The box in the photo isn't really meant for UPS Joe to be handling. It really is the vendors problem.
Also, it shipped directly from Seibon. Liability is on the carrier. So from a purely $ perspective, Seibon has no incentive to ship hoods in, say, a fitted styrofoam box, like a goddamn vacuum cleaner, or in a crate, so long as they "reasonably" packaged the hood. So, like in all other things, we consumers end up suffering.

The only bright side to this is that I didnt take off my OEM hood in preparation for today.
