and according to nearly every ups/fedex/usps shipping center worker, that doesn't compare to the abuse they suffer before they're on the truck.
it's why apple put tilt sensors and shock sensors in their bulk iphone shipments overseas. they can't trust the shipping companies to not do that, unless they know they can be caught.
I was thinking of just this (i.e. who is held responsible nowadays by customers of mishandled deliveries) while I was watching, a few days ago, a UPS worker actually throwing boxes out of the back of his truck onto the concrete ground while it was raining.
Hopefully none of those boxes were electronics, which would not have survived such poor handling unscathed.
