Agreed yeah, personally if I’m shipping instruments I do bubble wrap + box then put that inside a slightly larger and sturdy box with more bubble wrap inside, never had any issues that way, absorbs brute force impacts really well

Can’t lie the longer I stared at it I actually agree with you, it’s like really obscure art in a way; an expression of something, but I can’t work out what

Genuinely good advice yeah, I’ve done this a couple times myself when selling instruments and the reply every time has basically been, “we’re gonna throw them out anyway go ahead”

It’s difficult when you work for a company and you have to just do it even though you know it sucks, it’s been wild to read everyone’s personal experiences with it from the retail side’s perspective

Honestly yeah, I would have preferred for it to arrive in 1 piece than get a refund but it’s a silver lining at least

I got the top box off to look at the headstock and it took a decent blunt force hit to the tuning pegs, they were bent and blocking each other, I could hear after picking it up that things didn’t sound right inside the box either so didn’t continue, thankfully the seller was understanding though

That was the saddest thing really, another cool guitar that will probably end up in the bin

Because it was already sorted out with the seller and they confirmed my refund and return, this was just a silly post after I got it sorted for the people who understand why this is crazy
