During my first year of School, I took a job at Fed-Ex. I did not see much playing with the boxes or rough package handling during this time. When I did see 'rougher' handling, it was due to the very heavy weight of the box.
Packages are not in the care of people as much as one would think. The belts extend all the way into the trucks. In areas where you might be concerned about hard handling practices, if one does not work fast enough, the person got moved to loading. Loading was much more closely supervised.
Boxes do fall, slide, jiggle. But i never saw a fed-ex worker shaking a box violently next to his ear saying "I wonder whats in here".
The good packaging practices of breeders takes care of most things the packages go through. I hope this helps
EDIT: I assume UPS is similar to fed-ex in set up
