Hey, I've been working at UPS for the past couple months and thought I'd give some insight as to what your packages go through. Brace yourselves this is not for the faint of heart, . But to be honest this probably goes on at all shipping facilities.
What I do there is sort packages so first the unloaders unload these packages onto belts. The packages are stacked up so when they are too tall for unloaders to reach they will knock the boxes down. Sometimes they'll knock a whole stack of boxes onto the conveyor belt. This is about a 7-8 foot drop.
The sorters have to sort these packages as quickly as possible and that's frightening. These things get tossed, flung, whipped, and kicked etc. When the packages slide down chutes they bang up against the walls of the conveyer belt assembly. When packages get jammed they get wedged between metal walls and other packages and start to crush. When too many packages are flowing out for sorters to handle they start to drop off the belt onto the floor.
This is what I see at my position at UPS I'm sure they go through other forms of torture too. This most likely takes place at any shipping facility like I said, it's just a warning to make sure any package sent or received is packaged very well.
