The seller part of my post was about sending replacements for mentioned dead players without having proof the one you sent is actually dead, wouldn't you want it back to make a claim at the postal service, or to have proof that the buyer is true?
This because you wrote:
"I'm NOT paying to ship this thing back to China, especially as I paid extra for the shipping insurance and it's busted because of their faulty packing."

If I was ridiculous in saying sending devices this way is normal, arrival of cracked/damaged players/boxes would be a common practice, which it isn't. The postal service is to blame here. And the player is not just in a plain manila envelope, it is in a box inside a brown paper bag. You make it sound like the lot was just shoved in an envelope and shipped like that.
Just giving my opinion here against yours for future buyers. The 4 Glaciers I received from UXcell (sent to The Netherlands) didn't have a scratch on the boxes or a tear in the bags.
