I have never shipped any pots on RPS, but I get all my lamp parts from
Angelo Bros. via RPS. Without exception, every order I've ever gotten has
boxes that are beaten to heck. Remember Jim Cary at the begining of Ace
Ventura? That's what the boxes have looked like. Fortunately, this is no
problem if the contents are electrical wire, nuts, and sockets, but
pottery..............

My step-father used to have small electronic handheld devices delivered by
RPS and I often saw them toss the boxes on the porch as I was coming to the
door. He was having a lot of trouble with some of this equipment and had to
send many of them back for repairs. I mentioned the way I saw the carrier
treat the packages and he decided to switch. Afterwards there were less
malfuntions. It may not have had anything to do with it but I would worry
about sending anything fragile through them.
