We tested it with a couple of written-off monitors. Roughly 10 feet (3 metres), onto a concrete floor, landing on the bottom of the box.

Fuck usps. I used to use them because they were fairly reliable and fast. Then the one time I am sending somethign remotely expensive, Bose speakers, the buyers sends me a prompt email asking some odd qustions. She says, wait until my husand takes some pictures, then we can work this out. Pictures come back.... fucking box is crumped to HALF of its size, accordian style, with a rip running diagnally from bottom to top. No fall would have done this, this was smashed. Called usps asking for a claim. She said did you get insurance? I said i though packages were insured up to $200??? She said, you have to upgrade to prioroty mailing. I said then you need to change your signs, because they are misleading. So I had to take the product back for a full refund, and only sell it for half of what I previously got. Loss of about $130....

You'd have to completely smash a CRT monitor with a heavy weight, to break the neck of the tube. If you drop it from a sufficient height it can be snapped off, with no apparent damage to the case. We boxed our shit well.

That.
See, the geniuses that designed the sorting facilities have belts moving along 45 feet off the ground. If boxes jam up on the belt, your package tumbles three stories onto the floor (and if it lands flat, the box shows little or no damage). The box is then casually scooped up, put back on another belt, and then sent to you...where it delivered complete destroyed, and then they claim it's your fault for not packing it correctly/insuring it enough/or whatever...in flagrant disregard for interstate trucking laws that actually make them ENTIRELY responsible, no matter what. Problem is, you need to sue them to get them to respect that law. They're all scum.
