How do you guys know these trezors and ledgers aren't getting intercepted in the mail and their guts stuffed with something else?

Well with the Trezor, I know from experience that the small box comes wrapped in tight cellophane, and then the box itself has several security tamper-proof seals. SatoshiLabs says to send the Trezor back if any of these have been compromised.  

They also made changes to their existing packaging as follows:
  • TREZOR logo does not say “TREZOR The Bitcoin Safe”, but “TREZOR” only the package is slightly bigger (100 x 100 x 13 mm)
  • There is less text on the package
  • Sticker with barcode, UPC code and product name is on every package
  • In the instructions is written to go to trezor.io/start instead of mytrezor.com
  • There are two holographic stickers in this batch (one on each side)

At least they're trying to help with security. I don't think there is much else they can do.
