FED EX freight messed up a hard top for an Austin Healey I restored. It was on a pallet and covered in shipping blankets. They put a forklift right through it and mangled it all up. I had insurance but was told that was only if it was outright lost. Damage claims for freight are calculated by the pound. I think they offered me 5$ a pound. The hard top weights about 40 pounds. I was very pissed. About 2 months of back and forth and all I could get out of them was refunding of the shipping charges. I then had the fun of trying to repair all the damage. I was originally only going to have to strip it down, paint it, and put on new seals.
From this....   To this!!!  |

I once had an overnight letter show tracked at my local post office. I went to retrieve it, ended up in the back of the post office with the guy who handles that. He said, the letter was not there, he scanned the sheet of what should have been on the truck, they don't actually scan the actual packages. I said that was a pretty stupid way to track things and he argued it much more efficent to scan the manifest than to scan all those packages, nevermind many of those packages were never actually there...
No wonder they are losing millions. |

A couple of weeks ago, I came home to find this:
 The boxes wouldn't fit into the mailbox, so the postal worker decided this was much better than taking them to the front door like he was supposed to. My wife took that pic down to the local post office the next day to show the supervisor, and her first response was a stunned "Oh... my... ". Apparently, the local post office has received many complaints about this particular postal worker (this was not our regular mail carrier), and she had been supervising/instructing him closely that morning, but he went back to his old ways as soon as she stopped watching him. And, ya gotta love the irony of "Do the job right" right there in front of his face as he did this. |
