What UPS told us back in the day, minimum 3 inches between the item and the outside of the box.
Sorry I hope you have better luck than I did.I have a set of Hi-Po 340 manifolds on the way. Just got shipped to me today, USPS. Having said that, not the thread you want to read. Fingers crossed.
Actually I’ve had good luck with insurance claims with both of them on claims. Take plenty of good pictures showing they were properly packaged. Stand your ground and don’t take no for a answer. Keep going up the chain of command when talking to them.In the last 60 days,thanks to UPS and USPS,2 heater boxes,speedo cluster bezel,and guage cluster.All destroyed beyond use and a 1000.00 gone.I'm not holding my breath on collecting insurance from either shipping company.And all were packaged very well.No fault of the shippers.
It was.Looked to be in great shape too.
You put "do not drop" etc on stuff and I think this is a challenge for "them."

When I ship I try to over pack, mark it heavy or fragile (if it makes any difference). I have horror stories from USPS, Fed Ex and UPS. Sent a beautiful dash pad USPS some timeLooked to be in great shape too.
