FedEx kills packages

Posted in Shorts at 12:12 pm by jw

My work PC and monitor was shipped via FedEx from Pittsburgh to San Jose.  I just have to say that FedEx really knows how to beat the living crap out of packages.  They really looked like they had been dropped 3 or 4 floors onto some irregular object.  The most amazing thing was the stand for the LCD was actually sheared apart in two places on the base – definitely not something that casual mistreatment could possibly do.

On a side note – I’ve never seen UPS or even US Post treat packages that badly.  Only FedEx.

    21 pounds of confidential experimental alloy, lost, at a thousand dollars a pound.
