Packaging is terrible. if the main plastic packaging is breached (e.g. small cuts), the screws inside will fall out. usually it is again packaged in a mega package surrounding the order you made at aliexpress, but again, it's got the same problem where wear/tear of the cheap plastic bags results in small cuts. eventually the screws make it outside.
