Well, that's why they call it United Pulverization Service. Ship FedEx "Home" or "Ground" next time. Double box, and never depend on bubble wrap. Sheet foam is preferred, peanuts, not so much. Crushed newsprint generously applied can work miracles. Rick K8PJQ

They denied the damage claim, saying essentially even though the box was marked fragile, the are entitled to throw it around and pile other 50 lb boxes on it and squash it and it's not their fault if it's destroyed. Anyhow, if you have any projects you might be able to use parts from it for let me know and I'll see if I can salvage them. Knobs, a meter, tubes, power supply components, etc.
