I'm a retired carrier, packages usually got to us damaged. We never (or at least I ) never damaged a package. I'm not saying that there isn't dirt balls out there that didn't, but they were almost always temps or contract carriers. The clerks and mail handlers on the other hand!!!!
They would think nothing of tossing a package as far as they could. But to be fair, I've seen UPS and Fed-Ex employees treat packages the same. I had a UPS driver on my route that often shipped packages via USPS. We talked one day and he told me aside from shipping being cheaper, he figured packages would be handled better. The very best thing you can do is package things like it could take a nuke, write the address on the package in more than one place.
