    UPS has a great packing program and will put anything inside a box with more styro and air bag pkging.... they also have an inexpensive insurance program... i have had many knitting machines sent to me by them and all have been great...

    I bought a Janome 1600p recently, not on eBay but on the net. It came in the originial box, with the original syro, and was perfect.

    I don't know about the warranties transferring, so here is their policy from the website

    Mine was purchased at a quilt shop (retailer)that has since gone out of business. The machine was 15 (I am thinking maybe even 17 months) old as a demo model, and I received the full 25 year warranty. As far as UPS packing program, we have used both the UPS depot to mail packages, and the UPS Packaging Stores. They do a great job at the stores packing and shipping and insurance, but when you don't package it yourself, the expense is really up there. Locally anyway. We shipped 8 boxes of dishes and odds and ends across 4 states and the bill was $1300+. Ouch. They also shipped a box inside of a box. Again, they did a great job packaging it up and getting it to our friends within a week with no problems.
