The puncture wounds are new to me! Probably fork lift damage maybe??? I
have even double boxed and used some indoor -outdoor carpet along with
everything else however it adds weight to the shipping cost. I think that
DHL drivers have a vested interest in making things arrive in good shape-so
I hear. I shipped out a dozen or so items since last summer via DHL and it
worked for me. They were fast and cheaper than most. I even sent a large
cubical quad out west and it arrived in good shape. The package was 13 ft
long x 1 ft diam and about 50 lbs! 73 Lew/KlNDV

Yes, but how does one protect from puncture through two boxes, the outside
one & inside one, puncture through two layers of 2" thick rigid foam and
thus leaving dents 1/4" deep and scratches on the equipment?
No drop involved.
