Just a back up about the post office. Years ago when my mom was alive
and still working she spent some time at the main post office in S.
Louis and said all the packages marked "fragile" or "glass" where thrown
against the wall then bounced on the conveyer , normal boxes were mostly
just tossed onto the ramp and rollers. Never ship USPS

I have bought over 50 tubes from Ebay sellers, overseas, over the last 3
years. Mostly GS 35 some GS31, GI7b, and a few 4cx800 all Russian
surplus. I never had the problems you are experencing. I find that
shipping never took longer then 7 or 10 days. I also find most all
dealers were honest and sold top notch tubes. I have purchased from the
same people you have. If you tested as described, I could not see a
reason for failure from the test you performed. Maybe your local post
office is using them for shot put practice before you get them. I was
shocked one day when I had a chance to visit my local post office and to
see how they threw packages over 50 foot in there sorting process.
