the seller didn't pack it properly.
How well do you find the Instapak stuff works? It looks like it
should be just about ideal, but I have no data to support that
other than the fact that the two or three heavy items I've had
shipped to me in it came through fine.
You can shout till the cows come home that I'm
wrong and you hate UPS,
or whatever, but data is data.
I dislike UPS for various reasons, but breaking packages is not
one of them. And with the way the mail carriers in Philadelphia
treat my mail (including rubber-banding packages to my door handle
on a busy city street), I'm liking them a lot better than the
USPS these days.
Come to think of it, the only thing I've really disliked about
any of the carriers in the past is poor customer service in
depots or franchises, and they're all better than the USPS here
in SW Philly.
