I have used “if it fits , it ships” flat rate shipping for some heavy brake parts and u-bolt flip kits. These boxes were about 40-42lbs each and deceptive when your average person grabs one to pick it up.
I’ve also had boxes shipped to me in that same manor. The result are usually no different. More than half arrived with a hole large enough to put your hand in.
I have discovered 2” wide fiberglass tape has provided a very secure delivery and while the previously crisp square priority box my arrive squished and soft with rounded punched in corners, the tape provides a fantastic barrier against it getting pierced open. Worth the extra dollar or two to insure you are getting all the other small parts tossed into a box. Making a 3 strip grid in both directions makes it work a full 360* wrap
