Dear CJ,
A couple of questions.
Did you see photographs before it was sent? It has been known that sellers pack an already damaged item inadequately to move the responsibility over to the postal authorities. Even if there was a photo, it would be wise to check that it is the shutter you have received - a used item will always have some unique marks.
Wrapping items together is just asking for postal damage. Were the shutter leaves withdrawn into the body - this is the only way to ensure no damage in the post?
As far as repair, this should be practical as the shutter uses fairly simple and large items inside. Damage to the leaves would probably require replacement of these.
