Hi Mr DJ,
I believe the packing is the same, but to their major resellers, they might go by bulk shipment, so they are more intact and less chance to get thrown around. Ours were shipped out individually as they roll out from Fly Eagle so ours are more prone to damages. If their boxes can't survive the parcel shipment within China, I suspect that they will ever survive the journey from West to East coast. I hope their resellers will repack these planes again before shipping them out to their customers.
I hope you live in California so you can go to our warehouse at Long Beach picking out your plane fresh off boat. The only damage you get is a seasick

pilot.
Mike
