I understand the anger here because I am so tired of some sellers - not the majority at all but they stand out - mailing vintage items with no protection or bad protection. For example, I bought two very nice stills last week. When I got them, they had been mailed with cardboard that had bends in both pieces. As a result, the stills have bends right down the middle which they did not have before. I have never left negative feedback but what is a good buyer supposed to do in a case like this? Naturally, the stills took on the shape of the cardboard. There have been other horror stories, too. I get so frustrated.
