USPS Strikes AGAIN!!

The box doesn't look overly damaged, that is on the packer.
I've worked in multiple bulk mail centers, as well as fed ex and UPS. The fact that most of the packages get where they are going without being crushed to dust never ceases to amaze me. It is not a gentle process and anything of value needs to be packed with that in mind.

I'll agree on the packing comment.

Having been the victim of how the package movement system operates, depending on how many times that box was moved from one container to another across multiple modes of transportation and distribution centers....it's tough.

Immobilizing the part inside the box is the only way to increase the likelihood of things like that occurring. I hate getting a relatively fragile part in a too-big box accompanied by a single piece of brown paper. Recipe for disaster.

EDIT TO ADD

I'm wondering how Priority Mail and the "need for speed" actually increases the pummeling of the package through the system?? Any thoughts @gzig5 ?
