Looking back on the Forum... I've bought some stuff, had all the sellers given me "Positive Feedback" I'm sure my trade count would be double.
Going back to the title, "At Own Risk" I once received a Tablet (bought without charger for my kid) It was only wrapped in that PostNet blue bag, how it made it through is beyond me. I mean come on! Had it been damaged I would have demanded a refund because in this case, It's not at "Own Risk" YOU PLACED ME AT RISK!
Thinking back I also once received an amplifier hanging out the bottom of the box, again no damage, UNBELIEVABLE! That's why in most cases components are double boxed. Guys the least you can do is double the floor.
Advertising at "Own Risk" does not except you the seller from taking reasonable care to ensure the item makes it through our Postal System and I'm sorry if you haven't shown reasonable care but neglect, then the Risk is on you! And the buyer is in full right to demand a refund or Seller to pay for repairs.
Having said all of that some guys pack like ROCKSTAR S! The thing could fall off the back of the truck and still make it through, guys like Andre Kent, Eddie Bloem, fdlsys and MarkC come to mind only to mention a few. A special shout-out to Mike for custom creates and Mr Chris Templer for my BIGGEST and MOST expensive courier! The custom built creates came in at 2? 2m ? 2m and weighing in @ 760 kgs, EINA!
