s) for the same sale and doing local pickup to remove that variable. Can also inspect before you take home.

That's a killer deal, especially with the price increases that are about to happen everywhere
I pulled a few parts into my cart at Serra and when I got to the checkout screen, they did not remove the shipping cost. So, not really a great deal for me.
[edit, gotta have $75 worth of parts to quali for free ship]

Not sure what type of stuff you added. You have spend over $75. But then it should be free. They sent me a driveshaft with no shipping fee, so I can't imagine what you would have added that they wouldn't have included.
