Had a CyberstormPPC arrive damaged through the post, however it wasn't the senders fault and very well packed.
Seems with some postal companies it wouldn't matter if the item was sent in a reinforced titanium box, they could still manage to destroy it's contents upon delivery
Reinforced Welded Titanium is about right!
Having worked one summer handling cargo for UPS I have personally witnessed -- even participated in -- the abuse of parcel shipments. Your best defense, frankly, is insurance. Aside from that, I recommend double -- even triple boxing sensitive cargo and, of course, anti-static bags for electronics! I can't emphasize enough the use of thick, sturdy boxes! Shipments are stacked right on top of one another --
in the order recieved. Bad news if your Picasso IV arrives right before someone's piano! Also, use a fast shipping service. The longer it is in the system, the greater chance it has of being abused. This all may seem obvious, but as this thread proves some people still need to learn.
