I worked at UPS for a spell. Every box was thrown. Some boxes were called "wedges" used to keep a wall of boxes from falling down. I got really good at it.
Seriously, your shipped box WILL get thrown. I only fault UPS for not telling customers to pack and tape the crap out of their boxes. Some people don't know how to do that.
My friend once worked at FexEx. The attitude there was like, "well, if the packages is insured, then it is okay to break it, because insurance will cover it. If it is not insured, then it's nothing of value."
