Yea, I've had UPS and the USPS be rough on packages too. The one from the USPS was Christmas ornaments and luckily they weren't broken, but from a collecting point of view they aren't worth as much as they should have been due to the box being in bad shape. I don't recall Fedex being that hard on boxes, a few of them haven't looked in excellent condition but have never recieved a broken item with them.

So far the best company for me in terms of delivering the items days before they were supposed to be and the boxes being in good shape is DHL (you know the yellow trucks you are seeing advertised now on tv).
