That looks more like a product of too much weight for the strength of the box to me. Just because that many traps fit in the box does not mean it is a good idea to put that many in it. Does not appear to be any cushioning material between the traps and the cardboard.
Blame it on rough handling if you want to but it sure looks more like a issue with the way it was packed to me.

Strapping tape would of helped a lot.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

I always keep a few used boxes. I'll cut them down to line the inside of the flat rate boxes I normally use when I ship something that's on the heavier side. Plus I like to use extra tape.

, I always go around the side of the box, AND line the inside with another layer of box since they are FREE at the PO

All I can say is wow. I just got a box of traps this week shipped to me from a t-man member, and he did an awesome job of literally wrapping the entire box in strapping tape. Everything arrived perfectly including the box. Well, at least you were not missing any when they arrived! Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.
