Re: Is this any way to ship a clarinet?

Since I scrambled 2 sets of photos, let me clarify.

1) Yamaha YCL-72CS shipped in Yamaha case simply shrink wrapped in plastic, from Miami to Orlando. Case latches both broken, probably not shipping damage. Clarinet had messed up register key and other issues, probably also not shipping damage. I returned to sender (in a box!) as "unplayable" and got a full refund.

2) Leblanc VSP shipped in Priority Mail box with no additional padding, from St Cloud FL to Orlando. Clarinet is in great shape, I'll post about that later.

Does anyone want to defend this kind of treatment of fine instruments as no big deal? Do you ship your $3000 R13's this way? From NY to Berlin and back? And nothing bad happens? Or if it does get damaged, it "would have happened anyway" even with a good sized outer box and plenty of padding?
