lol i used to misort alot when i first started, but now i havent had a mis-sort in months thats been my fault. Sometimes they put packages on my trucks after I leave. I know when my mom had something shipped, it went to like oklahoma instead of MI. It happens.

Sorry I love talking about this stuff since its my mundane job lol

One time my buddy shipped his PS2 through UPS. I helped him make a special 5 layer thick impermeable box with layers of sponges inside. He got if fixed and it returned to him in a pretty crappy box, but hey it worked. If I can offer everyone here my advice, ship air not ground. An air container is only about 7 feet high inside vs the inside of a feeder which can be I assume 10 feet. Longer falls. Besides that, 1 person unloads the container vs up to 6 in the truck. That many pissed off people in one spot and things start flying. And **** it, put your labels on the largest flat side that faces up. And tape your stuff up too. Morons ship boxes with 50lbs of screws, nuts, bolts, and they spill everywhere because they slap on one piece of tape. If it agravates anyone, it will be handled worse. When something smashes my foot cause it fell out of a box, I tend to kick it.

No idea, I wasn't lucky enough to break the jam.
Hey snoopdan, where'd you get the picks? I've been dying to show my woman this top secret job I've worked at for 5 years. I recognize the second one as secondary sort...

I snaked those pics off of United Parcel Smashers fourm

Speaking of deliveries... has anyone ever called in sick (or skipped school) to stay home and receive the goods?

I don't do that so much w/ car audio stuff, cause I usually can't use/install stuff right away, anyhow. But, I build custom PCs and when I have a new shipment of stuff coming in for a new build, I call in and veg out all day in my basement... finally comin' out at 10pm lookin' like Sadaam.

*No offense to ANY UPS worker on here.. dont take it personal.*
I just had a group interview with UPS this morning, and as we walked down the long *** row of conveyer belts, and truck loading sytems, i see guys just tossing boxes from one belt to another, it made me sick. And they wonder why they get so many complaints.

Im not sure what was worse, the unloading, or the loading.

The unloading they were tossing boxes from a big semi, to this PILE of boxes, not placing, tossing boxes, denting them, and probably destroying whatever is inside. Even the boxes with 5 or more fragile stickers on them, they still just tossed them.

I will never again use UPS as a shipping method (not that i did anyways)

This thread makes me feel all warm and tingly inside now that your sub is on its way..atleast i used FedEx, but i doubt they are any different.
