That's too bad man.  I hate to see that kind of negligence,  it really makes you wonder what happened.  To see that kind of a break it had to make quite a cracking sound.  I'm sure someone dishonest heard it break and simply ignored it.  Makes me upset >:(

I've had a few shipping disasters with Canada Post. One involving a forklift... a finished bow packed in a heavy cardboard carpet roll was sideways on a forklift with a bunch of other parcels and the operator ran through a door. The lift fit... the bow did not. Snapped it in half. Canada Post wanted to know if it could be repaired.  ::) It took months before the insurance claim was settled.

Ooooooohhh...  Now that looks like something that would happen to me in my luck...
That's why I always package bows or bow materials in a scheule 40 PVC pipe with taped on endcaps. Stick a package label on it and it ships beautifully.

That's the norm HL, but this bow had too much reflex and would probably need a 6" pipe, big money to buy and ship that bugger. Crap happens when you handle millions of packages every 24 hour period. Doesn't make the sting go away, but its reality.

I feel Your Pain. I have a 1956 Bear Kodiak Special, 64", 52#, that was near mint. Purchased it from another collector. He packed it well, shipped it insured, and I recieved it in 2 pieces(it was a one piece bow)...Insurance paid off, but the bow will never be whole again...

Crying shame there. They hire some interesting characters at the Post Office, or so it seems....

Its J-U-N-K Onebow, I looked at it from every angle. The boo is good, but not worth the effort to separate it.

That sucks Pearlie.  I just shipped that gator grip bow and arrows.  I used UPS and paid an outrageous price with insurance.  But, I don't want to worry about it.  Ugh...
Pappy's right, shipping sucks.
