Amazon must have sorted out the shipping packaging since the last reviewers commented. I received my antenna in a large box with plenty of padding. The antenna wasn't bent. However, the dimensions of the antenna are wrong... It's much longer than 21 inches, and so I wasn't able to install the antenna on the roof of my truck. Hence I'm giving it 4 stars, rather than 5. I've installed it on my pickup, but at the front of the truck.

I recently ordered two of these antennas and have not yet had the opportunity to set them up on my CB radios for a test run. However, I did want to comment about the packaging for the products which I purchased from Amazon.com. The antennas arrived inside their original Mgf display packs which had been placed inside a narrow rectangular cardboard box with a strip of plastic air bags on either side for packing material. However, this did not prevent the cardboard box from collapsing & bending during shipping, which in turn bent the stainless steel antennas inside their packaging about 20+ degrees. I have spent the last couple of hours trying to straighten the antennas - the stainless steel material is not easy to straighten by hand, and I still am not done working with one of the antennas. It would have been nice if the packaging had been better (and/or the boxes marked as fragile) so this would not have happened. I am confident that these units will preform very well, but am not happy with the shipping - thus the 2 star rating.
