I wonder what it looked like before it left.. I once shipped a couple heavy things (~20 lbs each), and I packed them very carefully... large box, 3-4" of packing popcorn between the items and all the way around the items. Everything was packed tightly, and nothing could move at all. Lots of tape, there was no way it could come open.. I was quite satisfied that it would make it unharmed. But someone or something at UPS ripped an entire corner off the box, and all the popcorn leaked out! Then they tossed the box around enough that one of the heavy items beat the crap out of the other. Moral of the story: never underestimate UPS... and if you really care, pack it in a wooden crate.
