[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1144677, member: 14668"] The "original packaging" that most TV's arrive in was [I]not [/I]designed to withstand being shipped via UPS. It was designed to protect a TV that is stacked on a pallet with 30 other TV's, banded or shrink wrapped into place, and moved in and out of a semi truck with a forklift. Any package that goes thru our system will travel over several hundred yards of conveyor belts. It will roll and slide and be bumped into by other packages. It will then be loaded into a package car for final delivery, where it can easily fall off a 4' high shelf if the driver hits a bump wrong or has to brake suddenly. Any item that cannot withstand such a process needs to be strapped to a pallet or put into a wooden crate full of polystyrene foam and then shipped via freight. The bottom line is that we handle many [I]millions[/I] of packages per day and it is a statistical certainty that some of them will be damaged. That is why insurance is available. [/QUOTE]
