''the drivers often sit or stand on boxes.  They certainly always
get used as makeshift chairs during their lunch break.  Boxes are tossed
around like fish at a fish market, but often with no one to catch them. '' 
This is why, according to international standards agreed among all 
postal services on earth ("Universal Postal Union") a package must be 
able withstand a drop from 6 feet high (1,80 m) on one of its corners. 
Don't know off hand the precise ''pound per sq.inch'' or ''kg per cm'' 
required.
