Just doing a bit of a straw poll really ...

I'm considering ordering a scope (8" Dob) by mail order, but I'm fairly uneasy about having something like a telescope handled by couriers. I really don't expect couriers to handle it with anything like the degree of care I would myself.

How do others feel about ordering a full scope by mail order? Are they generally packed well enough to survive couriers?

Thanks,
CL
