[H4] Shipping Guidelines Let’s make sure your return arrives safely and complete… You can help to ensure that your package arrives safely and on time with these packaging guidelines recommended by McLeod Racing LLC. Use a rigid box with flaps intact (200 lb box recommended) Remove any labels, hazardous materials indicators, and other previous shipment markings on the box that are no longer applicable Wrap all items separately Use adequate cushioning material Use strong tape designed for shipping Do not use string or paper over-wrap MUST Include a Copy of your Completed RMA Form inside an envelope, inside the box Use a single address label that has clear, complete delivery and return information Place a duplicate address label inside the package Step 1 Use a Corrugated Box Whenever possible, use a new box. The more times a box is used, the more it loses its original protective qualities, so a previously used box may not adequately protect your shipment. If you must reuse a box, make sure it is rigid and in excellent condition with no punctures, tears, rips, or corner damage, and that all flaps are intact. Remove any labels and all other shipment markings from the box. Choose a box strength that is suitable for the contents you are shipping. Weight limits printed on the Box Maker's Certificate (found on the bottom flap of most boxes) are intended for palletized freight shipments, not for shipments through small parcel carrier environments. Following the UPS Box Strength Guidelines will help ensure your package is of adequate strength to provide sufficient protection. Step 2 Provide Internal Protection It is important to cushion the contents of your package properly. Please be sure that you wrap each item separately. Fragile articles need separation from each other, and from the corners, sides, top, and bottom of the box. Each item should be surrounded by at least two inches (5.08 cm) of cushioning and be placed at least two inches (5.08 cm) away from the walls of the box. This prevents product-against-product damage and protects contents from shock and vibration, which can pass from the outside of the box to the contents. Please use proper cushioning material, combined with a strong outer container, to protect your shipment fully. Make sure you use enough cushioning material to ensure that the contents do not move when you shake the container. Improper cushioning material includes clothing, blankets, towels, newspaper/newsprint, and pillows. Instead, please use the materials listed below to cushion and protect your shipment Corrugated liners and inserts May be added to the package to increase strength and improve package performance Crumpled Kraft paper Used primarily as a void-fill material for light-to-medium weight, non-fragile items and items that are suitable for such packing materials Must be tightly crumpled Place at least two inches (5.08 cm) of paper between contents and outer box Step 3 Close Your Container Securely Proper closure of your container is just as important as proper cushioning for the safety and security of your shipment. To close a box securely, do not use masking tape, cellophane tape, duct tape, string, or paper over-wrap. Instead, use a strong tape -- two inches (5.08 cm) or more in width -- such as these types: Pressure-sensitive plastic Generally the easiest, most convenient tape to use Versatile because it adheres without water and sticks to a variety of surfaces and shapes Apply three strips to both the top and bottom flaps of the box. For regular slotted containers (RSC), where the flaps meet in the center, apply three strips of tape to both the top and bottom of the box, so the middle and two edge seams are sealed. For corrugated containers where the flaps overlap (FOL), apply three strips of tape to both the top and bottom of the box, so the three edge seams are sealed. Nylon reinforced filament tape Use 60 lb (27 kg) grade tape at least three inches (7.62 cm) wide Apply three strips to both the top and bottom flaps of the box. For regular slotted containers (RSC), where the flaps meet in the center, apply three strips of tape to both the top and bottom of the box, so the middle and two edge seams are sealed. For corrugated containers where the flaps overlap (FOL), apply three strips of tape to both the top and bottom of the box, so the three edge seams are sealed Step 4 Use Proper Labeling For fast and efficient delivery, keep these points in mind when labeling your package: Always include the recipient´s postal code with the complete street address. For international shipments, include a contact name, telephone number, and postal code. You must make every effort to obtain a street address. If a shipper should use a P.O. Box address, the recipient´s telephone number must be included on the label. Please include the apartment or unit number, if applicable. Place the shipping label on the top of the package. To avoid confusion, place only one address label on the package. If you are using a packing slip, place it on the same surface of the package as the address label. Do not place the label over a seam or closure or on top of sealing tape. Remove or cross out old labels or markings on a used box. Always include your complete return address, including full street address and postal code. For international shipments, include a contact name, telephone number, and postal code. Place a duplicate label or other form of identification inside your package. Note: If you are using a mailing tube, place the label horizontally, with each end of the label pointing toward the ends of the tube, so the bar code can be scanned.

Your Diagnosis
Before revealing the machine’s verdict, predict the BS score for each signal. Higher = more BS (more fluff, less verifiable substance). Drag each slider, then submit to compare your judgment against the engine.
Stuck? Reveal the heuristic lens — how the deterministic page-auditor reads each signal (no AI, pure pattern rules)
These are the structural rules a local, deterministic auditor applies — the same lens you can use to judge each signal. They describe what to look for, not this company’s result.
Classify each sentence as substantive or hollow. Grounding markers — numbers, currencies, dates, technical units, named entities — outweigh marketing adjectives. When fluff sits right next to hard evidence, the fluff is forgiven.
Pull the main entities out of the H1, then check whether they actually recur through the body. A page that announces one thing and then talks about another drifts. Headings with no real sentences underneath read as pseudo-substance.
Count trust words (review, testimonial, rating, verified) against real outbound proof links (Google, Trustpilot, Clutch, G2, Yelp). Lots of trust language with zero verification links is trust theatre. Unlinked logo galleries count against it.
Look at how much sentence length varies. Natural writing varies its rhythm; templated or mass-produced copy is statistically uniform. Very low variation reads as commodity content — unless unique named entities break the pattern.
Inspect the JSON-LD. Is there an Organization or Person schema, and does it carry sameAs links to real external profiles (LinkedIn, socials)? Missing schema or no identity declaration signals an anonymous entity.
Want to apply this lens yourself? The free BS Indicator Chrome extension runs these heuristic checks live on any page. Bear in mind it is a single-page, deterministic tool — it relies only on pattern rules for the page in front of it and does not perform the cross-page semantic correlation this audit uses, so its readout is a starting lens, not the full verdict.

Industrial, Manufacturing & Engineering BS: McLeod Racing (mcleodracing.com)
McLeod Racing delivers high-substance hardware described through low-substance digital technicals. The business appears legitimate and physically capable, but its online presence relies on legacy marketing cliches and suffers from a total absence of modern trust signals like structured data or verified certifications.
Immediate implementation of Organization and Product schema is required to provide a verifiable digital identity. Replace generic fluff headings like ‘Highest Quality & Innovation’ with specific capability statements or industry certifications (e.g., ‘ISO 9001:2015 Certified Manufacturing’). Link onsite reviews to a verified third-party platform to eliminate trust theatre. Publish technical case studies or ‘tech tips’ that include measurable performance data rather than just installation instructions.
The site strongly aligns with the Industrial, Manufacturing & Engineering category, specifically focusing on automotive driveline components. Content is heavily technical, referencing specific mechanical parts like ‘hydraulic throw out bearings’, ‘SFI Aluminum bellhousings’, and ‘TREMEC Transmissions’.
“The score of 46 is primarily driven by the 'Identity and Authority' pillar (13/15) due to the total absence of schema and the 'Trust and Proof' pillar (10/20) because of unverified quality claims. While the technical specs in the body text are strong, the poor technical implementation and reliance on manufacturing cliches prevent a 'Low BS' rating.”
