[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 350789, member: 1290"] The thing is they commonly criss cross long boxes or bridge over gaps to stabilize the load and can end up with up to 1000 pounds resting on it while supported on the ends. It may not show much of anything on the box. A wood pistol grip is an easy spot to break on a wood stock. I recently had my Ruger 77V fall over on the rubber floor of my van and it cracked right through the pistol grip without leaving a mark on the rifle anywhere. I'm a dealer and I cringe whenever I have to use UPS ground. Almost every time the boxes arrrive and look if they had gone one more day the rifle would be out of the boxes. I think the throw them like javelin's as I have had more than a few show up with the barrels exposed. When I ask my driver about them they always say that they were improplerly packaged because the contents are coming from the inside out. I use Fed Ex Air or Priority mail with much better luck. UPS is so short handed and the attitudes are getting so bad it seems like they are taking it out on the frieght. I just avoid them until they get their act back together. [/QUOTE]
