Man.. I honestly don't think the majority of the population has a clue about how to pack anything. I am literally so bummed I don't have words. What is with people and their crappy pack jobs? I just received a real beauty. A pair of SEAs tweeters from a seller. He used a piece of painter's tape held off by pieces of cord over the domes in a box with wadded newspaper? and he taped over the SEAS labels which tore off when removing the tape. Yes, both SEAS tweeters are dented. I no longer want them. But I have to pay the shipping back to the seller and wait for him to refund me. I can no longer deal with this. The system is breaking down somewhere- this should not be happening at all. I hardly ever get a package that isn't damaged anymore. It irks me that someone gets on the forums to sell really nice gear but then are too lazy to pack it right and it gets damaged. All to save 5 cents and two minutes. Unknowing that this will cause days of headaches for buyers. Hardly anyone doubles boxes anymore. It's just wrong.
I guess the point of this thread is I am out of answers and out of tolerance for these kind of situations. I have no idea why I am getting so many damaged, underpacked items. Does anybody have any advice for making sure this happens less frequently. I always email the seller about packing. Always. Maybe this is where I'm going wrong? And buying on one particular forum doesn't seem to matter either. I've gotten bad packing everywhere. Even from self professed geniuses. Even though a piece of gear has been paid for, it is still technically mine until the buyer communicates he is satisfied. So I pack it as if it is my own and always caution the buyer about safe opening of the package.
