I don't care for that style of box - they almost always arrive bent, but so far I've been lucky and nothing broken inside. Cylinders are much better. A partial cure for long rectangular boxes is to insert some extra-thick strips of cardboard inside and to pack the peanuts in - I always mention this to sellers when purchasing pool cues, as some of them like to construct their own boxes by taping two flimsy rectangular ones together.
I also once received a bat from a major auction house that had the same type of box yours came in, bent the same way. AND it had minimal packing. If I ever win another bat from them, they will get my advance warning.
