If the packing was substandard, I’d expect the shop that was paid to pack the bike to pony up and pay the cost of having the frame repaired and repainted, or replaced. That may be something that the seller would have to take up with the shop. I’d talk to the seller, have him talk to the shop, and try to handle things amiably. If the seller doesn’t want to make the effort, I’d send the bike back and let the seller deal with it. Hopefully you paid in a way that allows you recourse. If the fault was with Bikeflights, that’s something else. I’d be shocked if Bikeflights doesn’t tell you that the packing was the issue and it is faultless.
