I once ordered two mugs from Etsy. It was literally two mugs in a cardboard box. No bubble wrap, no nothing. Arrived in about 8 pieces.

To a certain degree a damaged package is the delivery people’s fault, I agree.
But there’s also the people who don’t pack the orders correctly so the packages don’t even withstand standard handling just so they can save packaging material…

Maybe you just missed the part in the description of the mugs that says “some assembly required.” 🤷🏻♂️

I’m a carrier for USPS, I have a guy on my route who often orders Volkswagen parts from all over Europe. One day he got a replacement subframe for one of his VW’s from Estonia and it arrived at our office pretty beat up. When he needed to sign for it he saw the condition and I told him that’s how we received it. The shipper sent it by just sticking the subframe in a box, no padding, no supports, just a cardboard box for a trip around the world. He obviously was upset and had another one sent as a replacement after filing a claim.
The replacement was packaged exactly the same, and luckily only slightly bent on arrival. The old one is still sitting in our office in limbo.
If you’re gonna ship something overseas or across town package that shit properly
