Damaged rotor housings in shipping. Would you reuse them?

i have a match set of low mile rotors i am cleaning up, the other buyer didn't want to pay my asking price though at $600+shipping.
sometimes it is not your fault though, no matter how hard you try to package the parts. i had one set of rotors get lost after 2500 miles of travelling, then 2500 miles back to me, dumped off with USPS from fedex as the shipping label was destroyed, so who knows how many hands they passed through. but that was a bit of an exception since the rotors were missing for almost 2 months. the shipping carriers mishandle packages and there is nothing you can do short of using a bombproof case and building a wood frame for the rotors. though the rotors i got back were still repairable, those are too far gone.
packaging should be able to handle a 5 foot drop test, because it's highly likely any one of USPS/UPS/Fedex it will be dropped at least one time.
pretty lame that all these lazy ******** are making all of us who sell there look bad, out of about 3000 sales the rotors were the only exception, and only because they got lost less than 50 miles from their destination. but i filed a claim with fedex and they paid me the $100 minimum insurance, which paid for my time repairing the rotors that i resent back to the customer that made it fine the second time.
