They /used/ to do that but all the disks I've had in the past year are badly packed. Thankfully most of them have been inside a bigger box with other items so haven't had too much of a chance to be bashed about OTOH I've bought 3 disks from amazon in the past year and they have packed them in jiffy bags, then a small box and then stuck them to a bit of card with plastic wrap and then put that inside a bigger box :)
Just this morning I have received a 2.5" SATA drive from Ebuyer, in an anti static bag and double boxed (the inner one being the proper drive box style with the 3 bits of foam)
Although I do find with ebuyer that quality of packing and reliability of actually getting it next day depends on which warehouse it is coming from (the coloured dots in the checkout) Warehouse 1 consistently seems to be the quickest to dispatch and the best packed.
