really all they had to do was strap some boards to the outside of the head and stick that in a box - it's not rocket science!

I built a wood crate when I shipped an S52 crank to Florida. It was heavy, but I knew that it wasn't going to be a problem. Can't just stick something like that in a box and hope for the best...

edit: good news, they apologized for the error and are refunding my money - apparently they have a new guy in shipping (whatever). I don't have to ship the head back (there's no point, the cost of shipping is probably more than the head is worth now). I'm going to look at fixing it if the damage is not too bad - mainly worried about the valve guides. Maybe I can glue the plug back on the eccentric shaft sensor and have another spare..
