Default Hobby King - someone in a bad mood?

Someone at the Hobby King USA warehouse must've been in a really sour mood when they packed up my Rare Bear. One was packaged just fine, but the 2nd looks like it was packed by a 1st grader.

There were five LiPo batteries in the cobbled mess, only one of which
was in its original box. The rest of the LiPo batteries were removed
from their boxes which were then strewn throughout to cover the foam
model. The entire mess was taped together with half a roll of packing
tape! It took my son and me a good 15 minutes to carefully cut away the
tape. The loose batteries were taped into one jumbled mess in one
corner of the box, some in bubble wrap, some not.

Fortunately, nothing was damaged!
