We had several of them arrive at the shop cracked in transit, and that was also with them in a cardboard box. We had to return them. If UPS can crack them with nothing in it and when it's in a cardboard box, I'd be VERY hesitant to ever fly with a $1200+ setup bow in one.......you know those airline guys are harder on stuff than UPS. We no longer carry them at the shop, had too many problems with them. It's a shame they crack so easily, because they do seem to be a decent case otherwise for the price.
