It's sort of interesting that UPS doesn't tell you about "the chute", not to mention dropping containers ten feet. If you knew about this, you might have a chance of designing a package that would survive. Maybe. I always figured that they had a conveyor belt with adjustable, spiked rollers, and when the package traveled down the belt the clearance between the rollers would automatically be set for about six inches smaller than the package... How about it, Bert? Ever design anything like this? If I'd had known about the UPS system several years ago when I worked for an engineering company, I could have saved a bunch of time and money I spent on lab testing. Instead of running harmonic searches, shock and vibration tests, I could have just shipped the parts around via UPS. Anything that survived would have to be a pretty good design.
