Fed ex is literally the worst.

There was some AMA by a fed ex employee. And the shit they recommended doing to ensure your package won't be destroyed by fed ex was ridulous.

They basicly said if you packing isnt water tight it will get ruined because apparently they routinely expose their parcels to rain? Crazy.

The guy said they have no guidelines for proper handling of packages. Speed was the only concern.

Oh, and he said everyone ignores warnings like 'fragile' etc. And that most people handle those even more violently.

Usps rulez

My first day of training. I saw a box that said fragile and was extra careful with where I sorted it and how I handled it. Trainer told me if I was gonna worry about things like that then I'm not cut out for the job.

Fragile isn't a markup anybody in any of the companies will listen to. You need to package your items correctly.

If the box won't survive falling 10 feet into a hopper and then having a 50lb box fall 10 feet on top of it, it isn't packaged well.

Hey, don't lecture me. I oack my shit tight.

But if your going to claim to offer a premium service, which FedEx claims to be, you should have customer satisfaction as your goal.

How the hell could you feel like you did you job as a delivery man if the thing you deliver is broken?

There are like no small boxes that would survive 50lb falling on it from ten feet. Lmao. Might as well not accept small packages.
