Yes. When they pack it & place the air pillows in & it clearly doesn't fit, they then push down the box, damaging the item as they close it. Seal it & send it on its way. It's happened more than once to me.

I've never had that happen to me. I guess I've been lucky.

I prefer packing paper over the pillows. The paper can give before the box does; the pillows, when overstuffed, clobber the poor box.

Maybe, maybe not. Like I said, more often than not mine arrive with very little padding. So, we'll see what happens tomorrow and beyond.

We can move this to the 10179 thread but what is your anti-scammer strategy? 3k euros plus is a lot of money in one transaction via paypal.

Hang on a minute - unauthorised activity means they say their account got hacked. If you sent the good to the right address and you have proof of delivery then Paypal should cover you with seller protection.
