I am not quite so sure. If I bought something of the quality and the pricing of an HNT Gordon tail vise (circa $350) then I would expect the quality to extend to the packaging. A reasonably sturdy and appropriately sized carton, at the minimum. Bubble wrap, paper and gaffer tape is demonstrably not adequate, and certainly not AusPost resistant. No argument about AusPost exacebating the situation.

My assessment now is that Terry is rather embarassed by the happenings, and will quietly take remedial action to ensure that it does not re-occur.
