If you search the archives you will find numerous sad tales of items improperly packed that arrived damaged. The shipper will not pay a claim if the item was poorly packed. They will even check the burst rating on the box. If you pay to have UPS store pack and insure, then they will cover damages, but it will be EXPENSIVE. Factor that into what you will pay. Also, review feedback of seller and speak to him/her to get an idea of their integrity.
