Yes I too suffer from the same problem. I won't ship without doing it right. Also the time, the effort and money to ship someone else's mistake back to them, well been there too. I bought a 9" Motorola (8BP4) set with just 2 sheets of paper and trash-in-a-box. well the cabinet (wood) de-veneered and was cracked...everywhere. Ratsnest in the TV and all kinds of bad things in it. I let the seller know and of course denied everything that it was "packed very well" yeah with every part of the cabinet touching a used broken up cardboard box. No refund and I wasn't going to ship it back at a loss. Good for parts only.
I also live in Orlando by the way.

So I am out no cash but prob at leas 1 hour of fabrication, take it to UPS, and have nothing to show for it. I HOPE it got there alright, I never heard back from either the seller or the buyer, no good deed...
