Below is  a message a friend got after he shipped
a rare Porsche Targa door to an eBay buyer-

"  I got the door yesterday; it
sat
for several days at a neighbor's house since he
got
the address wrong.  They finally traced me down
and I
went to get it.  It was sent just wrapped in
moldy
carpet and shrink wrap.  Since it weighs in at 99

lbs,
and shrink wrap is hard to get a grip on, it
looked as
if it had been dropped several times, the door
edges
were crumpled, the sides had huge dents in them,
the
interior door pockets crushed, and BOTH widows
shattered--not at all what was in the pictures
that I
bid on.  It arrived over a month after I paid for

it.
And its in now worse shape than the door I need
to
replace."

Yes,  you guessed right- UPS.

I'd like to add that it should have been crated.
Shipping a door is risky business.
