And it comes to me that shipping CRT monitors through commercial shipping companies is hazardous. How did companies such as IBM, HP, etc. ship new CRTs back in the day? I assume that because they were new monitors, buyers would have higher demand (no scratch for example). How did they manage to do that?

Or is it because shipping becomes more shitty (or to put up a better phrase, cost consciousness) nowadays? After all it seems to be easier to ship LCD ones than CRT ones.
