It makes sense to me, when somethings in a box, it&#39;s just a box, &quot;MEH <em>whateve</em>r&quot; they must think. I also suspect most couriers have grumpy days and if they have heavy boxes to move, they get stroppy, so why would they care about what happens to a heavy boring brown box? It&#39;s in the psychology i think. Look at that shiny and expensive looking tv, of course, they&#39;re going to take extra care...<br /><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/140981.aspxWed, 10 Sep 2008 17:12:23 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:140981Tom0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/140981.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=140981I&#39;m quite surprised as well.
