Additional caution... I no longer use UPS because they shipped a TV for me a 
few years ago, and somewhere along the way, it was dropped at an angle,- on 
it's side so that a 5 inch deep triangular cut was made into the side of the 
box. This shattered the tube. It is my gues that this came from a platform 
corner, or truck bumper edge, or something like that.

When I inquired about the insurance I had purchased on the item, I was told 
the same thing Charlie was, it was improperly packed... HOWEVER, it was the 
original manufacturers shipping carton and styrofoam molds - also filled 
with extra peanuts to fill in all extra space. I could never quite figure 
that one out, and never did get my money back. Just FYI...
