I have shipped by just about all of the major carriers and have yet to have a plane damaged in shipping (knock on wood) and I feel the reason is because of the extra time and care I take when packaging the plane. The more expensive the toy the more time and care taken. I have been accused of being anal about by some people who have received packages from me in the past, but hey at least their toy was not broken.
