The key to shipping is the right packaging. And, the more fragile the piece, the more important the packaging is. I always wrap everything very tight and always double box the orginial mfg box.
And, I will triple box if I feel it needs it (very heavy, fragije, large item, tubes, etc). I have my audio pieces packed by a professional and have never had a problem regardless of the carrier. I watch him pack to ensure it is done correctly. And, he makes suggestions to ensure a safe arrival that I always agree to.
It is my opinion that spending money for packaging is very important. My goal is the safe delivery of my package and I do everything possible to ensure it is packed correctly.
The packaging is very important and not necessarily the carrier. I have shipped fragile items using UPS and FedEx and they always have arrived safely. They were packed correctly.
