It looks like they just threw all of these various computers into a box with
bubble wrap on each unit.  Bubble wrap is good, but you need the parts in the
box to not move around when the box is being gently handled (ha, ha!) by UPS.
 So now every time somebody at UPS picks up this box and moves it or even
shoves it against other boxes, the parts inside are banging around against
each other and the exterior box.  That is what damaged them, banging into
each other, not really any external forces.

Another thing to learn is that if you are shipping so many thousands (or even
hundreds) of dollars worth of fragile stuff via any shipping service, it only
makes sense to have it insured for replacment value.  It is only a couple of
dollars.  Some times the lessons in life are expensive.  That is so you
remember them better the next time.

Thanks,
