Jim:

Did you and Ting send your cameras in their original boxes, or packed some
other way.  If they were in their original Leica box, the packing in that
is probably sufficient.  If they were just bare bodies, I would be a little
pissed with Leica unless that is the same way you shipped it to them.  I
have found the packaging computer hard drives come with fits a M camera
fine.  I used this for shipping an M3. 

Regards,

Robert
