Exactly....the sender is responsible for packing the items sufficiently well to prevent damage under typical shipper handling.

I encounter this problem a lot when buying stuff on ebay, not many people know how to pack stuff. The most important thing is to not leave any empty space in the box, if the items are relatively heavy. Motors are heavy, the box needed to be filled with packing material, not air.
