DC is a screwed up city, but the rampant drug abuse (among a lot of other things) is a symptom of it's problems, not the cause.I'm surprised you feel you can say that. You're close enough to DC to see the problems drugs have wrought on that city.

The safe answer is to not care whats in the box. Deliver everything by the methods and let someone else worry about it.
The problem is we live in a world ruined by drugs and a dangerous world ripe with terrorists and terrorist types.
I don't think we should be inspecting every box that we get as part of ups's security force.
I do think that we as citizens of this world do have a responsibility to report those boxes that scream drug delivery at us or those that look highly unusual or suspicious for one reason or another.
Everyone here who said we should look the other way should also not complain the next time some druggie mugs, burglarizes or carjacks them.
Don't call the cops. Take your drug induced beating and write off the loss like a champ.
I thought the problem in DC was the politicians.
Thats a bright idea!! Sounds like you have no morals.What if it was a DEA test pkg & you got stung ??? Stupid idea!! You have to remember one thing at UPS to survive It's only cardboard & I don't care whats in it,ITS NOT MINE>>> The temptation of some people baffles me ,is any pkge worth losing your job or worse your integrity!! No I don't think so.WOW... 4 pounds of marijuana...I would of pinched like a ounce or two and retaped it back up and delivered it...I mean I dont think a customer can call and say I am missing pot....lol..but damn I hope it was some fire and not some dirt

That's a great Idea
But can you be specific about what makes a package scream I'm full of illegal drugs. I mean there is going to have to be some sort of stardards that each driver can use to determine which box might contain drugs or it will just be a guessing game.
Sober
Who is going to "make" the drug for whom to prescribe at a low enough price to run the drug cartel out of business? Our Gooberment?
And who is going to figure out a reasonable symptom for someone to get a script for heroin? Crack? And the list is endless. And who is the one in authority to write the script?
How would you know it's from a porn distributor? Does the return address really say "Joes Porn"?
Shouldn't the shipper have put "adult sig required" on it?
Do the methods even say anything about reading the return address on every package we deliver?
Just sayin.....

Before you start the name calling get the facts right. Dah I never thought of that. All you are reading and hearing is what the media is saying. Some of the info floating out there is correct but most is bs. The truth will come out in the courts of the US not the courts of this web siteThe idiot opened the package he should have been fired. If something was sticking out of it like he said he should have Scanned it damaged and brought it back to the building and notified a SUP not open up the box.
. UPS is aloud to open packages, and a driver is part of UPS. But you must be careful that your integrity isn't questioned. .
Its not the drugs, its the illegal status of and the resultant black market for the drugs that causes the problems.
Make the drugs legally available by prescription to registered addicts for a few cents a day and you will eliminate the black market by undercutting the price to the point where the smugglers and pushers can no longer make a profit.
I lost a marriage and my son lost a mother to drugs and alcohol. I very nearly lost my life to drugs and alcohol. Having spent many years on the front lines of the "war on drugs" I can tell you from personal experience that it cannot be fought and won through prohibition.
The definition of insanity is to continue the same action over and over while expecting a different result. We are beating our heads into a brick wall with our "war on drugs"...and its not the wall that is bleeding.

Your question is a little bit of a sidebar but generally the package comes from a customer counter or ups store rather then a regular pickup account. its air . Its taped real well and the real tip off going to a vacant house or business with no inventory that is clearly a front.
How do I know that the box came from the customer service counter or got drop off at the UPS store. So if some one tapes up there box to good it must contain drugs ??
I'm not asking anyone to be a hero. You definitely should not open the package. Just report the suspicious activity and let the manager or LP person take care of it.
Exactly do your job?
Covers post brings up another idea. would you deliver a box coming from a porn distributer to a house with young kids in it?
Last time I check most of the place where you order porn ship in a plain box that you can't tell whats in it.
Just curious where the "I could care less whats in the box" thing ends.
In any case drugs are ruining this world in so many ways and I'm shocked at the indifference shown here.
