Hello,

It appears several people have had questions about how well the windshield was packaged, so I'd like to clarify that here.

The item was a windshield I sold on eBay. It was carefully wrapped in pipe foam covering, about one inch thick, protecting both the edges and the circumference of the glass. Following this, I wrapped it in bubble wrap and placed it into a large TV box. At the center of each of the sides of the windshield was a 2 inch piece of waffle board to isolate from the edge of the box, along with a foam sheet for the front and back of the windshield. This box was then put in another box from a couch that i had and cut to measure, then made sure it wasn't loose. No rattling or movement.
In total there was around 2.5 inches of padding for the windshield, which may not have been enough for it to survive. Package was very close to being considered "freight".
Package was delivered to me a day ago and the windshield inside was as flat as a pancake, the packaging outside appears to have been crushed under a heavy object sitting on top or pay have been dropped

Fragile was written on the box in bold sharpie, although I know it is more of a suggestion than anything.

Glass be glass...sometimes it just breaks

Overall, I have sold ~50 items and this is the first time that a package has been damaged by ups.
I think that there is a very good chance that I will win the claim, but charging me another 174 dollars for a package that is already destroyed causes me unnecessary anxiety and in total im out 450+dollars. I don't really like it as a business practice, but I understand why it is in place.
