If you are going to overstuff 45 pounds of misc. crap into a box at least use something besides dollar store tape. We must have overpriced nutrisystem food spilled all over our hubs.

I happen to think the packaging is OK. For instance, what do we do with the package weighing 45 LBS. in a box with 10 LBS. of crush strength? What are our customers thinking when they do this?
I know Brownmonster is right-on about Nutrisystem but the carton has always held up when I recieve it on delivery. Never holes or corners crushed. The tape may not hold everytime but the food is always there 100%. If not the company will compensate. Its not like its money or jewerly. Its just food, right?

They should just eat the box.
Very filling and has plenty fiber.
Weight loss is sure to follow.

The problem I have seen (as doing spa/decap for half of my 8 hours) is that those damn nutrisystem boxes that are 45 pounds and like 10"x10"x24"....

Which makes me wonder why we don't have DIADs that scan that funny little design, next to the barcode.The problem I have seen (as doing spa/decap for half of my 8 hours) is that those damn nutrisystem boxes that are 45 pounds and like 10"x10"x24"....

It was my understanding that the smart label with a break in it would still scan unless it was tron very badly, making all four sides un-scan-able. If you divide a SL in half top to bottom and then from side to side, each 1/4 would scan with the same info, is what I have been told. I have no idea if that is true or not, but the only explanation I have heard.

now why would they do that?? we will repack it in a nice box, and the customer wont know the difference. or if the actual item is damaged, the customer calls QVC, complains, then QVC calls UPS, complains. Then UPS bends over and pays them the money for the claim... isnt this how it works?

Don't despair. Just wait 30 seconds and Drewed will clear this up for everyone.

Becauseif we couldn't scan the smart/maxi/code, there is no number underneath it to type. Typing in 1z numbers is part of the METHODS

Typing in 1Zs is not necessary--use Find BC. If the 1Z is in EDD you can use Find BC to enter it if you can't scan the barcode.

I've never had issues with any Nutrisystem box on any of my deliveries. I will assume you work close to their distribution center and see more of these boxes than I would. The odds would be higher you will see more opened boxes.
I will give them credit. Those boxes are packed TIGHT. Not a waste of space for the contents to shift.

Had 2 for the same stop yesterday. Both split the tape on the bottom. Not so much the tape splitting that bothers me but the fact that if the contents spill on someones driveway it would be virtually impossible to get the stuff back in the package. Kind of like getting all the dirt back in the hole you took it out of. Bottom line, if you care about your end customer, use some damn tape.

This does work, but, don't hit prerecord before you finish scanning all of the pkgs, or you'll end up typing in the whole 1Z number.

My trick,
just take your pin and stripe out the white line that you know should not be there. The bar code will scan then.
I hate typing 1Z numbers.
