Yeah, that would magnify the suckage several times, for sure.....

I have had some real issues with eBay shipping. I had one guy send me some new door seals just wrapped in plastic with a label stuck on it....no box at all. Granted those can take a lot of abuse being that they are rubber, but still....

Yeah people are dumb... it just seems like to easy a thing to mess up....

Kalli, that would suck more then i could imagine....

Rubber is stillbendable/tearable/breakable last time I checked I can't believe they would just leave it in plastic that is just plain lazy.
Well perhaps the new parts will work... It seems I have some more time for ssanding....[&:].......

Sometimes that is the way things go!

Even people who try hard to do things right screw up now and then, but it really sucks when it is our stuff that gets screwed up though!!!!

I usually ship Fed-Ex anymore (fragile stuff anyway).

Last few things I sent UPS that were breakable got broken. They would never stand behind claim(s) for damage because they claimed improper packing. Well they were packed fine. The last package I sent with them was packed in a cardboard box inside a specially built (substantial) wooden crate, The whole package was like 4 times bigger than the item inside, got broken anyway,because of"improper packing".

I have found that for the packing to be considered good enough, it must be able to support a forklift, silly me.
