If you don´t have the original carton, use a fitting neutral packaging or call us and ask us to send you a new shipping carton which will be shipped to you at your expense. Mark the carton as containing FRAGILE ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT to reduce the potential for damage. However, we take no responsibility for any shipping damage that occurs en route to us.
