Ordered this item twice from Amaz. (in the black 46" flavor), and both times it arrived damaged. This is a a very long, very thin fragile piece of metal and Amaz. is shipping it by sticking a label on the OEM carton and cutting it loose. That OEM packaging is simply a thin cardboard box that facilitates pallatizing - but couldn't possibly hold up as an individual shipping carton. When I put in for the replacement/second unit, I specifically asked for a more generous packing - and that request fell on deaf ears. I'm not entirely surprised; Amaz.'s software that 'manages' packaging for 'efficiency' seems to have a lot of glitches. Maybe Amaz. should try using human beings for such diverse judgment calls. Anyway, now that I have the Amaz credit, I am waiting to see if the unit in transit from SonyStyle is better packaged.The item itself, of course, is exactly what you'd expect it to be and it appears it will literally be a snap to install.
UPDATE: The grille arrived from SonyStyle today. Undamaged. What they are doing is shipping in the same OEM box BUT they are bolstering the four sides with two sturdy/strong L-shaped pieces of cardboard. They just use shipping tape to put them together and form a stronger, outside "box" around the original box. Then I just cut the tape to get them off ... and ta-da, there's the original box, in perfect condition without even the shipping labels or tape on it. Then I put the original silver grille back in the OEM box, taped the Ls back onto it ... and that was perfect for storing it in the garage. QED.
UPDATE: To be fair, just a few days after I posted this review, Amaz. added a "packaging feedback" area to this site. Smart move. They'll find the feedback will lead to a higher quality that reduces waste, saves money, removes the hassles of reworking shipments and reduces customer dissatisfaction.
