sucks.

I'd for sure contact the seller. A lot of these ebay sellers will work their assses off to make it right. If the packaging was sufficient enough, and the seller could prove it, there SHOULD be some compensation. I know UPS will cover $100 even if there's no ins. Not sure what USPS policy is on this though.

And like redhawk said, use that video.
