This phono was DOUBLE BOXED!!! Just think of what

Well - I recently purchased a Columbia AS coin-op. This is what it looked
like when I opened the box. I thought I would post a few pictures to show
what happens when a phonograph is poorly packaged. It is a shame!
The good news is I just saved a ton of money on my car insurance by
switchin
Thanks for the photos, who was the shipper, are those tears on the rug, and

Thanks for your thoughts - It was supposed to be fully insured. As it turns
out the seller insured it for less then the amount I requested. It didn't
make a difference because it was not packed to UPS standards so they denied
the claim. This time it was not UPS's fault. There was almost no pack
What a horrible nightmare!! The way the item was packed? was nothing short
of criminal!! There is no justice!!
