Oddly enough UPS are good for ourselves, never use Parcel farce always problems, however this depends on your local depot, the drivers at both ends all companies can suffer through this.
As said always add extra internal packaging, plus corner bumpers and double boxed.
If a delicate item the I would suggest delivery yourself.
Recently had a five figure TT delivered to outer Scotland with no issues what so ever, though i did take 4 hours packing it up!
