I guess 18 "Handle With Care - GLASS" stickers weren't enough...

Comes a time
When the blind man takes your hand
Says don't you see
Gotta' make it somehow
On the dreams you still believe

I'd be complaining. Tomorrow. At the UPS shipping place.

Yep.

Unfortunately I'm serious.

Amazingly, only 2 of the 14 pieces got broken.






I'm definitely getting in touch with them in the morning.

All I can think of is the opening scene from Ace Ventura.

it does suck

but that sticker over 70lbs , ya joking

i think the packer should accept some blame on this one

You can never even send anything without it being packed properly for the worst
possible monkey getting a hold of it and expect the contents to make it through
i dont care if you have been a mechanic for 10 years doing something for a long time does not make you good at it, take my gf for an example shes been walking for 28 years and still manages to fall over all the time.

The fragile stickers are a like challenge to the handlers.

I never use them.

i'm not defending ups, but the shipper could also have gone with a heavier corrugate

Do they make corrugate heavy enough to go through what it looks like that box went through?  Someone threw that out of the back of the truck and then it got run over
