How/ why on earth would anyone re-box this with the seat/ seatpost still inserted? They're usually fairly tight tolerance too, so even if the seatpost did slip, I seriously doubt it would damage the seat-tube at all.....unless some twonk did indeed sit on it while it wasn't torqued-up...
I suspect it was being posted in another box partially built, probably from an eBike which are almost the same size as some flats in London.
Send me a message if you genuinely want me to find out for you.
