If you get anything From Charles, you can bet it will not be damaged! | ||

I may have entered somthing incorrectly... I went onto the UPS website and used their calculating page. I entered the dimensions of the box and it's weight and the to and from address. I think it went over normal parameters of size.. it was about a square meter including padding, which may have taken it into another pricing tier for being oversized. Not sure on that.
I couldn't believe the price either. I don't think it included insurance.
I'll try again and post results.

I asked this same question recently on the USPS Reddit page if they jacked their rates up, and they just all thought I was crazy and had no idea what I was talking about. I couldn't give proof because it would take several hours to gather all the data. I just forgot about the discussion topic and didn't get any farther than that. I noticed that the shipping quotes are in the $80+ range now for vacuums too.
A lot of the vacuums I bought on eBay, everyone always shipped them upright. They were just normal people selling an old vacuum and not collectors or anything, so they probably didn't know how to remove the handles. I don't think I've ever gotten a vacuum yet that was that well broken-down into all of its individual parts. | ||

Superior packing... What you have done was to make a parcel that even the USPS Olympic Kicking and Stomping Team could not defeat. Great job! Thanks for sharing, gives us great pointers if not for ourselves but to encourage Ebay Sellers avoid ruining our vacuums. | ||

Poor packing
I bought a Eureka canister off of eBay, I wish the seller would have packaged it a little better than he did. He used a beat up box, and wadded up newspaper. This is the only part that was damaged.
