The 2 post above me bring up so good points however, there is 2 sides of the coin. Once you back something like side above the price of the shipping starts to go up. Then you get people complaining how shipping cost are to high. This is where buying insurance comes into to play. I think the man problem here is the time frame. Maybe in the furture it wuld be best to asked the seller not to ship until such and such date that way you could be there to make a claim.

Even in the rotors were to be shipped in a wooden crate with 2 feet of packing material around it. All it takes is once carless forklift driver to put a blade right through the box and you would still be in the same situation. It sucks either way you look at it.
