Gary's correct. When the insurance is purchased, the person at the desk asks
how it's packed. If it's not packed the way it should be, they add another
box or have you to re-pack it before it's shipped. If they accept it as is,
it's their baby, they owe it. I've had them to open mine before shipping to
see how they were packed because of the high insurance values. If the accept
it, again, it's their baby.

They are not right. If they accept your payment for "insurance" that is
an additional fee over the normal shipping liability they have. With
insurance they are guaranteeing it will arrive safely.
Poor packaging is their responsibility to determine before they accept
the package for shipment. What is the definition of "poor packaging"?
If they accept the package after you pay for insurance there should be
no question as to how it was or wasn't packed when it comes time to pay
up. Their insurance is a big rip off!
Vent mode off.
