Just makes you wonder how some people think...or more to the point, don't think!!! Sooooo lucky it wasn't damaged further, top marks to the postal staff.
A few years ago I bought a Janome machine on eBay, asked the seller if they knew 'how' to package and was assured 'yes we do'. It arrived in a flimsy box (machine far too heavy for the box used) and of course the base was just about non-existent when delivered. I opened it in front of the delivery man so I had confirmation of it's condition only to discover the machine had 'everything' taped to the body of the machine with that horrible, brown packing tape that must have been a million years old and was really, really, gooey and tacky.
It took more than a week to get the machine, power cable and attachments cleaned not to mention almost a whole bottle of turps. I took heaps of photos and told the seller I wasn't happy and all she could say was 'hubby told me to do it that way'. To which I replied 'hubby isn't always right!!'
