I'm trusting FedEx/ UPS less by the day


Many of the people working these high demand jobs in the shipping industry were already hating it before the pandemic and what not. Now I think many simply dont care one bit. Then you throw huge "fragile" and "do not drop" stickers on the box with a nice big beautiful picture advertisement of the component/ speaker on the outside box for everyone to see and its almost goading them to mess with it. 

Recently bought a subwoofer and  there was a hole/dent in the box  so deep it penetrated through the 2nd interior box. Obviously this was dropped from some distance. Not too mention the fact that the UPS driver just flopped the box off the dolly causing it to roll forward on to its other side. Right in front of me. No apology or anything,  just handed me the sign pad and acted like it was nothing. And that's how it's being treated in front of the customer I can't imagine what goes down in these warehouses. 

Ok end of rant 🙂

So my sub arrived today. I saw the UPS guy coming and went to the door. He already put it down before I got there. He was very gentle with it and then offered to bring it into the house.

The sub itself was fine. The seller shipped with the grill attached and the jostling broke off the plastic pegs. Not a major deal and I can work around it. It's on the seller, not the delivery.
