How well does the unit come packaged? is it well protected? if I buy it , it's going to travel overseas so i need to be sure it won't come broken

The Pioneer arrived fully wrapped in plastic 'bubble wrap' so it was secure inside the shipping carton. It does not come inside any sort of 'retail' packing (cardboard box) as this particular unit is more like an OEM model. It is a very high quality, well-reviewed unit.

Average packaging but it's a solid unit. I have had optical drives shipped from Asia to the US without issue but you never know how a handler might treat a package.

It came in a box: about 9x8x4, with 2 styrofoam inserts. IMHO very well packaged. BTY, I am very pleased with it's performance.

It was packaged well. The burner comes in its product box with foam padding which is then packaged in a shipping box with the air pouches.

Did yours break or are you just curious? I'm going to be putting one in my new house so that is a good question. I don't live in the house that I put this in anymore but it seems like it's a "sealed" design. If you can't find parts on amazon then probably not.

Mine arrived in new condition. I use it about once a week and have had it for a few months now. It has not had any problems.

Only you can answer that. How hard are you going to be on it? Who is going to be using it? Where is it going to live? We have had ours for a month now and it is beautiful and sounds great. I did not purchase a protection plan.

I did have not bought this model, but in general, when I have received large items like TVs, they ship in the product box, i.e. there is no extra outer box added by the shipper. This is true of an LCD TV I bought from Amazon last year, as well as other items (monitors and stereo equipment) I have received from other online shippers. The packaging should be fine for protecting the TV. However, if you had concerns because of the seal being broken or other damage to the package, that might be more reason for concern, but assuming it was not tampered-with (because of your comment about the seal), the TV should have been fine.

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.

Mine was not damaged, it is very sturdy and it serves me very well. either fix it or return it.

Don't be. It's in a seperate box and packaged very well with wrap around it.. It won't be damaged while shipping. It's a great product!

As far as I can remember, the unit came intact. I believe that I took it out of the box, and used it. Mary Catherine

I'd trust it with mine, but mine's replaceable and I don't care if it gets dinged up. I would bring it on to be like "Yes, I can be sure of having this monitor with me at my destination," but not necessarily expect the monitor to survive fifteen or twenty trips like that without developing some kind of problem.

I would order from amazon or a prime reseller to be on the safe side. I got mine 6 months ago and at that time they shipped with no additional protection. I had to return the first one.

I had read that in the reviews. Luckily mine arrived perfect and so far I have had no issues with it. I have had it about 2 months.

I'd definitely recommend people NOT to by it oversea since mine has broken for 2 times within 4 months. It did not worth for the cost/time/efforts.

I just received mine monitor today. The cover is a foam-type black sleeve. Definitely more than just a dust sleeve. It's not a hard case, but it should be plenty to keep the screen from getting scratched in a carry on. It should also be ok in a suitcase if it's tucked between clothes. The cover isn't heavy-duty, but it's better than I expected and it's a good start until I find something else (if ever).

I feel it is fairly safe, the quality of the product should be accurate to the description. You're paying what you think the item is worth. Some people have the ability to repair these devices so partially damaged items may be for sale. Just be thorough and take your time to read all the information about the product and you should be ok. :)

no, our unit did have a damaged box from the UPS shipping, but luckily whatever it was that damaged the box never made it deep enough to damage the AC unit. I have a problem with stuff being damaged from shipping all the time. It is part of ordering stuff online.
