I've gotten so much poorly packed that I'm amazed it didn't get damaged in shipping. It's probably that 80% of the time, the package is not dropped or shipped on it's side (or upside down) or had something heavy put on top . . . but 20% of the time those things do happen. And for the Post Office, the heavier the item is, the more likely it will be dropped or flipped over (instead of lifted and placed) because the handler can't " handle" the weight.
