Yes, you should have asked. Send cameras by national mail, NOT by FedEx, UPS, or their ilk. These folks are brutal on the packages entrusted to their care: there IS a reason that they make a profit, and the reason is the low wages they pay their help which, in turn, means that they hire Harry the Gorilla and Ralph the Moron-Who-Should-Be-Institutionalized as their loaders. BIG shippers -- LL Bean and Eddie Bauer and QVC -- sell clothes for the most part and these companies know how to pack clothing so that it will not be damaged. But a precision instrument ought NEVER be entrusted to the care of these ham-handed apes.
