You just gotta double-box and anticipate the handling it's gonna receive....pack your precious item to survive it.
Funny story... I was home, expecting arrival of a McIntosh MC300 power amp (75 pounder). Well, when the "Brown Santa Claus" pulled up I jumped up and walked out to the truck...just in time to hear my precious amp hit the floor of the truck. Walked around to the back and saw the empty rack it had been up on and how far it fell. Damn! Driver looked pretty sheepish, and did help me carry it in the house.
