This is such a problem that Lloyd Butfoy developed his own armored plastic shipping crate. I knew one guy that shipped a partially disassembled ZF to RBT. Railway Express lost the mainshaft, and balked at the replacement cost- $2250 in 1982! They found out in Court that was the real price, but it took 8 months of legal arguing to replace it. Probably more, now.
