How do they do it????????????

I have bought and sold speakers from Canada and both times there was damage done to the speakers. The boxes both times were in perfect shape with no visable damage. The speakers I shipped to Canada was double boxed at UPS'S demand to cover insurance. Does Customs go into the boxes and remove the speakers looking for drugs or a nuke bomb? The tape both times looks the some as when shipped. Does Customs or UPS have different tapes so when they destroy something they can match the tape to the original tape?
Any thoughts?

So you're saying the boxes (inner and outer) had no physical signs of rough handling or being opened, but the speakers themselves were damaged? (You didn't say what damage exactly)

Were they big speakers, or small monitors, and

Is there any possibility that the speakers were damaged, without your knowledge, by the folks who boxed them?

they are dropped on the entire side of the box from a great distance

Same thing just happened to me on a re-plinthed Lenco turntable shipped from Canada. Packing was flawless and the box was unmarked and showed no signs of being opened, yet one corner of the plinth was badly dinged.
