Next is preparing it for shipping. I plan on sending it back exactly the way I received it, same box and packing material. I'm going to video tape putting it in the box and sealing it closed. I will also include the email with photos that I sent him as proof (includes picture of serial number)...
I called my local post office and was told that I could insure it for the amount that I paid as long as I had a receipt.
