Was it sent in a box?
Fruit sent me a bike in a box and they clearly dropped it at some point and slightly bent one of the cranks, was ok in the end just needed a little heating up and bending back.. Good as new.
Sounds like you've fucked the tapers on yours though - I take it that you've tightened the shit out of it? You need to put some serious torque into that - it could also be that the bottom bracket is the wrong width and so you're just tightening onto the cups—are the cranks really really stiff to start with before they get loose?
