Just to jump in here,
there are standards for packaging items. Manufacturers such as Pentax tamron etc etc will no doubt be working to these standards, which include things such as drop testing, crush strength etc etc etc. Its something that companies generally put a lot of effort into, as the returns from insufficient packaging would outweigh the cost of the savings.
If you think about it, a big box full of tamron lenses would weigh a fair amount. these are packaged tight in a box with several of them in there, no foam or anything. Each tamron lens box has to be capable of withstanding a drop of that box with the weight of all the oher tamron lens on top of that, OR the big box they are all packaged in must be capable of withstanding the drop.
When B&H ship items yes they use the pouches or foam bits etc etc, but the only thing they are protecting is the lens box. It should already be strong enough to survive life in a carton and the weight of other lens's so therefore should be capable of withstanding its own weight.
B&H ship all over the world (to me in Australia included) i'm sure they get handled by some very rough couriers and yet packaging seems to be a non issue in most cases.. returns would be monitored for packaging issues and if relavent would be improved to save them, A) their incredible reputation, and B) money.
Apologies for the waffle... but you really dont seem willing to accept that the packaging is sufficent regardless of how anybody reassures you, but yet 6-8 months after receiving such a badly packaged item(s) you havent had them 'tested' or found any fault. With B&H service and returns service there is no reason to be worried in the slightest...
Its simple with the greatest of respect, if you dont like something, no matter how many people do... then it isnt for you so you need to try something else
