That is absolutely right!
I work where we are a UPS shipping center, and if you are shipping anything 
that is worth a lot, you better double box, with 4" of packing around the 
inner box. Anything less and it is "Not packed good enough" from UPS. Then 
you have a real fight to get any money out of them.
If you have ever seen how the packages are handled in a sorting center, you 
can see why they get all busted up. 73
