I am at times not surprised with some commercial vendors here of how poorly they even package things. At times all I get is an empty box because things fell out during shipping. Amazon shipping can be very lousy at times.
Now we did have rash of thief this Christmas, anything from porch pirates to vendors shipping phoney packages. Some were intercepted during shipment, contents removed, a dumby item of equal weight placed in package, then package got put back into the system for delivery. People were getting package sand and cat litter at times instead of the expensive item they were expecting. It ruin Christmas for a lot of buyers.
I do however when I ship out insure my packages so I am not on the hook if the something goes wrong. I know it is an added cost but better safe than be out a few hundred dollars. I always add the shipping cost into insurance so I can recover it too.
