Having worked at UPS for a short while, I must tell you ***NEVER*** to mark anything as "fragile", or "carefule" unless you plan on paying to have it shipped via next day air. Packages such as this stick out and are subject to
-dropping
-kicking
-opening for goodies (free stuff) inside
-jumping on
-smashing large(and small) lead poles through
-etc
Moral of the story: don't ever ship UPS unless you are willing to ship with lots of insurance and go by air.
