[QUOTE="Steelheader, post: 173748, member: 1814"] Most common damage I see is underpacked jobs. Usually someone putting no padding around what's inside, and then wondering why there are creases (or holes) in the side. Funny that a similar box looks better, but packaged better inside. Weirdest damage wasn't really a damage I guess. Remember years ago (pre diad and pre saturday delivery) was making a delivery on a monday. Had a package that had sat all weekend (and was August and hot all weekend). Somebody had overnighted a packaged of crawfish from Louisiana in a ups pack. Funny thing of all was they took it and froze it in ice (I'm assuming) and sent it off. Package was leaking everywhere, and you could smell the rancid crawfish. Took all I could to peel the barcode off (remember the old barcodes we had to take off with our pens????). I actually went to a local business and called the center (pre cell phones too, or at least inexpensive ones) and was told to deliver it anyways. Still cring thinking of the smell of that car that day. Stunk for a month. [/QUOTE]
