Big deal. Maybe they knew who the sender was and knew what the contents in the boxes were.

I had a delivery from UPS recently where the box containing what I had ordered was made of 1/2 inch plywood. It was built with 1 1/2 inch staples. The thing was like a coffin. UPS destroyed it, and the second one that was sent to replace it. The third time was a charm. They paid for each of the first two replacements at a cost of thousands of dollars each. Neither Fex-Ex or UPS wants to bash stuff and when they do they track it back to the handlers and drivers who know if they break things they don’t get to do that very long and keep their job.

Haha, somewhere I have pictures of a shipping crate we sent via UPS with special treatment guaranteed and paid for safe uneventful transit and insured for $150,000. It's a forlorn little thing all by it's lonesome on the loading dock, smashed and splintered.

With a tire tread mark right across the middle of it, and all of the expensive guts squeezed out the corners. Took us 8 months to get the insurance check.

I’ve dealt with some vendors that refuse to use UPS for anything, because of the wanton destruction of the shipments. They use FedEx instead.

Indeed. . .now contrast FedEx’s response and payment with the USPS. . .they NEVER accept blame nor responsibility.
