Default Empannage Box(s)

Hey guys I received notice that my -8 empannage shipped this week. I couldn't wait for Monday's delivery and talked my local FedEx office into letting me pick it up. There was only one box, and it was fairly small. My question is did your larger box come via another type of shipping? I only received one tracking number from Van's. I was like a kid on Christmas day opening a gift and not getting the batteries!! ;-)
Thanks Michael

There should be 2 boxes, the big one with skins and longerons etc, and the smaller containing the ribs and hardware...
I think I had one tracking number and both boxes were received at home at the same time.

For what it's worth, I no longer use Fed-Ex. There have been too many mistakes and inconveniences. I told Van's that and they put it into my file.

Bummer! I only received one, shipping label from Vans says one box. I'll have to wait until Monday and do some research.
