Think about what that monitor must have gone through in its packaging to make it to the store you bought it at
The difference being, of course, is that the monitor box is shrink-wrapped onto a pallet by people who have an interest in delivering undamaged goods and have processes to make sure that they leave the factory in pristine condition and unpacked at its destination by people who have an interest in getting undamaged goods to POS. The entire process is punctuated by events requiring a signature for the receipt of undamaged goods.

Compare this with unsupervised, sub-contracted baggage handlers with no motivation to handle product carefully.
