Talk about the Post Office, I sent a box full of goods back to the UK once
and the bottom got wet and the UK Post Office resealed it with tape and
most of the stuff inside got wet and damaged. 
Now because I put on the contents with the value marked low to avoid TAX,
I'll never be able to claim anything back!!!

Again a few years back with DHL, Sent a Pioneer LD player back to the UK
and the player was damaged on one corner and the inside cd/ld opening
mechanism was shifted out of position. Somehow I think the workers in the
cargo industry seem to treat our parcels as footballs or trying very hard
to hope that the insides aren't valuable and fragile and toss the parcels
6ft into the air hoping it will fall into a big truck or something.
