I would be devastated.

When I shipped my three scopes from Ireland to Melbourne, the first thing I did was open the box for the C11, shake it a bit and hope I didn't hear the sound of clinking glass. All arrived in one piece thankfully. When they load your gear into a 20 foot container you know there is nothing you can do until it arrives and clears customs. No matter how you label it (fragile) they still treat it like any other box.I did have one box ripped open with a box cutter by customs once checking out the 8" Meade
Orion Optics are a very good company to deal with so I am sure you will be sorted out in due time
