I agree. It doesn't say anything either way about the craftsmanship of the kilt, but as far as I'm concerned something I order isn't mine until I take it from the package. When I do custom work(though it is of a different nature) I take the time to make sure it will arrive at the customer in the same condition--or as close to the same condition as possible--as it leaves my shop. My job isn't done until the UPS guy gives me the tracking number AND I pass that info on to the customer. If they don't take the time to prep it for shipping it makes me wonder when they think the job is done.

I'm pretty sure I don't like their explination. Just because McDonald's gets burgers frozen and in boxes doesn't mean you should get it cold with cardboard stuck to it.

Ultimately though, if you're happy with your product and it's well made, even if you had to touch it up a lot, that's the main thing.
