Mike.......Sounds like you had a level of respect for the seller but I have to say he was foolish to expect a pack & ship store to properly support and secure the MR80 for shipping. I mean, you have to be a bit lackadaisical to just drop off the MR80 and believe the minimum wage fellow in the back room knows anything about shipping McIntosh gear. The only way to ship a McIntosh component is in the properly designed double boxes that McIntosh uses. The ol' "Don't worry, I know how to pack audio gear" doesn't fly with me when it comes to shipping McIntosh gear. It either gets shipped in the proper boxes or I don't make the purchase.

I am sorry to hear about the smashed glass. That is infuriating to discover when you are excited about receiving a new component. Good luck with the repair.
