[QUOTE="Byrath, post: 872437, member: 36987"] Absolutely right, I'd say easily 50%, probably more, of damages and fallouts that I deal with are due to poor packaging. Prime example being 40-50 pound boxes of books being taped with one strip of non-reinforced tape per side. Perhaps UPS could do more to push notoriously bad shippers to use better packaging techniques, but they're probably afraid of losing customers if they push them. I also agree that quality is pushed more nowadays than 15 years ago, at least in the outbound in my location. When I was loading I would've been hassled constantly if my speed was comparable to most of the loaders now, but on the flipside, they have to worry about using load stands, loading to the top, write-ups for misloads etc., whereas the only refrain back then was 'get that **** loaded'.
