I don't think that was the issue...

 

For starters, I used to work at Fed Ex, both in unloading and loading trucks. We used to climb on packages and walk on packages if need be to reach the upper row of packages. They load those trucks as tightly as they can. When I loaded trucks in the pre-load area, we'd get boxes that were busted open and retaped...and hadnt even travelled more then 2 stops.

My good friend sent me a really nice Notre Dame coffee cup wrapped in 2 layers of bubble wrap thru the US Postal Service. It was marked GLASS on all 4 sides and guess what? It was broken in 3 places.

The point I am trying to make is simply that wrapping in a couple layers of bubble wrap isnt always going to insure its protected. I recently ordered a box set of DVDs from an Anime online store. The box set was about the size of 3 VHS tapes side by side, it came in a box that was a foot long, foot tall, foot wide, packed full of styrofoam peanuts. Talk about overkill. However, small items should ALWAYS be packed in bigger packaging as they are more likely to be damaged in shipping.
