Other Important shipping etiquette.

I'm going to rant a little bit but this is more of a reminder to simply be careful. Most of you have bought and sold something but this is for the sellers. Shipping companies don't give a crap about what's inside the package your mailing and you HAVE to keep that in mind.

If you are shipping an item, ask yourself, "if I throw this off of my roof, will the contents be okay?"

If the answer is no, then re package it!!!

I received these 3 packages this week from different sellers...

MAKE SURE YOUR CONTENTS ARE BOMB PROOF BEFORE SHIPPING IT TO YOUR CUSTOMER.

I asked a buddy that works for UPS what they do to packages marked "fragile", he said they kick them harder. Just keep that in mind.

I've shipped thousands of boxes all over the world and yea, what can get mangled will and usually does. I try not to even sell stuff that cant be bullet proof shipped or is a pain to box up.
I always love getting something with nothing but sharp edges and the moron shipper uses those air bags or bubble wrap for packing. every one popped and parts grenaded!

when I ship a motor I bag it up and use pool noodles inside the box for spacing. Then I spray foam the entire thing. Then I put it inside another box.

I use the word buddy loosely. I agree. He's a dick.

I built a crate for a motor once, thought it was bomb proof. Till FedEx dropped it off the back of truck

Yeah...they screen for those characteristics when they hire people willing to unload trailers by hand onto unconditioned docks in the middle of the night, but they usually come up short.
