When I send out clubs I will wrap the heads in bubble wrap & put a ton of newspaper around the shaft to cushion it. However if I am using a box from GG with the shaft support built into it, then I just toss the club in the box & off it goes. GG does the same thing & so far I haven't had any issues.
You are correct. As a professional mover, maybe an engineer is as qualified, maybe, as to packaging an item correctly as I am. That shaft was snapped before he sent it to you. The box would have been bent in half it happened during transit. It also would have to have been caught in a machine. That wouldn't even have snapped if they ran it over with a forklift.

Packaging was fine. Nothing you could possibly use on a steel shaft would be stronger than the steel shaft.
