In Nov. 2020 I purchased a McIntosh MC 2155 (about 70 lbs.) from an individual near Seattle, WA. When I received the box in Michigan, the front panel was shattered. I took lots of photos before and during the un-packing, and then submitted a claim through the carrier, UPS, for the Washington store. It took over three months to be reimbursed for the parts (I did the repair). They required additional photos of the box, and its rating (it had been serviced previously by Audio Classics, and so had been well packaged), as well as me filing a complaint with the BBB against the UPS store. The box had evidently been dropped (or fell) on a one of the corners. It was not a pleasant experience, but thankfully the shipper had insured it!
