crate weight

I was wondering if anyone else was suspicious of the claimed weight of their crate. I forgot to check the drayage invoice before I opened our crate. The invoice claimed that our crate weighed 430 lbs. The only thing in the crate was:

Robot - 120 lbs
batteries(6) - 85 lbs

After the fact we had the crate weighed empty and it was 170 lbs.

So we were charged for an extra hundredweight.

Does anyone know when the crate is weighed?

Is it FedEx or the Drayage Company?
