Hi
Removing the cover and motor to ship in different boxes still is a
good idea. The one I got was a mess. The box wax partially opened and
I had to search the packing to, luckily, find the H piece that
goes between the keboard and the printer.

I have shipped a couple of these over the years - I always had good luck by
removing the machine from it's pedestal entirely, and shipping them in
separate boxes. Also, fixing the locking bolt down on the typing unit before
shipping is critical.
Once the 33 is in it's 'tabletop' configuration, it's very easy to pack
it
up nicely, and the pedestal, being just light-guage sheet metal, also travels
well, if you block it from being crushed.
In the case of the original post, however, all this depends on the relative
skill of the Seller - and often that is sadly lacking.
Cheers
