Safe to ship a sewing machine in original packaging?
I'm considering the purchase of a used BabyLock Jewel. The owner has the original packaging. Pick up is not an option....I live in Wisconsin, and the machine is in Georgia. Would you have it sent in the mail and take the chance of damage occurring during shipment? I've heard many stories on the board from members receiving damaged machines due to rough handling during shipment, but how many of those were in original packaging? I'd love to hear the good and bad experiences you all have had so I can weigh the risk. Thanks.
