After experiencing UPS issues, I now specify Fed-X where possible. The outside
condition of the containers even look better when delivered. These people seem
to care more about what they are doing. I once had a large ~150 lb low-pass RF
filter that arrived by Fed-X freight that was delivered
I've had FedEx destroy packages. One was so bad the driver told me he
didn't even want to accept it at loading but thought I should see it
before sending it back. The seller told me they gave him a really hard
time and wanted to deny any responsibility as he had packaged using a

Two things about this. First, needs to be clearly stated that buyer pays
for return shipping. I've seen this stated. Second, I note that of late,
sellers are padding the hell out of the sales through excessive, even in
some cases grotesque, shipping costs. They're bf high enough as it is...

Shipping is not cheap. It is not the seller's fault.

It all works in UPS's favor. Larger, more robust packaging adds to
weight and dimensional charges. The incentives are all there for them
to be as rough as they can get away with. Why take extra care and go
slower when you just blame the customer, and win by getting more money

Items can swim through peanuts. You can put the peanuts in bags so the
items in the box don't reach the outside.
