All settled. Now the search for another that was as nice as that one. Thanks for trying.

I worked for Fed Ex express (USPS contracts express and air with them by the way)and I can tell you those cans that board the plane are packed with freight and the packages are litteraly thrown from the sort belt to the can 8 ft. and I do mean thrown to make the flight once they arrive from the Postal service..........I am sure all carriers do the same.

I sure learned a lesson, If I ever ship another one of those I will make sure to wrap it extra careful an insure it.

Anything that can break when bent or impacted I pack in a rigid package with cushion. I use 1/4" plywood and 1 x 2 a lot. It's the lightest and cheapest way to add structure. I just sent N.O.S. '72 woodgrain door inserts in a cardboard box with 1/4" cardboard cut to fit the inside...that's it,no frame. They were packed with 1" white bead board foam and I replaced that with 3/4" Dow rigid foam sheathing. These were worth at least $500 and irreplaceable. It cost just under $25 to ship FedEx insured and they arrived perfect. I get so nervous shipping this good stuff. Never take for granted what a package might go through. A package should arrive in the same condition as if you had placed the part in the seller's hands from your hands.
