I'll go one better.
A (non-spinning uncharged) black hole with diameter 1+5/8th inches (so it fits in the box) has a mass of about 2.3 earths.

(Near as I can tell QGP filling the whole box is around a ten billionth of that.)

Of course the box would Very quickly no longer be outside the black hole. QGP would also cause the box to no longer be a container in short order. To put it mildly.

It would also reach its destination very quickly. Or rather the other way around. Free delivery.

Wouldn't the box forever be outside the black hole... as in just on the surface as it would need to exceed the speed of light in order to actually enter the event horizon?...or is that our of date knowledge?

You need to supercede the speed of light to exit the singularity, not enter it. Now we would see an image of the box entering the black hole on its "surface" until that faded, but the box itself would still very much enter the event horizon and be destroyed.

Not only does your explanation match my understanding, but your username suggests you know this stuff.
