UPS facing the piper .. Fedex not so much!

FedEx is just as guilty. There are only a couple options. Either they knew they were committing illegal acts or they were too stupid to know they shouldn't be shipping it. Either way, I can only hope the pigs running this company are thrown in a federal prison and abused by the inmates for all the misery they serve up their employees. I find it amusing how regardless of how much money these pigs make, they're just a bunch of overpaid idiots. I get to see a lot and most of it doesn't impact me because of my role. They deserve whatever they get. Dummies.....

Right. Every shipper should automagically know the contents of the packages that they pick up and deliver.
The article has to do with online pharmacies......not individuals shipping weed, etc.I know for a fact management has looked the other way when outbound packages that reek of weed and not even bother to investigate these suspicious pigs. I believe that's a federal offense. The only time they do anything is when the sheriff is here with his dog and security. This is the attitude this company has. They look the other way collecting the money until they get caught.

Good job, Dan. This is a big company. You're implying that at no point should someone from FedEx asked the question, laid out the laws or company policy as it ships different medication. If this company could validate that it did it's absolute best or even a marginal attempt, it wouldn't be held in violation of the law. It's called gross negligence and we should be prosecuted to the highest letter of the law. I'm surprised at how stupid this company shows itself to be over and over again. Once again, the pigs in this corporation will do anything to move the share price and it usually fails.

If you owned a shipping company that you wanted to keep afloat, what would you do? If you don't have to do it, aka the law isn't telling you straight up "you have to know what it in it as you are as responsible as the shipper themselves" then why would you take on the added responsibility and cost. Hello, lets thinks about this a bit. It's not because UPS/Fedex/USPS is bad, but you can bring the whole system down if you would have to verify every package. Common sense tells us what we can really do or not.
Why wouldn't the gov't give the shipping companies which shippers are doing it illegally and simply have them cancel those contracts? That only makes a ton of sense and they would both comply and neither is losing business to the competitor in that case either. It's a no-brainer. It would be if the gov't told you X,Y,Z is illegal and stop business immediately, then if UPS/Fedex didn't stop there is your case against the small package carrier company. I can tell you this, state govt's for wine have done this for carriers and shippers.
They do it with wine shippers. Yet not with online pharmaceuticals. Prescription drug abuse is on the rise and especially with young people in large part because it's so easy to obtain. And its companies like FedEx who look the other way in the name of profit which has made this problem worse.

I do surrender I do not know pharmaceutical regulations when it comes to shipping. However reading articles on this, I see no one pointing to UPS or Fedex for breaking Laws A, B and C. I do see the carriers stating things as if there are not proper regulations on this, nor any type of lists given to them on who they should stop transporting goods for immediately. Why not? And until those things happen, how can they have any liability in this?
Fedex and UPS would not do anything special for wine if there weren't regulations. They wouldn't collect ABC's, they wouldn't mark boxes, require 21 years etc. But since there are proper regulations for it... Guess what? Both companies do their part in abiding by it. Sounds like this case is cart before the horse and someone not named Fedex/UPS has to get their act in gear first.
No matter what is done regulation wise there will always be a black market. Now to stop that more would be requiring the carriers, including USPS to open up every package. Costs would rise a lot. Are we (Americans) really ready for that cost increase? Is that what we really want? Is it really a better world that way? Is it really even possible? This would then be challenged in court on privacy grounds.
It has to start somewhere.
The things you mention above that they make you do are regulated and there are methods in place to follow, otherwise possible fines will be issued. What this story is alluding to is there is no regulation at all in place for it, so it's not possible to police without it. And as it stands right now, by contract it is the shippers responsibility to abide by the laws of the land, govt's have looked it over and at least they came to the sensible conclusion "it's not really possible to open ALL packages world wide and examine them". Thus the onus is on the shipper.
Sure they cant open every pkg or catch every illegal shipment but they don't have to look the the other way or play dumb when it ts obvious. I have personally witnessed this with packages that obviously contained weed. When brought to their attention they smelled it looked at it then through it back in the container. They Simply do not care and don't want take the time and resources to address this. These shippers know that FedEx will let these small shipments through the system and take advantage of it. In essence FedEx and UPS are the new drug mules across state lines.

This is a whole other thing from what the article is about. I've seen them go both ways, I'm not sure where the laws are at requiring carriers to do anything based on smell of street drugs. I know it could get ugly if you push too far, perhaps to a point it puts drivers in harms way more. Just sayin, be careful for what you ask for, these aren't easy things to deal with, desperate people and all.
