The doors were packaged expertly, sealed in shrink wrap, and placed in a strong cardboard package bordered on all four sides with 1" plastic foam. We ordered 7 doors in total. They arrived earlier than expected via a truck line, all doors were laid on a pallet. The firm that handled the freight, arrived on-time, and upon arrival at our home delivered the pallet to our garage area. Now that I am in the process of staining the doors, and having inspected each door after removing the packaging, the doors were in absolute pristine state. We couldn't be happier with our choice to have ordered the doors via Wayfair versus a 'Box' store.
