Great book, poor shipping technique

I love the idea of this series but, saddened that so often this book style arrives torn. I don't know if it is the style by which Amazon stores them or the shipping technique (mine arrived in a huge box with only one small piece of puff plastic) but, they usually arrive damaged. Either the corners are smashed or the decorative pieces of paper are damaged on the cover because, they are loose so easily can become damaged when being banged around in a huge box without any protection. Amazon will often ship books in thick envelopes, either padded or just very very tight envelopes around the book and those books never arrive damaged. I'm assuming the thickness of this style makes it impossible. I ended up ordering 3 and returning them because, they all arrived smashed up. Sadly, had to resort to going up to my local book store and hand selecting one myself. Besides that the book itself is incredible. It keeps my toddlers' attention. With lots of manipulatives, they are in book heaven.
