I worked in a department store shipping 150.00 each Waterford crystal glasses.
We packaged them so the carrier (UPS) could dropkick the box into the truck and the glasses would be just fine.
I have seen truck drivers strap sheet metal AC ducting to their trailers, crushing the corners of the duct, and boxes of who knows what crushed in the same way.
I get it, they have to be sure it doesn't fall off, but there are ways to do it without damage.
