Seems the only way to guarantee stuff arrives intact is to lug it up the stairs yourself.

I hear that, I did almost the exact same thing when I moved last year. Lived like a miser (old futon, milk crates for a coffee table) and decided to splurge some of my savings and buy some nice furniture, a tv, a bed ect...and every last piece came broken, on the third couch delivery (that's right it came broken twice before) the legs just fell of while they tried to squeeze it through the door, the screw that held them in place looked like it had been sawed in two. They then had the nerve to get mad at me for telling them I wanted to cancel the order and take my business elsewhere. Amazing.
Just last week I ordered a new pair of glasses, I go in to get them and they are broken at the nose piece, snapped right in two. I'm waiting on a new pair which will take another 3 weeks, yeah I don't mind squinting and getting headaches for another month because some idiot in packing can't contemplate that delicate eye glasses might need a little protection while rumbling across the country in the back of a truck. When you don't have a lot of money it hurts to spend it on anything, especially a luxury and when the people you give your hard earned money to can't even be bothered to treat your purchase with care its beyond infuriating.
