Opinions please.

I have just bought a helmet online and it is exactly what I wanted and fits perfectly.

I am thinking of returning it because I am slightly worried for 2 reasons.

1. There is a tiny 10mm scratch on it - implying it has been handled clumsily. I am not so bothered about this as there is no way the scratch itself is any indication of damage likely to be dangerous.

2. The helmet arrived at mine inside its own flimsy bag, indside its own flimsy box inside another perfectly fitting slightly less flimsy box - eg no foam or impact protection at all.

How do they normally post helmets? Should I be worried? There is no sign whatsoever of damage to the helmet (apart from the scratch - no way caused while the helmet was in the box), would there be?

Any opinions greatly received.

Thanks

PS - has anyone bought a helmet mail order? If so, how was it packaged?
