I take pictures of obviously damaged boxes and/or contents at the first opportunity. It gives me some ammo to use. Recently I received an HP frequency counter (with Nixies, of course) and the box was so beat up that the people at the post office recommended that I send it back. Knowing how rugged HP stuff is I took a chance on it—after taking several pictures of it sitting on the counter in front of the grinning clerk. It works fine. A friend of mine bought a computer monitor years ago—19" CRT—and when she heard the UPS van pull up she went to the door. She got there just in time to stop the UPS guy from leaving. The box wasn't a cube anymore, it was a ball. All eight corners mashed in. It made all kinds of jangling sounds when moved. It left with the UPS van.
