PSA -- Bad UPS II : The Sad Mac

[unixronin]

OK, folks.  It's time to stop using UPS to ship anything breakable.  For the second time this year, a someone shipped me a computer via UPS ground, this one coming only the few hundred miles from New York City; and for the second time this year, with it only in their hands for a single day, UPS severely damaged it.

FedEx Ground is out there, it frequently costs less than UPS Ground, and they seem to take much more care with packages.  Give'em your business.  UPS is dropping the ball (and your packages).

Jana worked at UPS 1979-83. Her advice was to expect everything to be drop-kicked, tossed, etc. They (the sorters) used to have competitions to see who could throw the largest package the farthest.
