I will accept that I should have not expected the seller to know how to ship an item. But I have become complacent with the level of packaging and professionalism that alot of people have on this forum. So maybe it was wrong to expect this being carried out properly, but in my opinion it's also the duty of the seller to make sure the item arrives safely...
I no longer feel that the seller intentionally cheated me in selling me an already dented frame and defected other parts. But that doesn't mean I don't feel cheated and somewhat had.
Yet life goes on and we must move past these things

Sorry, but it's totally unreasonable to expect that every Tom, Dick and Harry selling on their used bikes know how to effectively package such a complex item. Sounds to me like @jesus_romario made an effort to get the bike to @Z4k in the same condition as advertised.
Maybe a little too much faith was put into the shipping company (easily done if you're not experienced). The seller should definitely take it up with them.
Buyers should understand the risks of buying second hand and accept that shit happens in transit. If you want a pro job, go to a pro. Plenty of businesses out there selling used bikes.
