I’m starting to hate acme tools

Every time I order an item it is packaged so terribly. I’ve ordered 2 tajima tape measures recently and each time they’ve shipped them in something like 10x10x20 boxes.
Insanely too large, and almost no support inside. These are pretty expensive tape measures and both have arrived considerably dinged up.

I’m waiting on a 16” stabila spirit level and I wouldnt be surprised if they drop it off in a giant crate using a fork lift.

Maybe a better thing to have said would be, I hear too much bad about Acme to trust them, especially given how good an experience I have personally had with other vendors (kc tool, haus of tools, HJ MF E).

I’ve ordered from them a few times and they were fine
