Was very badly packed, not really, tied with plastic straps. The plastic parts not protected. Unfortunately, lay in the middle of a side panel with flap on which a fairly large portion of the door was already broken out. You could at acceptance of the delivery not see. Since the supply was so tied up and lay the side panel in the center of the delivery, it was impossible that it could have happened during transport. Unfortunately remains to assume that you have given me an already broken composter. Too bad, very stale aftertaste. I buy does not guarantee again.
