Here is the masterful drawing I made of a postal worker throwing an 80 pound box on top of a 4 oz bubble mailer that's lodged in the bin. Blue line is your item.

Thank you for the masterful artwork, I appreciate it. My first thought was exactly what your image showed. But, the fact that the cardboard around the bubble wrap was intact/undamaged made me wonder. Either way, I will await the USPS's response to my damage claim.
