I had a jackass ship me heils some 12 years ago or so, off ebay, back when it wasn't such a joke. This clown shipped them in USPS small flat rate boxes. Yeah- they looked like the pictures when they arrived. This person then took a very long time refunding me, and left ME negative feedback.
Using these you'd want to fabricate some very durable brackets for alignment, as the gap being focused the way it is, they need a solid frame to hold the same-polarity pole pieces together.
There's no saving those phragms but you can get new kapton/al phragms from the OEM. They're still handmade but it's pretty precise process using jigs, I was able to see some made at the factory.

It's extremely rare I get anything packed as well as I pack it.
I've definitely gotten used to getting cheap, broken, bad products.
But there are some really cheap items (good deals sometimes) on ebay.
Sometimes, I think to myself: how did they even ship these to me at this price?
For example: brake rotors.
I once got front brake pads for $1.86 shipped on ebay. They were terrible
But I get good pads for like $16-18 shipped.
In my mind when I first get something it's a lot worse than it really is after a few days. But I'm super picky, that's why I try to build my own stuff, right?
I don't think they fit in small flat rate box, maybe medium?
Shipping mishap.
They go back together.
Need ribbons, which are expensive.
Just offer any amount if you want them, I have no idea what to ask for them.
If you can get the ribbons cheap it might be worth it.
Maybe some one makes similar ribbons in large quantities

These are not easy to ship. I had another pair sent to me, guy made a shipping crate, did a great job... but left a plastic baggie with the screws in the crate. Needless to say, the magnetic gaps figured out how to snag them and ruin the diaphragms. Do NOT leave screws or any loose metal anywhere near great heils.
