To a certain degree a damaged package is the delivery people's fault, I agree.

But there's also the people who don't pack the orders correctly so the packages don't even withstand standard handling just so they can save packaging material..

I once ordered two mugs from Etsy. It was literally two mugs in a cardboard box. No bubble wrap, no nothing. Arrived in about 8 pieces.

Maybe you just missed the part in the description of the mugs that says "some assembly required." 🤷🏻‍♂️
