UPS should be last resort. I was told FED EX still handles most packages by hand. I took that to mean that they don't drop from conveyor belt to conveyor belt. The post office does a great job and is much faster than both of the private carriers. The Snap On tool guy gets his deliveries at my shop. The substitute UPS driver sits his packages down and I walk over and kicked the boxes. I said to the driver you obviously haven't graduated from UPS University! Fragile to UPS is Italian for kick. I would add you waste ink to write fragile. UPS will tell you it has to survive a drop from something like six feet or tough toe-nails. Btw 6 feet!!! Why not 20. I do not believe UPS recognizes the terms "do not stack" or "this side up."
