I have for years received packages regularly that have

UPS, and this is the only one that's had any sort of damage. Usually the
packages are small, but not always.
The point is, UPS publishes packaging guidelines. Use them and be happy.
I once had shipped by UPS a 27" Trinitron monitor. It was heavy. It was
double boxed, with 8" of noncompressible spray-foam between the two boxes,
and another 3" of rigid foam between the inner box and the monitor itself.
The monitor was shattered. They must have dropped it from several feet up
in the air.
