 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. 
They probably did.  I was told by a friend who worked at the local depot
that they have a conveyer 4' off the ground that moves boxes at 30mph.
Stuff falls off every day.
