[Boatanchors] Shipper damage

[john]

I'm pretty sure that the buyer of the damaged radio is correct:

* The shipping agreement is between the shipper and the seller. All 
"contractual " arrangements are between those two, including payment and 
paperwork.

* The seller did the packing.

Granted, the lack of care by the shipping companies is deplorable but it 
is possible to ship for success. I've shipped dozens of sets over 20-30 
yrs and never had one damaged. I double box all shipments and overstuff 
the boxes with hard-to-compress padding.

While the seller may be being a jerk, they're probably correct in 
stating that the responsibility for the claim headaches is with the 
shipper.

Ship as you would have others ship unto you!
