[QUOTE="Nimnim, post: 3691164, member: 28856"] Never saw this one before, but I've also never seen a box with an intact label put inside a couple bags with a new label on the outer bag. Everyone at my location would have pulled(cut) the label off the original box and taped it to the new packaging. Or they'd have pulled the old label off and had a new one printed. Regardless for something like that the packaging might have been fine, but Google definitely skimped on it, a thin layer of foam probably only on top, and no secondary packaging. Within the past few years they replaced some of the unload belts and in doing so had to move the motor housings for the primary sort aisle belts. Now almost daily when I go underneath them, when before the primary sort motors were below the belts and any letters that slipped past the guard went past the motors and into a catch they now go right into the motor housing , I look up and pull mangled letters and such from the small gaps in the cage. One week me and a couple others found 3 checks where each one was over 10 grand. Lots of legal papers are chewed up as well. I can't say every box of crickets, we get bees and other insects as well, are usually put down the irreg slides and not sent across the belts and I'll pick them up and put them on the sups desk at the PD they go to so they can be loaded in the trailers in a possibly more safe manner than just if they came down the belt and into the chute of a poorly trained loader. I do remember a time about ten years ago where I was in the air unload and upon opening one of the air cans I saw ladybugs crawling all over, and while unloading the whole can there were ladybugs on at least half the packages that then got sent to the sort aisle. Also been a couple times we've found hermit crabs trying to make the hub their home, poor souls it's not a hospitable environment for them, after packages with them broke open. [/QUOTE]
