Freaked out about having a TT shipped


I am considering delving back into my vinyl collection. My old TT packed it in years ago and i've seen a few decent entry-level TTs here and on ebay. I'd like to buy one, but I'm freaked out at having it shipped over great distance. Does anyone have any advice on how best to package a TT so it doesn't arrive in 10 000 pieces?

Thanks.

Make sure the seller knows how to pack the TT in the original box! Just having it doesn't mean it will be shipped correctly. I bought a TT from a friend in the city where I live, after a while I wanted to have it upgraded. I packed it in the original box in the way I thought was right. The entire suspension was trashed when it arrived at Sota because I did not pack it right. It wasn't the fault of the packing, but the moron who packed it.

I would ask the person if they are the original buyer and if they know how to pack the TT in the box. They might lie, but at least you did as much as you could. Feedback is important too.
