I also vote for the trucking company. I got my tuba via Overland from Dillon's, and was able to pick it up at the depot (easier than staying home waiting for it.) The box was in pristine condition, contrary to what I see (smashed used-to-be-a-box) when I get something large shipped via UPS. Then again, it was a very sturdy box to start with. And there was at least a foot of peanuts on every possible side of the tuba inside the box.
