The overseas shipping is the easy part... the cartons are all stacked on pallets and shrink-wrapped together, and loaded level into the container.
The dangerous part comes in local ground shipping, where cartons are tumbled, kicked, dropped, and drop kicked all the way to your door.
I worked at a company that built dealer-install AC systems for Nissans... that was a thing, all the imported cars came non-A/C, and dealers installed it as an option. Anyway, imagine everything in an AC system- compressor, condenser, evap, lines, hardware, all in one carton. We designed that carton and all the stuffing. And it didn't stop there- we tested the cartons. 30G shaker table, drop tests, tumbling, etc. And afterwards, everything had to be in good shape.
KY/Bancroft has it harder, as they're not dealing with robust hardware like AC compressors... but 3d printed plastics, photoetched railings, an usually no good places to solidly strap the model down.
