Agree with that. My Grille Guard was a factory John Deere Part with JD stickers on the box.I am always much happier with excessive packaging over lack there of... I can not tell you how times we have received damaged item do to the lack of packing (either due to experience or lack of concern). We collect old oil / kerosene lamps & I can not tell you how many times we have received damaged / broken 100+ yrs items due to negligent packaging; even from experienced seller & shops. It has gotten so that we now require either a picture of the packaged items or for then to take the item to a professional Pack & Ship place... (Hard to replace 100yr + old items).
On a different note love cardboard, use it under vehicles, paint shields, gun & archery targets, templating... it's free & when I'm done usually still recyclable
There was no packing of any kind in the box.
If it had been a tight fit maybe that would make sense, but it was loose fitting the top bar was a bit marred up as well from rattling around. I always keep spare carboard as well for laying on concrete or outside. Also handy for mixing bondo or glue and making sheetmetal test patterns as well.
