I don't think it would be the delivery guy who actually delivers to our office (I have them shipped to my work), but that's not to say it couldn't be someone else along the way. None of the exterior of the packages appear to be damaged though...hmmm. Perhaps I just have had bad luck with them?
I think this is a pretty isolated incident. Sorry bro....

It seems like a lot of people have had problems with broken clips on the intakes, and not just from ECS. Faulkner BMW was the other vendor I have read about with the clip issues. I can't imagine sending something not packed in a box though.
Were the grilles BMW Performance or aftermarket? I have a pair of flat black aftermarket ones that I didn't care for the looks of so I ordered a set of the BMW gloss black ones and the quality of the parts were so much better from BMW....of course, they are twice the price too.
I ordered a set of rotors with no problems from them, they did come in the BMW box, although I would have liked them to be double-boxed. In terms of the grilles breaking, are you doing this in the cold? Cold plastic is much easier to break than 'normal-temperature' plastic (70f).

I just ordered from ECS for the high performance rotor deal. The delivery guy dropped them on the doorstep (people in the house hear a mighty clang) but a visual inspection showed everything is fine. They were individually wrapped and boxed.
I have had bad experiences with other after market dealers. Caveat Emptor. Especially with internet companies - modern day mail-order but worse.
