Ugh... That's no fun.
My Stud Gate Station arrived in its own corrugated box exactly like the ones
used for or
with the protection panels on the sides. I guess the smaller sets got shipped
haphazardly in those big generic boxes with only brown paper stuffing?

I complained to customer service when my Castle in the Forest arrived in similar
shape and they sent me some VIP points. Lego used to use lots of bubble cushions
in boxes and for some reason switched to throwing in a single piece of brown
paper...

When was this? I don't think I've ever received a package from Lego that
used bubble wrap or air cushions.

I have to say I've gotten plenty of sets from Amazon that were banged up
because they were shipped in a bag with no padding instead of a box. So this
lack of care is not unique to Lego (though you'd think they would care about
shipping their own product safely and securely).

Not bubble wrap, but so, so many air cushions. I saved them all and still haven't
run out years later.

I would be mad too if they printed the box picture upside down. That should
be a Lego problem, not a USPS problem.

Just slightly worse than when they put a 10 pound set in the same box as a few
GWPs, where they use the GWPs as bubble wrap.

Even though they OWN a big share of the aftermarket it's like they're
deliberately sabotaging resale value...

| When Lego doesn't use any bubble, some people are not happy. (Because it
hurts their boxes)
When Lego uses a lot of bubbles, some people are not happy. (For environmental
reasons)
When Lego uses some bubbles, some people will still complain. (For a combination
of the reasons above.)
So, at the end of the day, not using any bubble is the best option.

Tip for LEGO: Less air inside the sets and the boxes wouldn't crush so much.
Bricklink sellers have been selling fully packed lego bubble mailers and boxes
for a couple decades.

Yeah, well, the LEGO Group is not a BrickLink store.
Maybe TLG uses bigger boxes to make the sets look bigger? I'm sure they have
a valid reason for it. Not all sets are sold online.

Are BrickLink designer program orders fulfilled by LEGO Shop@Home? I was under
the impression that they had their own order procurement/fulfillment system.
Not that S@H is much better when it comes to packing; I've seen several complaints
about haphazard packing in the forum.

They were. I received mine from them like a day before I received other orders
from lego and all the packages were packed the same and tracking was the same
on the Lego website

I have two of my sets still sitting in their cardboard box that I'm too terrified
to really inspect (only just opened the box seal to peek if those were the ones).
Both in the regular LEGO shipment boxes (not the extra padded ones). The outside
boxes look ok though so I'm suspecting only minor bruising to the boxes which
I've grown accustomed to from LEGO over the last couple of years sadly, or
possibly even lucky and fully unharmed!
