RadCity / Re: Rad City 5 plus - PROBLEMS??

We received our 2 white step throughs this past Friday. Assembly went fairly easy wit no real insures.  The bash guards protecting the derailleur were pushed in on both, but as stated in the Rad assembly video I simply pulled them out and straightened them.  Late Saturday we finally got a chance to test ride them, that's when I found out the my derailleur had problems.  When I shifted out of 7th gear down to say 3rd there was no problems.  But, when I shifted down to 2nd it continued to 1st and then jumped the chain off and jammed between the 1st cog and the motor and jumped the crank sprocket.  Had a hell of a time getting the chain back into place.  Apparently the derailleur took a pretty hard hit and the bash guard was considerably bent over compared to my wife's bike. 
Met the FedEx driver in my driveway were he had one of the boxes out of the van already and on it's side and was about to roll it over so the box would be up side down.  I ripped him a new one, and he really didn't shit that a $2000 bike was going to be up side down.
Anyway I'll be calling customer service tomorrow and see how they will proceed with getting the derailleur re-calibrated,  my guess would be through Velofix or the like.  Curious to hear if anyone else has had this situation.  Thanks, Chris

Well I just ordered (2) STs in white for my wife and I this past weekend and I received notice they shipped and will arrive tomorrow.  I'm surprised because I did receive an e-mail stating that living in Charlotte, NC I would see them is 5-6 business days after initial shipment.  Fed Ex tracking shows them coming out of Savannah, GA. ??? I thought they all were shipped out of Seattle???

Regardless, I just found this forum and signed up, and have to say I'm nervous with my decision after reading some of these posts.  Dropping over $4K on what I would consider a luxury item doesn't come easy to me or my wife.  Reading all the reviews on line made me feel like I made a wise choice.  I just pray....
