I am waiting a reply from the seller to see what type of box he put it in & if it was branded Fed-Ex or not. Not that it really matters but i am curious as this will confirm if the parcel was opened & repacked. In regards to the actual packing of the item,the item itself wasnt wrapped up but,i am sure this is possibly the sellers doing however,there was enough styrofoam & packing peanuts to sink a small boat in the box cushioning everything. I know the seller mentioned he put a hell of alot of packing peanuts in there so if it was repacked they put everything back in,or at least as much as they could put back in. Overall i am happy enough that the item finally arrived & while i am not sure i would use Ebay Global Shipping again i am at least glad that out of the bad stories about this service i have at least one good story.

I now am thinking & i wonder about the video,wether his problems were a random thing,if the actual seller he bought from is possibly at fault or wether perhaps they have listened to the complaints & stepped their game up a bit

Glad it all arrived in one piece

It shows that there's a possibility the service isn't as bad as it sounds although I still don't like the idea of items being re-packed.

I dont like the whole idea of repacking either. This is why i am holding judgement until i get word from the seller on exactly what box they used. I mean for all i know the seller did use a fed-ex box to send the item. Even then,i still am a little dubious & i will still not use ebay global if i can help it. Just because i got one good thing it never gurantees the next will be just as good.
