Quoted from ToucanF16:That was some serious damage.
That was far from serious.
If it was that important then the machine should have been blanket and shrink wrapped accordingly. Strapped to a pallet and shrink wrapped some more.
This damage is considered acceptable in the day to day running of a shipping company.
The insurance is a smoke screen and they usually only cover a complete loss and that usually takes a 3 to 4 month battle to get it.
The plan is for you to give up and just go away and they will stonewall you until you move on with life.
