[QUOTE="8up, post: 339814, member: 56"] i've heard that damages found at point of delivery are now to be recorded as missed. we do have preloaders that load obvious damaged packages just to get them on the car so they won't have to deal with them. this is not to say that the preloader damaged it, there is enough poor packaging and poor package handling upstream to account for the damage. but the preload in it's attempt to show production would rather load it than take the time to rewrap or repack. i've always had tape on car, both for the preloader or myself. pilfering has never been an issue, it's embarassing to me to be with the customer and their packages has an open flap, torn label or some other non issue that a strap of tape would have taken care of. i always let the customer decide if the package is damaged, some times it is more important that they get the product today or at least some of the product (in case of fall out) rather than deny them the deliver and make them wait for a replacement. of course none of this would be an issue if everyone handled the packages like they owned them, and i am not embarassed to tell a shipper if i don't think their package will make the journey when it is a glass vase packed in a shoe box with a piece of tissue paper for padding.
