An expression with the meaning of "don't care" and "do not make a ceremony of"
I wanted to explain to a seller on online auction to pack the item with care because it can be damaged in transit. I looked for the right expression to say that our postal workers sometimes don't care much about packages (at least here in Russia).
In my native language, which is Russian, we use expression like "ne tseremonitsya" (не церемониться). Which is "do not make a ceremony of smth".
The online dictionary gave me examples like:
- make no bones of...
- handle without gloves
- deal shortly
- pull no punches
- didn't mince matters with ...
Could you please assist me in finding a good expression?
You can tell the shipper the item must be carefully packed because you expect the package to undergo rough handling while in transit, or expect that it might be mishandled, mistreated, or thrown about.
Here are dozens upon dozens of synonyms for careless at babylon.com, but I have to say that unless OP specifically wants a slang/idiomatic usage, careless probably fits the bill.
The idiom I'd go for is ham-fisted - lacking physical movement skills, especially with the hands.
