A cardboard box for a huge aluminum decklid?
please tell me it was cardboard covering a wooden-framed box, because if it’s just cardboard, that aluminum decklid doesn’t stand a chance of safely arriving in Europe
some years ago, an owner on the East Coast purchased an NOS fender from a private seller in Oregon. Despite the buyer asking for a wooden crate, and willing to pay the increased cost, the seller tossed the fender in a cardboard box and sent it on its way. The story ended with UPS settling a claim for the value of the fender, which was so thoroughly damaged as to be unusable
