I ran into similar trouble with a JRDG Model 5, the amp is more then 100lbs. and he chose to send it with about 3 pieces of peanut styrofoam, and a single ply cardboard box(not the original). I was not around and someone else signed for it and I am still dealing with this non-sense, since the end of July. It is really a shame, when someone claims they can ship the amp, and then they don't have a freaking clue what they are doing, I would not ship styrofoam in a package as poorly packaged as this amp was. So yes I feel your pain~Tim
Original Packaging, you gotta have it.
The Fedex truck just left my house, I had a cashiers check ready for payment of a Jadis Defy7. I had looked forward to giving it a listen this weekend. The seller brought it to a MBE, who boxed it in a rather large thin walled box. It was filled only with styrofoam peanuts and what looked like strips of styrofoam. The amp was shipped Fedex Standard Overnight from NJ to CA, at a cost of $250. The corner of the amp was peeking out of the box, with only tape which it looks like Fedex tape there to keep the amp in. The box also had a hole big enough to place my hand in to feel the tubes. I obviously refused the COD shippment and hope it makes it back to the seller in one piece and hasnt been broken beyond repair.
I word to the wise, if you dont have the original boxes, then use Double Walled cardboard on the outside, another box inside that and make sure the unit does not shift inside the box. It sadly looks like this amp was not packed well.
