If two is as I stated, then the lack of insurance falls on the arranger/payer(who actually paid the shipper?).

If one is as stated, and two is as stated, you can argue all day long about who is going to be financially responsible (when you arrange and pay for shipping you kinda take responsibility because the sender then has no basis upon which to file a claim on the buyer's behalf.

You might zip tie components within a vehicle together, but I'll bet you would never consider zipping the body to the frame- same physics going on with the sign and the box moving independently of one another. The weak link (zip ties) will eventually fail....


SO, if that's the case seller could have wrapped w/ tissue paper?
