Come on Rotax/ACS, this is just stupid!

I got my new fuel bowls from Spruce today.  What was immediately visible?  There were two little holes in both boxes.  Because they were put in sideways, with the float pins up against and poking through the cardboard!  Are the pins bent or stressed now, or the adhesive weakened by downward pressure into the pin hole?  Who knows...  The really stupid thing is I rotated the bowl 90° and it still fits in the box with no stress to the pins.

Not sure if this was Rotax or ACS that packed this way, but somebody needs to be taught how to pack parts.

Why did you need new bowls?

I didn't really, but since I had a problem with a bent pin and the new bowls solve potential issues with the pin holes being drilled all the way through (which has caused me a fuel leak) I decided to upgrade since they were just $79 each. 

Call it paranoia, but I have had two major fuel leaks related to the bowls and I really don't want an engine fire.
