Yes @doyle they're nearly there.
Crate in wood.
All manufacturers' packaging of heavy hardware and nicely finished speakers should be wooden crates.
The packaging for my 220lb Martin-Logan CLX Anniverseries was cardboard. Disintegrated on the second transit. I have just sent them in for servicing and they had to be manhandled naked up narrow stairs by thee men. (the speakers naked, not the men). Risk is so nerve-wracking, at age 72 I had to be hands on with the other two. Shame on you Martin-Logan.
The packaging on my 200+lb Krell KRS200s from the late 1980s was two huge heavy wooden crates with pallet lifting sleepers under. Bombproof. Still have them. Excellent Krell
Lessons to be learned for some manufacturers.
