...That's not how to package something.
Either way, just look at the pictures at the beginning of the thread. The thing is filthy. It clearly hasn't been treated carefully; or even wiped down on occasion. It's a total shit-box.
So what if it came with one dent in the side? The damned thing has obviously been bouncing around in the back of his pickup garden. UPS didn't roll it in dirt and tear half the finish off over a period of several years.
It was given to them that way, and if it was packaged in wrap like that (which I don't doubt for a minute) it's not their fault it received a few extra knocks for good measure.
People do ship things like that; people like Dan. I've dealt with them many times before. They're absent-minded, demanding, contrary, and expect the rest of the world to offset their laziness by shouldering the responsibility.
Cheers,
Kennith
