Yes, they were packaged very well. I really didn't think they could get messed up with the way they are packed.
I have not attempted to remove the sticky plastic layer but the actual globe looks to be intact from what I see inside. It is the lenses that broke. The one side, you can see a spot in the "L" that looks like it was hit. The crack "Y"s there and it is full of glass shards and dust. The back side looks like a pressure crack.
I hadn't ever had to filed a claim with Fedex. Are they good about covering the insurance or do they look for any way to get out of it? I sent the details to someone at Morphy. They are already working on it.
