I posted this before..so take heed...A couple years ago I sent Breck a pair of VHE 16/32" barrels for blue..Had no dents. VHE 32"16s are kind of scarce..so...I wrapped barrels in Bubble wrap..put them inside a schedule 40 PVC pipe..and securely fastened both ends. Breck did his magic..and sent the barrels back in PVC with $1000 insurance. They arrived with a dent in the left tube.. FEDEX reply ??...We won't pay because the tube should have been in cardboard too..I beat on the scrap piece with a ball peen hammer..and never scratched it..Breck fixed the dent..absolutely perfect..I recently bought an Italian O/U..and asked about insurance.. This is a large dealer..and was told they hold $$$ in escrow because it's a waste of time and money to deal with shipper insurance...because they never pay..Just my 2 cents worth...........
