Ouch!!

I have received a number of very expensive mirror shipments over the years, but thankfully have never seen that sort of result.

Then again they all were double boxed, the inner being in a sea of styrofoam beans....so even dropping the box from head-height had no damaging effect.

Unfortunately bubble-wrap alone doesn't cut it...and shipping large mirrors in their cell is not a great idea if you can't monitor the handling every step of the way. (there fancy new "g-force" sensing labels that now address this)

Hope it works out OK in the end...
