The drop basket arrived with the cardboard shipping box undamaged. However, the portion of the unit that bolts to the ATV rack, shipped inside the drop basket and is held in place by two cable locks had one cable lock broken. As a result, the interior surfaces of the drop basket were badly scratched. Also, there was a significant amount of small sand-like particles inside the shipping box. It appeared as if a handful of factory floor sweepings ended up in the box. The unit needed some repainting before I installed it. I am mostly satisfied with the unit but disappointed in its condition upon arrival.
