I've had really good luck with UPS. It's usually the same guy and he always handles stuff carefully. God knows how it's been handled before he got it but I've never had a damaged package. I think I've just been rather fortunate, though, from all the stories I've read about over the years. I did see a UPS guy come into a local Mailbox store awhile back with about a half dozen smallish packages he was carrying, stacked one upon the other, and he just dropped them to the floor!
