The last time I ordered a new guitar sight unseen. I had our local music store order it with a small deposit. That way I could inspect it for damage before accepting it. Any damage would be the stores problem.

Sorry for your bad luck!
Concerning the shipping game:
I‘ve made good experiences with two packages: pack the guitar the professional way safe in it’s case (unstrung, bridge removed, no movement in the case and so on) in one guitar box with no movement possible and pack this box in another, bigger box with bubble wrap foil in every possible gap. You can also use styrofoam all around the first box.
More expensive but a lot safer than just one box.
