[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 360231, member: 12570"] Storm, how many consignees do you think actually know (or care) what an ORM-D is? I had no clue what this was until I started working here. Of course, I now know that is stands for Other Regulated Material-Domestic, which are household products which are safe to be transported by ground but need hazmat papers if going by air. Unless the website from which the products are being ordered clearly states that this product is ORM-D and the shipper requires an autograph, the consignee is not going to have a clue and, for the most part, neither will the driver. I had a similar incident when I was a young driver. I had a customer who home brewed his own beer and he had ordered some brewing yeast. I had no idea what it was but DRed it using the methods. Well, his dogs found the pkg and ate the contents and had to have their stomachs pumped. The guy bitched but there wasn't much he could do beyond that as we had done everything right. I found out later that the dogs could have died. [/QUOTE]
