That was the only thing in that box. The other parts and oil were in a separate box so as not to damage the gasket.

So if you want an OEM gasket that will arrive unmolested, now you know where to go.
Here's another reference point. I bought an OE gasket from ECS. It was laid on a piece of cardboard, shrinkwrapped. Then placed into a box the size of yours with some bubble wrap placed between the gasket and the top of the box. I didn't order anything else other than the 15 seal washers so I don't know if they would've packed other items separately.
