[78-L] leaving negative feedback

[soundthink at aol.com]

I have left "constructive" feedback about well-meaning shippers who just weren't careful enough, and received inflammatory E-mails from them saying that I should have contacted them first to get restitution before "flaming" them. Even though a full refund was offered, it doesn't make up for the fact that the seller was careless and needlessly destroyed a valuable item. In these cases, it's still necessary to warn future buyers to be cautious when dealing with sellers who don't know how to pack.
