Following the comments, I added in my address "attention to small parts falling from the cardboard" and, miraculously, the carrier was vigilant. So not lost on the way ties in my case. As against several serious shocks recorded on the writable surface and on the edges (when the carton was in relative good condition). Nothing prevents the use, but the aesthetic (beautiful painting also) take one shot ... I made a complaint and got a small compensation. It seems difficult to travel that object type without breaking. To each to see if it is reasonable to order this item by mail, knowingly.
