Always use UPS for big fragile stuff, Hermes for everything else, all packed well, EG heavy cardboard over knobs and displays and corners, then bubble wrap, then into a sturdy box item wedged so it's can't move, never lost a thing. Items need to packed to survive knocks,couriers haven't the time to muck about on the whole, parcels get thrown no matter what it says about fragility. UPS, TNT + DHL are the three big proffessional couriers, more expensive but worth it. I use Interparcel, better than ParcelMonkey, IP have very good customer service, PM doesn't.
Agree couriers are underpaid, most are tracked and timed but Hermes local courier Tim uses own car. It's a good idea to get on first name good terms with couriers like anyone else, treat em with decency and respect they'll help you out when you need it.
