Cautious about ordering a Pachislo online. Worried about shipping damages. HELP

[The Rube]

So I've been saving my nickels and dimes and I'm hoping to place an order for a Biohazard Pachislo Machine in a week. Right now there's only 2 online companies that carry it; bluehotaru.com and Akimono/custompachinko.com . This is the first time that I'll be ordering a Pachislo Machine via mail delivery (pickup up the other two that I own) and I would like to hear any good/bad comments about each company... mostly about shipping/packaging.

I just worry because in the past my brother has had problem with damages when ordering Pachinko machines (about 4 years ago, don't know the import company) and I just don't want to go through the same headache.
