I used to work for UPS as a loader ... if a box arrives at the 'hub' for
delivery in two days, but you've payed for 3 ... it _WILL_ sit there until
day
3.

Thank you JW (K9RZZ) for your honesty (I hope you were being truthful when
you
said that)

Yup, the honest truth (hope it doesn't affect my meager pension from there!).

I've had something shipped to me from someone in her via UPS and something is
terribly wrong with the speaker (I won't say names)..... I'll NEVER be able
to
use it. It looks GREAT, nice and shiny and old. But it was more than likely
drop kicked by a worker because this piece is built like I tank ...


By the nature of the chutes and belts that are used, boxes do get beat up.
Not that there isn't the occasional worker that just got dumped by his
girlfriend ... but overall, I found my co-workers to be respectful of the
packages.

When I ship (via anybody), I pack so that I feel comfortable dropping it or
even throwing it against the wall (within reason). Then I know it will arrive
safely.
