I think sometimes they do destroy the "fragile" boxes intentionally. It's a shame since postage is so high these days and on fragile things there is often no replacement policy other than to hit the post office up for it. The sellers will say they will not replace, not all, but some. I do...
LOL funny you mention geese. We got 3, 2 month old African geese a few weeks ago and my 1.5month old turkey poult hates them! He's way smaller than they are but will display by dropping his wings and tip toeing. The geese do not tolerate him at all so I have to watch them when the poult is...
