Ugh, why must minty vintage things be destroyed because people can't pack them properly.

So I bought this, which made it from France and lived happily for a number of years in Canada.

Now I make my own resized boxes too, but I make sure they're sturdy and use more than 2 strips of newspaper and 1 layer of thin bubble wrap as packing material. There was that one crack on the bottom corner, but the package was good otherwise and the vehicles were mint. Now I've got one package end busted, the trailer punched through the bottom, and pieces of buggy roll cage rattling around in the package.

I could fix the roll cage, but it will never be the same. The seller accepts returns but why should I pay to send this back to Canada because someone's packing job was crap. Also I've never even seen this set before, much less mint. But of course it isn't any more. :drunk:
Waiting to see what I hear back from the seller.
