In good bike packaging, there is a plastic clip or cardboard cutout that. Like the black circular thing just coming out of the box here, http://blockbikespdx.co

But I have seen a couple bent dropouts in bikes received from manufacturer. Dunno if shipping handling was the reason, I'd just fix it and move on. Probably our shipping-related failures were way below industry normal though, as our shop was <100 km from port (where things still travel in container units), and the distributor/importer handled the shipping to us themselves.
