Cracked glass/ Mcintosh

I don't have any experience dealing with an A-gon customer who claims the glass is cracked on a Mac integrated I sold him. I provided pics to him and the Mac was boxed the same way I got it from Mcintosh. Box in a box with it attached to the plywood. I find this very hard to believe.

What I'm wondering is how should this have been handled by the buyer. Shouldn't he be taking this up with the carrier? Btw, it was shipped on April 21 and just today he sends me the e-mail.The box was delivered 4/24 or 4/25. I'm just now finding this out. I also had sent e-mails to him asking if he got the tracking number and there was no response. Last week I sent an e-mail asking if he got the Mac and in both cases he never sent a reply of any kind. I need a little guidance on this.

Thanks to all

Just to have evidence that you have packed the amp with no damages:

Do you have pictures of the amp at the same time you pack it?

Do you have made a video of the amp prior and while packing it?

This is what I do with every item I sell, just to have proof -and peace of mind- if something goes wrong with shipping (apart from insurance).

I agree with Atmasphere here. Ordinarily the shipper is responsible for safe delivery.
As far as 24 hours, etc.. It's quite possible that someone else signed for it while the original purchaser was out of town, it might have been delivered late on a Friday and/or a weekend/Holiday might have delayed response, and the damage wasn't discovered until the purchaser opened the package. However in this case, there seems to be way too much time elapsed between delivery and claim of damage. The Audiogon feedback history of the buyer might be insightful here.

I never thought about taking pics as I packed the gear but, that sounds like a very good idea.
The buyers fb is very short on each transaction. I have to take that into consideration. What I read of his fb were 6 or 7 words. It's as if he had someone give fb as it's all very short.

After the Mac I shipped (in factory box etc) was damaged I started taking detailed pictures of the packaging process for my records until the unit is received and I receive the all is good email.
