Damaged In Transit

Dear UPS,

I know you have a hard job. Moving all of those packages and getting them to their destination in a timely matter is no easy thing. I don’t mean to complain too much.

I lie. I mean to complain a lot. CAN YOUR EMPLOYEES NOT READ? The delivery guy did have the decency to look sheepish when he dropped off the package, though he didn’t tell us that we’d lost our right to refuse the package by opening it to check on its contents.

The reverse side can’t be as bad as the above, surely.

Unfortunately, I’ve learned the hard way to never EVER accept a package that looks like this.

Oh, I’ve got all kinds of UPS horror stories from when I moved to GA. I used them to ship most of my belongings before I moved, and when they broke half my pottery, they didn’t want to cough up the insurance money. I got a couple hundred out of them anyway, but it almost wasn’t worth it, considering my line of Pfalzgraff is discontinued anyway. :(

Funny … DHL just flat-out loses my shipments.

[But ... ouch! Hope that was insured.]

Thankfully the contents were unharmed. Optics companies know to pack their stuff really really really well.
