I'm a courier with DHL, and I've got to say that 90% of the parcels I deliver are well packed. Arcam do seem to pack their CD players on a budget though...
However, today I got one which was really exception. No packaging whatsoever. It's a car subwoofer and tube, which was shipped without any packaging, and not even a grille over the driver. The port and end cap were just loosely thrown inside the tube - I'm actually amazed they didn't fall out somewhere on the way.
The driver's cone must have been hit at some point as the dust cap is punched in. And the address label was taped and glued to the carpet side. Easily the worst example of packing I have seen!
Needless to say, the customer didn't accept it due to the damage.
