They can both be damaged easily. My point is, If it can be damaged pack it so they can't damage it.
What is is maybe .050" thick sheet metal at most .063"
If it is aluminum forget it, it is asking to get bent in just cardboard.
Sheet metal is easily damaged, bent kinked folded, therefor pack it so it can not be damaged. I asked shipping here how they ship sheet metal through UPS. Less than .090" thick, they use 1/4" plywood or hard board on outside screwed together with 1x2 on the outside producing a picture frame. and sometimes if it is wide they run 1x2s down the length. parts received never are damaged "accidentally."
When i told them about how yours was packed they laughed and said, "UPS is a bunch of a holes of course it got trashed."
Remember UPS only ships, they don't get paid to care.
