When I place an order, I assume that the item will be delivered intact, without any dents in packaging.  This was NOT the case here.  The item was shipped without any extra layer of packaging so, it will NOT be easily damaged in shipment.  I have kept a photo with the item as received in case I find it to misfunction in the future.  It is alarming to see how these items are delivered without care.  I will think twice when placing another order.  In most cases, the packaging is totally protected in a separate box from the box that contains the item.
