I think I can top that! I ordered a set of dishes from amazon.com ( they were new, not used) and they came in two boxes. the dishes were in the original box and then that box was placed in a much bigger one. there was a piece of something that had been crushed ( maybe for cushioning?) and it was in the corner. One of the boxes was mostly broken glass and the second box (in another box) was fairly good. I contacted the company and everything turned out alright, but honestly, haven't people ever heard of common sense????

In the warehouse they stack boxes twenty feet high and often times the stacks fall down. :shock: I couldn't believe some of the stories she told me! Sad!
As for all the problems Sears is having...I have to wonder if it has anything to do with their being bought out by K-Mart a couple years ago. I know K-Mart's quality is horrible and when they bought out Sears I remarked to hubby that it likely wouldn't be long before their quality dropped as well. Looks like it's headed in that direction.
