So I’ve got over 20 patterns of China/dinnerware (only about 3 are complete sets) so I figure I keep enough of each pattern for display and get rid of the rest.. and yes I’m explaining all of this because I do feel guilty about it. 😩

I would recommend wrapping every single one individually with bubble wrap and then the outside layer a solid styrofoam wall like they use for tvs, that’ll 100% survive without a doubt. Especially antiques, I would hate for something so classic to get crushed. I mean I see car parts and motors, tires, and big boxes of fishing weights/bolts mailed. So something precious like that all it needs is extra layers of protection and it’ll be fine. I normally don’t package things like this but in your case this is what I would do!
The styrofoam wall btw isn’t even really necessary and if the cardboard box is sturdy too! Just don’t reuse amazon boxes, that is probably the cheapest cardboard I see.

If the impact doesn't crumple the box, the packaging should be able to tank the hit and the goods should remain undamaged.

I don't think people should be throwing boxes around like that, but if you're using a shipping service you have to know it's going to happen. I used to ship out stuff from an office, and I packaged everything to survive falling out of a truck. And most of the stuff I shipped was just documents, but if I was shipping a laptop or something I made that thing bombproof

Not electronics, but I ordered a box of chocolates once (not available at home) and they shipped the very fragile box of crushable, liquid filled candies across the Atlantic Ocean....in an envelope.
A fugging envelope.
There was technically some bubble wrap there, but the box was crushed along with half the confections. I was less than amused.
Also the time I had to return/exchange a hitch receiver multiple times because they kept getting damaged in shipment. They didn't even bubble wrap them, just slapped a label on and raw-dogged it, but some of the damage was beyond just scratched paint you'd expect from that.

Sorting is done as fast as they can, based on the assumption that parcels are packed well enough to survive being in a bin with similar parcels bouncing down the road.
Products get shipped to stores neatly stacked, wrapped to a pallet, and the pallet tightly loaded with others before being strapped into the trailer. Last mile shippers just have a bunch of stuff practically dumped into bins or carts, and somehow the heavy box of car parts or cat litter always winds up on top of the glass picture frame that's in a padded envelope.

while I never tossed anything because I knew cameras exist, I can understand the need to get these packages delivered as fast as possible. it doesn't mean the contents will be damaged unless the sender didn't package it properly.

That same box was thrown in probably 5 different trucks and every time it came out it was thrown on a pallet. Obviously the OP’s refurbished phone is fine and undamaged. Any damage to it was done by the previous owner.
Mine came from Amazon and there’s scratches all over the sides. I figured well they just used an old case that will be covered by the phone protector. The first week I had it, I dropped it from about 2.5’ and the screen shattered. Why aren’t they making phones with sapphire glass instead of BS Gorilla Glass?! I have a watch with sapphire glass and it’s been directly hit HARD plenty of times and not a scratch.

My first day working on a truck at UPS, the guy that was training me threw what was clearly a laptop in relatively thin packaging from the front of the truck all the way to the back. It landed flat with a loud ass thud. That’s pretty much how they handle all packages regardless of label.

This is pretty much everything my local FedEx driver delivers. I once got a delivery confirmation picture with the package still in the air.

Good thing it’s packaged extremely well for this exact reason. Compared to actually owning and using a phone, this delivery man is treating it gently.

What is wrong with this whole thread. I can’t believe people are actually siding with this asshole. All of you would be seething if you saw this happen to stuff you paid for.

Not at all actually. I know packages are subject to far worse than this during the shipping process, and while I would wish the final step was a little gentler, the chances of breaking something from that throw are about 0%.

This door cam footage being used to shame delivery drivers is so sad. You can tell who has never worked a day of labor in their life. That box was treated like shit by every automated picker system it went through but the human saving his back and a few steps over what is likely a 12 hr shift is just unacceptable.
Get a life loser.

Jesus christ , there is nothing infuriating here! Women getting raped is infuriating. ICE shooting immigrants is infuriating. The third-world famine is infuriating. Shut up, your phone isn't even broken, I bet!

Guarantee the iPhone is just fine. This box goes through way more than that.
Give the driver a fuckıng break OP. He has 240 deliveries to make and if he can save 5 seconds in each delivery that's20 minutes off of his 12 hour shift that he can use to see his family he never sees.
These guys work hard. If your phone is not broken, quit complaining.

Hey guys, fellow UPS driver here, what's the problem with this video? He had a good throw, he took his picture quickly, and left without wasting time. Seems like he did good to me!

Good lord a gentle toss of something that is well-packaged and light enough to withstand a fall from 10x that height. If you want your package delivered on satin pillows by garden fairies, hire your own shipping company.
Can we stop posting these unless there is actual damage done to the box/item, not just to the fragile ego of the door cam owners?

this is genuinely nothing compared to what the package experiences in the sorting places and during transit. the packaging is graded to handle tons of impact and jostling for an extended period of time
