You haven’t said who you’re actually buying from

You must not have actually read the post.

Parked state doesn’t mean much when the box the drive is in is launched 20ft during the shipping process.

And there he is, the douchebag shines through.

What you’ve purchased are OEM drives. They are shipped in big boxes with other drives, slotted into foam slots. Generally a good packer will bubble wrap the shit out of the bare drives when they ship them to you. Retail box drives aren’t shipped like this.
