Is it hard to unpack upon delivery?

My Jetson was not. I.e. Problems with the shipping, Breakage to the hold down points of the Jetson Bike etc...

It is not difficult, but it does take about 20 to 30 minutes to get it unpacked and put the review mirrors on.

Yes. The cardboard box outside lifts right off the metal frame. There are two metal holders, one on each handle bar grip, that come up with a screwdriver. After that you can lift the top part of the metal shipping structure off (weights about 10 pounds) and roll the bike off the base. Very easy to unpack and the way they package it up keeps it safe and secure during transport. Outside of unlocking the seat and turning the switch to "on" the bike is ready to go.

It's very easy to unpack, bike comes fully assembled (just have to put the mirrors on). My daughter unpacked hers solo with no problems.

Standard packaging is a pain to get open; usually plastic sealed around the edges, pieces difficult to get out of pkg. Frustration free packaging is easy open.

It was vacuum packed when I received mine. Kinda heavy, too, so shipping might get expensive.

Well it depends on many different factors, firstly does your apartment building allows deliveries to come to your apartment complex or not and secondly, how is the item being shipped. If it is shipped via LTL(read via truck) then they will call you to schedule an appointment before they bring in the stuff. But in case it is delivered via UPS/Fedex, the will try to get it to your apartment door subject to that the people sitting in the lobby (read apartment management) allows them to do so else the delivery guy will leave it in the lobby and you will be informed by the management to pick it up. Hope that clarifies your concerns.

We were really upset and thought they didnt pack one. After awhile we found it taped to the soft packing material we were about to throw away. Once you get it open and use it, youll love it. Good luck to you.

It depends sometimes they isolate it by itself and box it in a box, to be safe from breaking loose to keep the other contents from getting crushed and packed with air bladders.. You order by itself, just a small box crammed with shredded paper. You might want to split your order if it is easily broken material to be on the safe side.

I ordered 2 came in one box; one was fine and the other was smashed beyond recognition. It's been my experience that if it comes from Amazon proper they're more careful in packing.

Should I have chosen standard delivery for the safety of receiving it without any glass breaking?

I try to ship in as little packaging as possible. Amazon may put it into a padded bubble mailer or a small box when its shipped to you. I do highly recommend washing them! Mail trucks can look pretty scary! :)

Yes, but ask how they are to be wrapped and shipped. Some difficulties there.

We received ours unassembled, with the top and bottom stacked inside each other; the larger size you are looking at is likely checkable but will probably incur oversized charges.

I'm not really sure what you mean by 'frustration free packaging' but, if you mean is it hard to open the package? From what I remember, no. It was in a box and securely wrapped. Hope this helped!

Hang on to the box & packaging for repacking at time of disassembly. Should be no problem to transport.

yes when it is shipped it is compressed, but when you open it, it pops out and fills in.

I purchased a few items so they all came boxed together, so the size of that package would not be inidicitive of the size of the box if it were shipped alone. That said, Amazon does give multiple shipping options... one of them is called "Frustration Free Packaging" which comes without excess packaging materials and would generally be a less bulky shipment, perhaps even reducing the shipping box size as well in some instances. If it's an option for this product and you need smaller packaging, it may be helpful in that regard.

I'm sorry to say mine are still packed away, due to a move, and I don't recall. BUT when I received my one, it was damaged upon arrival. I had not unpacked it right away. They only cover damage for seven days so be aware of that. I know it is a nicely made product. Well worth the money if not for my unfortunate piece that was delivered damaged.

I would agree the packaging is not sufficient for common carrier (Postal Service, UPS, etc.) The fixture comes in its original box (as you would expect to pick it up in a store), without any additional outer packaging. I have ordered two, and the packaging on both arrived fairly torn up. That being said - both fixtures did arrive undamaged. There are styrofoam inserts between the tubes and the fixtures are very well made. I am happy with my purchase.
