The replacement compressor came and I was impressed. They had put the compressor in a box that was the right size and then put that into a box with about 2" all round, held in place with expanded polystyrene. Plus the nice people at SIP sent me another 5 piece extras kit, if they had phoned me to arrange a day when to pick up the broken comp. i was going to ask if I should also send back the Extras kit, but they didn't and neither did I, so unless they come for it, it's mine.
