Please for your own good and satisfaction never have your paintballs shipped by a major shipping company. I know you're going to say that they already are shipped from manufacturer to proshop. But they get shipped enmass that way so there's no real risk as the boxes are so huge. But the risk comes when you have boxes individually shipped.
I work at UPS and was unloading a trailer, I saw a case of Marbs, which at the most weighs about 10lbs maybe? But it was sitting under a box that weighed about 60lbs, the marbs' box was mishapend and pretty much crushed. I unpacked carefully around it hoping that maybe the balls hadn't broken and that it would still make it to whoever ordered them safely but I was wrong. The single box took heavy casualties, when I picked it up the bottom was all greasy wet and the tape ontop was busted open, it was hard to see any whole paintballs as most looked to be either cracked shells or covered in fill from the other broken balls.
So please don't have single boxes of paint shipped through UPS or FedEx. Just pick them up from your local proshop the paint will be safer and your money won't be wasted.
