[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 1331802, member: 4653"] Our everyday customers know what their packages go through because they receive the beat-up, half-opened, re-wrapped packaged everyday. Its the people who only use us to return something or ship something to their mother that have no clue. They think we're the post office. They have to be thinking that way because nobody can be that ignorant. They think to themselves: "my mail gets to me in 1 piece so wrapping my package in a paper bag or notebook paper will be just fine". Recently, I placed an amazon package that was about 12x8x36in next to a customer's door and stood in up on the 12x8 side because it was raining and if I placed it on the 36x12 side I would have blocked him and he wouldn't be able to open his door. Anyway, as I was walking back to the truck the wind blew it over. I get to the truck and I hear him yell: "hey, that's fragile!" Now at about 30 yards away I wave and say "Your welcome!" with a smile and pretending I didn't hear him clearly. I did this because, let's face it, if your package can't survive a gentle knock to the ground by the wind it shouldn't be in the UPS system. Quick aside here. When I was in 5th grade we had this project called "Egg-or-Not" in which we had to devise a protection scheme for an egg that was dropped from the roof of the school. 90% of the class successfully dropped their eggs without breaking. This is how customers have to pack their stuff. [/QUOTE]
