Both sides in this dispute need their heads banging together, management and unions.
Sorry to hear of your trouble, is the damage repairable?

it is repairable but sill not happy that I have got to fix it I have emailed the seller it was insured up to £39.00 I do not want to send it back see what the seller can sort out.
That's two items they have damaged in 3 months

That looks really nice - what's the make/lineage?
You don't say what the packing was like. In my experience it's either very good, like trying to break into Fort Knox, or so bad it's a miracle the content's survived. I've also had the situation where I strongly suspect the seller of 'covering up' previous undeclared damage by blaming the post. It's impossible to know, and always a risk.
I'm sure you'll be able to fix it - chin up!
