[35th_Anniversary...]

Apprently a FedEx driver that weighs 500 lbs decided to sit on my package from Sam:

Luckily although the air filter box was partially crushed it was still undamaged. Also, the package from Sam was packaged pretty well with tons of styrofoam peanuts.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it's not FedEx's fault. The brake fluid and air filter boxes were "dented" when I packed them.

I check both and found nothing wrong (worried about the filter not the fluid, it was obviously fine). When the filter was a-okay and not damaged, I packed the stuff up and out it went.

The fluid came to me UPS, so you blame them for that. The filter from my WD supplier, I'm not sure when or where that happened. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Fact of the matter is they both treat packages the same way. Comparing them is like saying American handles bags soooo much better than United. They have the same trailers, and the same setups at the Depot too. I worked for FedEx (when it was RPS), and when you realize the trailers are just stuffed you can't do much about it. That's why a good pack is important. You could end up wtih hundreds of pounds on top of a snow-globe.

And so far, FedEx ground has only lost one of my swaybars, UPS lost SEVEN in the first shipment alone.................. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
