The pallet is 2' x 2' and the engine is strapped down dead center.
It's no worse than trying to wrestle with a 100+ lb set of leaf springs.
You want to return what?

Serious question, Dave.
Do they seem to be replacing a lot of newer engines? I have a stake in you answer.

They are averaging 1 return per month so it is a legitimate question.
If you get a chance, ask.
They are having problems with the newer "B-series" engines, and the recommended fix is replacement. We are getting a new short block in my wife's 2014 Forester in the next week or two.

I will ask them Monday afternoon and will let you know.
Thanks.
We're just happy Subaru recognizes the problem, and is fixing it. I was ready for a long fight.
I had a ton of engine problems,when I had my 2003 Forester. I will never buy another one again.
Third Forester here. 2000 and 2007 were bullet-proof. The new engine design has some design problems ( as well as design improvements).
The wife likes her Scoobies, and you know what they say about a happy wife!

Earlier this year, some driver picked up a Weber grill, not in a box, but actually rolled the grill into his truck.
Sometimes I have to question some of my coworker's intelligence !!!! LOL
That sounds like something I would do. Once I had someone return a Kindle. I asked if the had a box, and they so no. Just ship it out. I slapped the label on the screen and off it went. I'd love to hear stories of what is received by Amazon returns.

It's plausible. Cart it to the back of the truck, pick up one edge of the skid and put it on the truck. Then pick up the end that's on the ground and work it in. Alternatively, If you can stretch your arm across the skid and grip the opposite edge, you can use your other hand to support the end that's against you, and carry it just like a box. I've done it more than a few times with things I thought were going to be impossible to move, and ended up surprising myself.

Never had a car engine, but on more than one occasion I have picked up a 100LB+ transmission core that was banded and chained to a pallet. The big issue with stuff like this is (a) making sure it wont come off the pallet and (b) making sure that all the fluids have been drained out.

I always think the same thing, but can see why the customer would think its UPS. The label looks very similar & just has the extra S. That being said, a lot of them are still idiots.

I know you have been working for UPS for awhile but I cannot believe you would pick up a package like that. We do not do pallets that size. I have refused crated engines or engines parts because of flammable liquids(grease, oil, fuel). I get upset when I have to deliver a package that does not belong in the system.

It's just comical to me that several people have no idea the difference!

Your right too. I forgot it was two call tags one for 150 one for 40. Hey said they told him to put both tags on the box. Either way I didn't get any grief for refusing it.
