???
I sent a build off to one of my first customers. I tightened and tested everything before I sent it off- customer received it and it's grounded out somewhere and everything is loose.... Really
Embarrassing. What do you guys do? I refunded him, no questions asked- i just really want to avoid this in the future.
Thanks!

due to temperature, pressure, and manhandling during shipment?
...I'd try maybe putting it in the fridge/freezer to cool it down then tightening up or using electrical tape/heatsink on problem bare wires/metal
A 50 piece rachet set with some pliers does the trick for me.
Worst feeling. I once gave a pedal to a friend for his birthday, he got it home and it didnt work.. I felt pretty crap!
Now i've sold a few to people and havnt had any complaints yet, but its still my worst fear ill actually sell a pedal and it wont work on delivery for some reason!
I too have encountered this. And I tighten my jacks to just before the stripping point.
I think there is ALOT of vibration during shipping. And now that I pad more, I have no complaints.
I used to use minimal padding, rationalizing that my builds would not be getting crushed.
But isolating your precious cargo from hours of vVVVVVVvvvvvibration on a plane or a truck just makes sense.
Wow, that sucks.
The extra padding is probably the best idea.
My only other thought would be to try replacing all the flat washers with split-ring or spring washers? (I have not tried this)
