Craftex 10x18 Lathe- Shipping Question

[stephenblittle]

Hey guys/gals,

Awesome site you've got here. I am located in Newfoundland. Looking at purchasing the 10x18 Craftex lathe from Busy Bee in Dartmouth. Has anyone had any shipping horror stories with shipping? or is packaging up to par?

Thanks!

I got a 9x30 Lathemaster for software test bed purposes.
It came in a 1/8th plywoood crate that they ship from China in.
Needless to say, it fell off a forklift and broke and bent a few things.
Lathemaster graciously sent me another lathe without needing the old one in return.
