Narrative:

Upon receiving a large grab box from contract company in ZZZ; it was noticed hazardous material on the top class 9 lithium batteries was mixed in with other aircraft parts - proper paperwork was missing - only the original shipping paperwork was attached from ZZZ1. There was an unboxed rotate-able part XXXXX36 on the bottom of the box - parts on top were just thrown in disarray. Cause: proper procedure for shipping hazmat was not followed. Air carrier X requires all rotate-able to be shipped in proper shipping containers or shipped in boxes that will give the part the most protection. Suggestions: not knowing if this contract station has trained personnel - a field trip should have been sent to contract company to at least oversee if not accomplish these tasks.
