Hi Brian,
All of the packages are handled by machines and sent down tracks/rollers. The scanners read the barcodes and the packages drop into hampers. Sometimes 2 or 3 hundred small packages are in a hamper, so there can be a lot of weight sitting on the packages that are on the bottom.
The only packages that are handled manually are the very heavy packages or unusually shaped packages, such as a fishing pole. When we receive our packages in the morning they roll off of the truck in large metal containers that are 3x3 wide and 6 feet high, filled with large and small parcels.
I sell a lot of items on ebay and I always try to package the items to withstand any type of handling. I learned the hard way that bubble mailers don't protect slabbed cards.
Thanks, Rick
