The fact is that many simply do not know how to pack guns. Many methods are just plain laughable. Most issues with damage can be avoided by packing well with the proper materials.

The gun, on the insistance of UPS was repacked when it was shipped, it was double boxed, with layers of bubble wrap between each box. UPS insisted that it be packed right there in their presence.
What you are seeing, is the original Ruger box, which was inside another heavy shipping box, and had also been wrapped in bubble wrap.
The FFL where it was delivered to, was shocked that they had been able to break it, given how it was packaged.... He believed it was done intentionally, by placing against concrete wall, and back into with a forklift, or other heavy machinery...
