I wish one of these shippers would develop a glass-coke-bottle style
business model. You ask for a secure container and they can either be
delivered for $$$ or you can pick them up. The containers should be made
from real materials (wood or something strong with nice foam suspension or
padding with FRAGILE printed all over them).
A crate will protect better against being squished by other cargo, but it's still up
to the shipper to know how to secure the item inside well enough to withstand shock. A
fully assembled heavy thing inside a fragile plastic case may not make it intact no matter
how good the padding is.
