Some people cant pack an item to save their lives. I had somebody send me a
zip drive and he packed it in a larger box with no packing and the thing
just bounced around all the way from california to ohio. Of cousre the
plastic bezel broke ( I glued it, unit works fine).
Fortunatly all the computer system I had sent to me were overpacked and
nothing ever got messed up.

Have you every tried questioning here "credentials" as to knowing proper
packaging techniques? I've never had a problem with USPS, UPS, or FedEx.
But I am also accused of packaging to survive a nuclear explosion :).
