I had no say as to the shipper or the method.

eBay's calculator had the shipping at $22 to ship it from N.J. to Calif, I knew that was wrong and rather than risk a pissed off seller tossing it in a box and trying to ship it for the least amount possible I wrote them and told them to pack it well and charge me the difference
It cost me another $30 but i Felt it would be worth it.

I can't fault the seller, this set was triple boxed, first box had peanuts, that was placed into another box that was a snug fit, that was placed inside a really big oversize box with several inches of peanuts all around, I was confident when I saw it that it was going to be OK but I was wrong.

I think it was handled face down, the bottom of the long end of the box had some damage like it had been dropped but it really wasn't anything that threw up a red flag to me.

The plastic screen on this set seems to be made of really thin plastic so maybe it didn't take much to crack it, nothing else was damaged in the slightest, the set still works even.
