TT's have the highest rate of "destruction" in shipping. You will even find some retailers that state that they will not ship TT's or that they prefer not to ship them due to the damage rate.Besides that, one should NOT take for granted that someone knows how to pack something, especially pieces with many loose or moving parts. I have given very specific instructions as to how i wanted items packed on several occasions. If the seller thinks that such packing is "overkill" and wants to charge me a small amount for his time and effort, so be it. I would not have bought the item in the first place if i did not want it or think it was worth the asking price.
Always try to cover your "assets" as best possible as most people DO NOT know how to pack properly. Sean
