how high is the drop test at ups?

just got a new set of high quality bookshelf speakers. one is doa. so i looked inside and the xover is snapped from the terminals and has a corner cracked off. i have never seen this before. there is no damage to the box. i wonder how this could happen. it looks like a powerful force must have developed even tho the crossover is heavy duty and weighs more than many.

Is there such a thing as, "Gorilla-Proofing?" I have only succeded in making packages, "Gorilla-Resistant", thus far. They do have a great tracking system though.

My experience with UPS are awful.

Fedex are much better. YMMV

Depends, if it is declared as a turntable, UPS will take it to the nearest twenty story building for dropping. Moral: is never ship a turntable, unless you can break it down to little pieces for assembly elsewhere. Pickup for demo and a cash payment is always best.

I've said before and I'll say it again. UPS is an acronym for Unbelieveably Poor Service and there is a reason their trucks are Sh*t Brown.
