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?

I shipped Meadowlark Blue Heron 2's in original heavy duty wooden crates, from Northern California to Vancouver, British Columbia. Customs did open them and in the process damaged a very expensive tweeter. The Audiogon buyer in Vancouver was brushed aside by customs folks and we had to split the cost of the repairs. Customs folks routinely open these boxes and are notoriously careless. I won't ship to Canada again.
