Please don't take this the wrong way, but it's really up to the shipper to make sure the package is packed in a way that it does not receive damage in transit. If this means passing the the cost on to the consumer so be it.

Personally, if I had an option to select additional packing at my expense at checkout even though Axiom told me that the package was fully insured, I would not pay for it.

I sell products on eBay that range from $50.00 to over $500.00 and do my own shipping as well. I could not see me asking a customer if they wanted to spend a little extra, just as a precaution to ensure that the product they are receiving will be safe. It's my full responsibility as a shipper
