Will this get damaged during shipping? It seems kind of fragile when it comes to being dropped and thrown by shippers because it is a hollow drum.

Christopher, We received the package undamaged. It was packed very well with lots of padding.

It was packaged very well and in perfect shape, its not as fragile as it looks by any means. Remember it's made to be sat on a hit with your hands.

I have no idea what your outcome will be, but my Meini Percussion arrived just fine. It was well packed and protected and there was no damage to the box. I have had several other items (not from Amazon) that were badly damaged in transit but, fortunately, nothing from Amazon has ever been damaged, even delicate crystal. I hope this helps.

The bass was packaged in the Epiphone box with bubble wrap and then inside another box. When I received my bass, there was absolutely no damage. Of course there is always the possibility of something heavy being thrown on top of it and causing damage, but in my opinion, the way it is packaged minimizes the chances of there being any damage to the guitar.

The hex bar was not wrapped in cardboard inside the shipping cardboard box. There were little pieces on the ends of the bars but they looked like they got dislodged during shipping. Both ends of the bar had punched holes in the shipping box. Even then, there were only some minor scratches on the very end of the weight plate sections of the bar. That's the condition the box was in when I got it. I'm still really happy with the bar. I hope that answers your question. Let me know if you have any others

It was shipped rolled on a hard cardboard roll to me. You may want to transfer it to something more sturdy when you get it.

Wooooow. Sorry to hear that. Mine is still holding up well and it was purchased w/a deep discount because it was slightly damaged. Good luck in your quest for answers.

We bought this for a gift in dec. 2012. At that time it was boxed in a carton.?once we opened it the entire unit was bound with heavy duty plastic strips. I don't think the item would get damaged, but I would try calling the company since this was my experience a year ago. Good luck!

There's always a chance I guess, but it's securely held in a thick, sturdy Epiphone cardboard box fitted to the particular model. I have had two Epiphone bass guitars shipped in similar packaging (one internationally) and both were in perfect condition on arrival.

Hi Mary: I would not recommend shipping fragile items in this bag. What you can do is reuse a box and place the fragile items in the box and then put the box in the bag, other than that I would highly caution against.... Or at minimum purchase insurance. HTH

Same here. I've experienced this twice. The 1st time my parents bought one. It arrived broken and was replaced with a 2nd that arrived intact. I order one again just a few months ago same thing. First one broke in transit. Second arrived fine. Seems the shippers need to break one before they take its transport seriously.

My saxophone came shipped by UPS service. The box it came in was the original Mendini box or carton. The saxophone I received was shipped with no problem from KK Music Store. They stipulate if there is a problem of breakage to report it in 24 hours. The saxophone will probably be sent UPS or FED EX as I don`t think the US mail will handle something as big as that. As to your question, will it break ? I guess that depends on how rough they handle it in shipping. Make a claim right away if it does come damaged or broken.

Please make sure the merchant will send it in rugged and double boxed cartons, otherwise the glass top will break during transportation since the glass is very heavy and long. Mine shattered in thousand pieces and lots of headache to get my my back which took several months.

It is protected in the box with really tough cardboard. This should protect it from pretty much any shipping impact

It's hollow, they're pretty much always hollow. It is a thick-gauge steel though, so no worries, it should handle a reasonable weight...

We'll I haven't 'tested' it yet:). Like I said in my review it will be good against light wear and tear. Small drops like off a table would probably be ok. Tossing it out of a moving vehicle, not so much.

I have had mine for a while its been deployed with me several times and been thrown in my Ruck sack and dropped and kicked around and never had an issue. So unless you try to break it you should be ok

I would say it's as fragile as an indoor bowl. I have bumped it accidentally with the water wand, and not broken it (thankfully) but I put it in a protected area from wind, kids and pets!
