I've had good packaging on these from amazon. 2 drives, individual boxes with plastic suspension on each end. Inside the big box was paper to keep them in place.

If the drive is off, the heads are parked off the drive in a carrier. Banging it isn't going to create bad sectors.
Plastic ends are, in fact, what WD and Seagate recommend the drive be packaged in.
