How do they do it????????????

I have bought and sold speakers from Canada and both times there was damage done to the speakers. The boxes both times were in perfect shape with no visable damage. The speakers I shipped to Canada was double boxed at UPS'S demand to cover insurance. Does Customs go into the boxes and remove the speakers looking for drugs or a nuke bomb? The tape both times looks the some as when shipped. Does Customs or UPS have different tapes so when they destroy something they can match the tape to the original tape?
Any thoughts?

Damage done to Audio Note AX2'S, the predrilled holes for inserting the screws to hold the speaker to the cabinet was torn up making them twice the size as they should have been.
The screws were still in the holes. Taking the speaker off is the only why to look inside.
Mirage center speaker. Tha front corner was smashed in.
They are very skilled at destroying without damage to the boxes. Must be an art of some form or years of working for UPS or Customs and gaining such a skill that keeps the box in perfect shape and destroying whatever is in it.

I'm with you Joe, never again will I ship to Canada. Nothing against the Goner's of Canada but I'm not hanging around for strike three.
I do think Shandorne has a point on his drug smelling dogs.

Fotis,

At Customs do they match the tape on the box being shipped so that there is no trace back to their inspection???.
There is no way that the speaker I shipped could be damaged like it was without it being removed from the box. But then the box shows no sign of being opened because the tape looks to be uncut and it is the same color as when it was first shipped.
