I've never really had a disaster with receiving stuff to be fair...
Although once I sent a computer to a friend of mine, fully wrapped in bubble wrap and padded with packing foam...
Somehow it arrived in a totally different box with no padding! I was stunned!
When I send out parcels I tend to wrap them in loads of anti-static bubble wrap. (A bit more expensive than normal bubble wrap, but it saves me having to find an anti-static bag...) and then put it in a box...
Occasionally on bigger items I do tend to be guilty of not packing them quite as well as I should.. Or if I don't have a box big enough I tend to just wrap it up and hope for the best! So hands up, I'm no saint with it...
