Very nice!
But I do wonder why companies send out packages like that. I once ordered a small front wing for a car and it arrived wrapped in cardboard and bubblewrap. It wouldn't be difficult to put it in a box full of those little white packaging things to prevent any damage. It doesn't cost any more to send.
By the way, my wing arrived bent, your pipe looks ok.

Funny you say that because when my girlfriend sent me the pic over this morning that is the first thing that came into my mind too, I am praying that it hasn't got dented at all, fingers crossed!But I do wonder why companies send out packages like that.

Depending on the carrier it might well cost more to send. Large, bulky but light items are often charged based on their size (ie volumetric weight) because they take up a lot of space in a vehicle that could otherwise have been used for denser objects.
