When you mail a package...who do you use to ship that package? normally i use the good old post office. i have been doing some eBay selling and shipping lately. i like the post office because i can get all my supplies free and online....boxes, labels, stickers...whatever i need. i can even buy postage online for my packages...AND...set it up for the mail person to pick up my packages for me....all for free. do you know that if you buy your postage for packages online that they are cheaper? Yep....you save a few cents by going online and printing out your label. of course, if you are buying online you are using a credit card so you have to pay that promptly to keep that savings from the post office.
I got a package from Amazon the other day that came by UPS. we have a very nice UPS lady...very personable...i like her. she pulled up and honked as she usually does and i went out to see what goodies we had. she couldn't open the door behind her seat to get the package. she says packages shift in the back as she is driving and occassionally drop down by the door and block it so she can't open it. well, you know, they pack the truck back to front, so her first deliveries are closer to her when she opens the door inside the truck.
So she gets out of the truck and goes to the back of the truck and opens that door. well, now my package is all the way up at the front of the truck. she steps on the bumper and says...yep, your package is stuck in the doorway...it seems like it hit the lock and locked the door. So, she proceeds to climb into the truck to retrieve my package. About 200 pounds of driver just starts climbing all over the boxes to retrieve my book. the truck is packed up so she just steps on the boxes to get to the front. one box was about 8" square. i hope there wasn't anything breakable in there.
So, be aware....UPS drivers just step all over your boxes if they have to get to the front of their truck. pack wisely......just saying.
