Re: Fair way to resolve this?
Yeah, I'm not trying to bust the dude's ***** about it. He attempted to package everything well, just didn't use quite enough tape.
Gorilla, if I attempt to get it repaired, I'd use this stuff called real welding. A friend needed a crank pulley welded because apparently it was my fault the crank pulley wasn't fully torqued when it was laying on the floor, and not theirs for assuming it was fully torqued while the block was sitting on the floor (which would have not been an easy task), allowing the crank pulley to be shattered. They had someone weld it back together, and I couldn't tell it was every welded.

Re: Fair way to resolve this?
It was packaged well. Loads of bubble wrap and newspaper, just one of the cams was loose and the one that was in the bubble wrap wasn't taped shut at the top/bottom.
I received a header the other day. Very fast shipping, so I won't complain, however he threw the pieces in a box full of styrofoam and peanuts, and I got to spend 20-30 minutes trying to get all the shards of styrofoam out. I know it's not really a big deal, but it isn't a big deal to throw the stuff in a garbage bag before dropping it in peanuts either.
