I had just that happen on a music box I bought in England. I paid for shipping and insurance. It was poorly packed. So much so, that the bedplate casting was broken in three places, every tooth on the combs was broken and the case was demolished. The seller accepted no responsibility and said it was mine the moment he got my money. The shipper would not pay on the insurance nor would the seller pay up. I hounded him for two years on the internet whenever he tried to sell anything. His reputation was in the mud. Eventually, he gave me back my money. I believe there are a lot of people like him out there.
