I learned the hard way ;
NEVER USE UPS !
Everything was packed well, suffered EXTREME damage…union tactic…..
They broke a high number of my things over the course of 6 years.
I couldn’t take it any more.
USPS is now the lesser of all evils…..
Then there’s the episode of the Ungrateful UPS temp employee.
When she got laid off, she immediately went up stairs to the employee bathroom,
stuffed the sink drains with paper towels, turned on the water, ran down the stairs and out the building and down the road.
The water came gushing through the ceiling and all over every one of the 4 computers we used to ship our stuff.
Sparks were flying everywhere. They prosecuted her base on eyewitness testimony.
She got 6 years.
Then there’s the episode of the Temp UPS driver, made off with ALL THE CASH from the C.O.D.’s from the entire route. Including mine.
UPS is a CESSPOOL. Losing packages in HUGE numbers. Temps are stupid, ungrateful nitwits.
