Baggage handlers have nothing on FedEX folks. They literally hurl 
packages into the truck like baseballs. I used to work for a major 
fullfillment company, and one afternoon we were in the IT office and we 
got to see first hand how FedEX loaded up the items they were shipping 
from one of our West Coast facilities. :)

Of course our packing / prep took this into account and so the items 
survived.
