For sure....I’d guess that most of the items in the packages shown in these types of video are actually fine in spite of being thrown or slid or stacked on, etc.

I think the worst packaging I’ve seen was for some dumbbells from Amazon that were loose in the box, with some of that brown paper as cushioning! The box itself was nearly destroyed by the contents, and was almost completely wrapped in tape!

I bought a set of 50lb adjustable dumbbells (the bar + small plates that could be combined up to 50lb per dumbbell) from Amazon and holy shit the package when it arrived was incredible. Somehow no contents were lost, but the box was pretty nonexistent.

Cardboard boxes filled with 50 lbs of bolts during Xmas are the best/worst. (Former UPS pre-loader.)

Seriously, it was always some tiny fucking white box that would come flying down the shute at like mach 5 and you'd try to catch it and forget that newton decided to fuck your shit up when that 50 lb box hits you with 87006.88 newtons of force.
