There were videos of ups/fedex/usps workers throwing boxes, so i guess those people didn't package something correctly too if it got broken. You're paying for a service, you need to get the service you paid for. i'm sure he didn't check a box that says "please throw/bend this package.
When i ordered my exhaust and intake from stillen, once it arrived i had to sign that the boxes weren't damaged.

Here is why I blame the shipper.
Would any of you ship a sheet of glass half way across the country wrapped in cardboard with a fragile sticker on it and expect it to make it undamaged?
Would any of you ship a wine glass wrapped in paper with a sticker on it and expect it to make it?
If it is fragile and you know it, you pack it like it is fragile, so they can't break it.
If it will bend and you know it, you pack it so it can't be bent.
It is thin sheet metal not plate steel it is gonna bend. Hell I could bend the corner by dropping it from 2 feet high. I could bend it by dropping a 20lb box on it in the middle. It could have got caught on a conveyor.
Because of the fact that workers throw boxes around, you as a shipper should never trust them to care for your product.
Shippers fault I stand by it.
