Jon, I know the one they packed for me that they did a very good job on. I watched them pack it. Also, they know all of the UPS regs and requirements and pack it accordingly. I would guess that is why the guarantee a hassle free claim process in event of damage. I am also going to check out pricing at Kinko's now too. They are affiliating themselves with Fedex and are claiming cheaper rates than UPS. From the sounds of some recent shipments by other list members, Fedex may be a cheaper way to go if they also guarantee their packaging.
