[QUOTE="Coldworld, post: 168520, member: 4777"] I really dont think fedex has the kind of management style that ups does. Two factors are to blame for the damages of packages. 1ST is the high paced flow that ups uses in the sorts. Its all about speed, at any cost. Belts are never turned off, even for a minute to get caught up. Buildings are not big enough, belts are not wide enough and packages fall off, its that simple. Loads in trailers are another problem. The bottom tier packages are the ones that break the fall of the top packages when whole walls fall in trailers. Fedex doesnt come close to the amount of packages ups has so they will have less damages...that doesnt take rocket science to figure out. Overall, with the amount of packages shipped by ups, the damade rate is pretty low. Many of the damages are caused by shippers....thats a fact. Throwing a little newspaper into a box isnt going to protect glass items, come on.Even if a package looks smashed, theres no time to rebox it or at least do a decent tape job on it, it all comes back to PRODUCTION and TIME.
