I have seen WAY worse. Much, much worse. But yes, I think subs should be completely put inside of at least a 2 piece Styrofoam shell or something, that contours to the sub so it can't gain momentum inside of the box, dampens the forces. These delivery drivers, some, seem to live lives of hell, where you can never deliver enough packages, always more to go. They get in a rush and are sort of abused, IMO, so they get to throwing stuff around and hating life. You gotta protect these subs in shipping. Idk, I guess they do math and figure it's cheaper to risk subs breaking in shipping, instead of doing more hardcore packaging.
