I had a vendor ship me a hard screen protector for a phone in a plastic bag envelope. It arrive shattered because it had zero stiff packing around it.

UPS in my area offers the service of adding ventilation holes to any packages that I receive. Once, the product even fell out, and I received an empty mailing tube. Good times.

  do they add ventilation holes after asking you, though?

    No, it’s standard procedure.

  UPS excels in making square packages round, and round packages square.

  sometimes it’s not even ups’s fault.
  
  we once received a plain sheet of packing paper, about twice the size of an a4/letter sheet, with a shipping label affixed to it.

  UPS or the UPS store? Also there are some morons that do not know how to pack a box, like some Amazon employees or other shippers. There are also some that do not care if their product even makes it to the destination. I saw someone horribly seran wrap a tote box, those 12 parcels were held together by dreams.

    I started buying 50 lb. bags of bread flour from Amazon during COVID. One of the bags was reported as delivered although it never showed up at my house. I went through the claim process and eventually got a new bag for free. Two fucking years later the original bag showed up at my house, with packing tape crudely placed over a couple of large holes. The flour was filled with mouse turds. I wonder what godforsaken corner of an Amazon warehouse that thing was sitting in for so long.
