I will never buy a piece of electronic equipment or photographic equipment from Amazon again. Their packaging is absolutely horrible on even the most delicate of items. I ordered a Blue Mouse from Amazon, and the package arrived in a box 4X too large for the microphone, and one deflated plastic bubble inside. The presentation box from Blue was smashed and the microphone loose in the cardboard shipping box. They did the same thing with a $1,000 zoom lens a year earlier. I only use Amazon.com for indestructible items.
