I paid $85 for shipping. For that one should expect a decent packaging job. I didn't expect it to be wrapped in goose down pillows and given a first class ticket on Lufthansa, but I think some level of common sense should apply as well.

IAB - Breathe deeply...relax. Ok, I agree with you that one should expect what is advertised and nothing more. However, it should be the responsibility of the seller to make sure that the buyer gets what they paid for, Yes? If they can't to do that (other than by blind luck) then they should not agree to ship the item at all. Also, what is wrong with honest feedback? Isn't that what it's there for? To educate other potential buyers? FWIW, I left neutral feedback in this case, simply stating how the frame was packed, because this seller advertises that they ship worldwide. To me it seemed appropriate.

If you disagree, fair enough, ride on brother . I forgot I posted this as I have been busy trying to find the final parts I need to get it on the road.

PS. Build pics coming soon.
