A man in southern China saw no issue sending a 6.8 million yuan ($985,retro cinema erotice blonde000) antique bronze pot by express delivery across the country.
The man, surnamed Tan, from Hunan was shipping the family heirloom to a buyer in Shenzhen, and decided to pack the fragile item in some bubble wrap, and send it on its way in a cardboard box.

But despite the value of the item, the courier company said it's only going to compensate Tan 30,000 yuan ($4,300) by an insurance payout.
A lawyer speaking to the Southern Metropolis Dailyconfirmed that the courier service is only obligated to provide compensation up to the insured amount.

Netizens on Weibo weren't sympathetic to the seller, however.
"Why didn't you personally deliver the pot?" asked one.
"I'm speechless. You sent such a priceless thing by express delivery? This isn't Taobao," said another.
Some blamed the courier service.
"How do you manage to smash something made of bronze? It isn't porcelain!"
"Couriers break everything I buy online," said one.
