They ship 4 stroke Mercs "wet". Mine came in with everything ready to
go but the gasoline. I am not sure how they keep truckers from storing

Label "this way up" ? :-)

Exactly. And this can be "enforced" by means of cheap sand-based
indicators which can be affixed to the box, from which you can tell
whether the box has been other than the right way up. If it has,
you refuse to accept delivery and the carrier gets sued by the sender.
