The description of the damage, and the picture, both make it look to me like this is an item that needed extra care to get it ready for shipment. It probably was not obvious to the seller that the radio either had a basic structural design flaw, or else was missing fasteners. The heavy speaker appears to have been supported only by two flimsy strips of wood. If the speaker board had been securely screwed to the inside front of the case, it probably would have survived.
It's a shame it was damaged...but we all can at least learn to be more careful with stuff that we ship. Heavy things need to be securely fastened! It's a basic principle of packing things for shipment, that many folks seem to be oblivious to. I've received several damaged items because of the same problem. If something heavy can move inside a package, it will break stuff. Hopefully the damage can be repaired without too much loss of appearance. thanks for sharing your experience!
