"Instead box it so they CAN'T break it."
No such creature. I once shipped a four foot by four inch diameter x 1/4 inch thick stainless steel pipe. UPS took the challenge and bent it. FedEx lost one of my Harbeth 30 monitors even thought shipped as a pair and labeled box one of two. The humor in it was they knew which warehouse it was scanned into, but could not physically locate the box.
Double box with double wall boxes, palletize, label "no top load" & "fragile" on all sides and insure it to value. Then photograph all sides.
