Your package was most likely shipped in a postal bag, with a 70lb weight limit, that contained about 20 other packages. It then went through a sort process using hydraulic arms to “push” them off a moving belt. Small packages are usually damaged during this process of the parcel sort, or 30 or 40 postal bags get piled in on top during the process. It all comes down to percentages. It’s amazing more packages are not damaged.
