Did you ship your boombox with FedEx?

You might want to rethink that decision...look at these two knobs at work

What happened to wanting to "STAY" employed?

I saw that on the news, they fired those idiots.

These are the ones that got caught on video...I shudder thinking how many other idiots do the same without getting on camera

And the cleverest thing with popular carriers is the uniform/standardized box - you might have packed it in such a box at its starting point but if you ship international there are a few gorrilas who rip things open and the carrier just places things back into a similar box without even bothering to redo the safe wrapping the proper way you've originally done it.....so the person at end point receives an 'intact box'....but 'you never know' unless:
1. You provide a detailed packing list
2. Email pics of the packing
3. Use a 'custom/ personal' box
At least now you have the customs tape stuck across the unconventional opening created by the nitwits 'checked by customs' which aims to rid the carrier of blame
As they say - what will happen if FedEx and UPS were to merge - you'll get FedUP

Liked it, really fed up.

And never thought of the first caveat arising out of changing the box by the carrier!

The latest on this story is that the small cartons were full of paper, and the drivers claimed that they don't have to walk packages containing paper through the truck.

They could have still damaged other fragile shippments with their carelessness.

 

I hope they don't treat photos as paper. I'll start marking mine as 16th Century stained glass
