I went through a phase 4-5 years ago that every WHITE box that got delivered to the house was crushed. Not always with damage to the contents, but a number of times it was. One was a SEMROC order, with damaged fin stock on sheet (quickly replaced by Cheryl!) and another was a mint Centuri Saturn 1b kit in original color kit box. THAT shipment was almost a total loss (some kit parts were salvageable), but resulted in a sizable postal insurance claim.
