A friendly reminder about the importance of sturdy packaging...

[Gaard]

my postal delivery person likes to try to fold it and jam it into our small mailbox....and some of them even have Do not Bend written on them.

 

I just gave my mail carrier a gift certificate to a local coffee roaster. I wrote "for the great job you do". It ain't much, but hopefully it makes a difference.

my mail carrier tends to throw packages on our porch through a hole in the screen. i have not been buying many comics online lately. better than leaving it on my stairs in front of my door in krooklyn though.

While I know boxes are routinely thrown around during the shipping and sorting, that’s gotta be fake. No FedEx, UPS or USPS driver would load a truck that way, they'd just be screwing themselves and making their route impossible.

I'm a firm believer that if the word fragile was never written on the box, it would not be crushed as shown.

 

But... then why did...?

 

 

j/k Contents were well protected. I still have it them, too

Looks real to me, they're getting the truck loaded quickly and that's all they care about. They won't be held accountable for any damages.

If most or all are headed to the same address, it could explain this method not being a concern about too much extra work.

That’s the only other possible scenario, otherwise they’d be trying to sift though an unorganized s-pile of boxes at every single stop on the route.

 

Hard to see if those boxes are labeled.

More likely they're being loaded at the airport or at a large sender to take to a sorting facility or vice versa.

Didn't think of that.
