For me, I've never trusted another person to pack a bike I'm selling since I figure they're not on the hook if something goes wrong.
I've packed and shipped several completes and frames, and so far (knock on wood) never had a buyer complain. I'm not a pro by any means: I'm slow, I use far too much packing material, and I tend to disassemble items I'm never about getting damaged or causing damage during transit. IMO if a person is mechanically inclined enough to work on their bike, packing one is well within their capability. Good luck on getting your issue resolved. --Ed C.
