In 13 years of collecting and sending and receiving hundreds of packages I've had a total of two bad deliveries. One was a paper thin Zookeeper marquee that the sender packaged horribly and I don't blame USPS, but the sender on that one. The other was an NOS unreplaceable WG6401 high res XY monitor that USPS miss-delivered and was lost (and never found).
Now, my last two sent packages have gone bad. First was a wood and metal Crazy Climber CP sent by Federal Express Home Delievery. To break apart a wood control panel they had to be trying to do it. It would easily survive most falls and drops. This was packaged well with a ton of bubble wrap.
Then just this morning, a perfect condition Tail Gunner front plexi was broken in half by USPS. If it was glass, I might understand, but this was plexi. You can bend these things 45 degrees and they don't break. Again, they had to try to break this, it couldn't happen by accident.
I guess I'm jinxed right now. Insurance on both, but I know that will be painful and they'll claim improper packing, etc. We'll see.
