<p>[QUOTE=&quot;green18, post: 1306366, member: 10103&quot;]Most assuredly they could do better in the packing department but I don&#039;t think it&#039;s the fault of the mint, so much, as it&#039;s the fault of the fulfillment center which does the actual packing and shipping. When the mint goes looking for a contractor to carry out a task or job for them I would assume that such a contract would go up for bid and the low bidder gets the contract.&nbsp; Contractors look to save on costs, so hence the &quot;one size fits all boxes&quot;.&nbsp; Instead of carrying an inventory of 10 boxes (for the sake of argument) you only need three or four.&nbsp; Saves on shipping costs but rankles with the customer who gets the rattler...... </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know how they do it in the city Chris, but out here on the Island you&#039;d never get away with that.&nbsp; It&#039;s called &quot;flagging stops&quot; and if you were caught doing it you got suspended.&nbsp; The only thing I can say is maybe the guy was overloaded with &#039;stops&#039; and was looking to make up time by skipping customers.&nbsp; Not a good thing as the company and driver are not delivering the service they&#039;re supposed to.&nbsp; If I was unable to complete my assignment I had to phone the office and apprise them of my situation.&nbsp; They&#039;d do their level best to get someone out to give me assistance.&nbsp; If they couldn&#039;t I was told to &quot;stay out there&quot; till the job was done.&nbsp; There were many nights that I would roll back into &quot;the building&quot; way after 10PM.&nbsp; Didn&#039;t make for much of a family life back then, but ya sure as the devil enjoy your retirement years.......<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; I still get nightmares to this day.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
