Ive ordered twice from Vaporbreak, a RH Hercules a few months ago, which arrived safely (though slowly). And more recently one of the frosted Russian (
kayfun) clones which arrived a few weeks ago. Though both took about a month to show up, they did finally make it and with the goods intact.
I can see how their packing method could lead to something coming open during transit, also both boxes were quite mangled when they arrived.
I highly doubt theyre shipping empty boxes though.
