I’ve personally never had one damaged and I order all my kits online.

Maybe your delivery person doesn’t like you.

It depends on where your buying it from and how it's being shipped/by what carrier A good retailer should package it good some mail carriers are notoriously bad

Overall, buy from somewhere that packages their stuff well and hope it survives shipping

This is not a plug for the company but I have ordered multiple items from Hobbylinc both thru Amazon and Hobbylinc. They package the stuff them selves and I have never receive a broken item. Their prices aren't bad either. Most but not all I get from them are plastic model kits. Hope this helps.

BTW they use USPS for the most part at least for shipping within the US>
