HA!! I had a mint joust arrive in sacramento (different than the
non-paid one). With ALL of
the packing removed!! I had it completely wrapped in cardboard, nylon
banded to the palette (I spent
$300 on packing materials)and then stretch wrapped to hell (about 4
layers). Like I said, it arrived
with nothing but the game sitting loosly on the palette. Interestingly
enough, an employee at the Denver
depot commented right after weighing the game, that that was his
favorite game of all time and he wished he
could play it again.
 Now, when I drop off games. I explicitly say.. "too bad it doesn't
work" just to keep curious player away.
 
Otherwise, I have never had any problems with games arriving in less
than perfect condition. About 15 games so
far.
