I would not expect this of the Anaheim, Ca. office. I was able to
inspect their facilities, which at the time was custom crating what
appeared to be the contents of a hospital / radiology clinic, and there
was no indication that they would have done what you suggest with such
details as the type for the typesetter. They were arranging shipping
requirments for each item by using input from the customer as well as
the original manufacturer.
They also had good suggestions for the shipping of the equipment I had
them quote (Computer Automation equppment, both assembled and loose). I
will not hesitate to use them in the future at this office, but would
certainly take care to inspect a special operation before shipping for
items of the type you suggest (regardless of your comment, I would be
careful).
Agree with richard, though, it only takes one bad experience or bad
apple to spoil the barrel.

Thanks to past comments here, I recommended the

and Freighters to move a hot-press machine, and two units full of
drawers of type. Big mistake.
Which office?
Texas, I want to say San Antonio, but am not sure. I've not been
involved with the acquisition, shipping, or receiving other than
making the mistake of recommending C&F.
