It fractures me that people will tape the living wampus over the top of the box (barely adhering to the concave box top) and ignore the bottom that is coming apart as they walk in the door with it.  They don't pay me to wrap and pack and it's supposed to be all done when they come through the door, but since I am the shipper of record [no pun] the claim will end up on my desk, so it behooves me to be as sure as I can that it goes out with a fighting chance.
