Charley,
sorry to see/hear of your situation. I have been using UPS for years and ship several packages per day. I continually have problems commercialy but rarely do on my home deliveries. As told by a UPS rep, the worst thing you can do is put fragile stickers on a box.

I have to agree on the $1000 cost. I have built model cars for years and used to belong to IPMS and can tell you they can be very little different than doing a full size car. They can take almost as much time. Based on the photos I saw, $1000 was cheap! Good luck.
