WHY DOES IT MATTER how it gets to you if you agreed to pay $5.25 for delivery? Would you have been po'ed if the man happened to live across town from you and drove it over? Gas is not free either. So, once you agree before you bid to $5.25 shipping charges, I do not comprehend why, when you in fact DO RECEIVE the coin, why any of the details matter. If you do not like the level of protection the coin received, you can choose to not buy from the seller because you would be worried your coin might arrive broken, but in this case you were told it was $5.25, you paid $5.25, the coin arrived.
