<p>[QUOTE=&quot;green18, post: 1306288, member: 10103&quot;]No more than anyone else.&nbsp; I&#039;ve gotten some pretty dinged up stuff from the Postal Service as well as FDX.&nbsp; You see, it&#039;s not so much the carriers fault as it is the guys shipping the boxes.&nbsp; That&#039;s not to say that the carrier is totally innocent....I agree that the packages can get some rough handling but if the shipper would just take a few precautions when packaging up the contents there would be less damage and less broken and mangled boxes. Lets use the package the mint sent the OP as an example.&nbsp; The mint uses the same size box for shipping out the 25th anniversary sets, regardless of how many sets were ordered.&nbsp; Now if you ordered 5 sets the box was practically filled to the top and required very little in the way of packing material.&nbsp; It made for a really tight pack job, but still, there was no room for padding around the edges of the contents.&nbsp; A good &quot;rap&quot; against the side of that box and the wooden box included with the set could have been damaged.&nbsp; Now for the folks that ordered one or two sets, they just filled the empty space with crinkle paper.&nbsp; What they should have done was cut the box down so that it would be closer in size to the contents.&nbsp; Ideally, the proper way to pack these sets would have been a &quot;box in a box&quot;.&nbsp; The inner box containing the sets and the outer box holding the inner one with generous packing material in between.&nbsp; And then you wonder why there&#039;s never enough time to do things right but always enough time to do it over......<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; That&#039;s completely false.&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen guys fired for doing things like that.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>We had a guy in our barn many years ago who fit that description.&nbsp; The guy was a flash and used to be done by 3 o&#039;clock every day.&nbsp; A relief driver friend of mine was doing this fellows route one day, and while delivering a package to a residence, the door suddenly flew opened and the customer exclaimed, &quot;after 5 years of you delivering here I&#039;ve finally caught you&quot;!&nbsp; &quot;Sorry Lady&quot;, was the answer, &quot;you still haven&#039;t caught him.&nbsp; He called in sick today&quot;........[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
