This shrinkwrap isn't much protection, it definitely has a little chip on the edge of the base (to left on top edge in photo #6) and while it could have others, I don't see any. I have already wrapped some foam around it so it doesn't get chipped in storage, and will make sure to pack it with extra care to prevent any damage in shipping!
