how high is the drop test at ups?


just got a new set of high quality bookshelf speakers. one is doa. so i looked inside and the xover is snapped from the terminals and has a corner cracked off. i have never seen this before. there is no damage to the box. i wonder how this could happen. it looks like a powerful force must have developed even tho the crossover is heavy duty and weighs more than many.

Always assume your package will be handled in the Jim Carrey "HDS Delivery Man" fashion, and pack accordingly.

Rule-of-thumb:

One set of high quality bookshelf speakers =
Amana double-wide refrigerator box + 500' roll bubble-wrap
Is there such a thing as, "Gorilla-Proofing?" I have only succeded in making packages, "Gorilla-Resistant", thus far. They do have a great tracking system though.

Depends, if it is declared as a turntable, UPS will take it to the nearest twenty story building for dropping. Moral: is never ship a turntable, unless you can break it down to little pieces for assembly elsewhere. Pickup for demo and a cash payment is always best.
