When UPS or another shipping company sees "Fragile" on a box it means beat the crap out of it to them.Political Correctness'.........defined
"A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a t-u-r-d by the clean end."

This isn't the first time. This is what happens to Brian when he tries to skip the empty Shipping Test Box prior to actual order.
Also, really makes the case for vinyl and streaming.I disabled signatures. -

Or Fed Ex dumping my expensive package on the porch signature required and forges my name so he doesn't have to knock on the door. -
I had a FedEx driver that drove across the grass at the end of the drive, left deep tracks. He also hit my neighbors mailbox on the other side of the street. I spoke with his supervisor and then the supervisor's boss. The driver was fired that day.Political Correctness'.........defined

No I'm not, Tom started it! I was just playing along!
I didn't expect that joke to get legs. At all. But since Bill ruined it - or saved me from a joke I forget to turn off - sigh, yeah, child of a 70s and 80s here.
Yeah, if you WERE 77 and riding the way you do, I'd be even more impressed

Three so bad that not even one of the three components (front/back clear cases and center black CD holder) were salvageable. Jackholes!

Jeez, Brian, is this another one of yours?
Knock wood, but I've typically had the best results with FedEx out of the three. Unless the seller does something stupid, like, say, pack an otherwise perfect B&K 200.2 amp with the power cable plugged into the IEC socket. Doesn't travel particularly well.This says everything you need to know about FedEx drivers:

Shipping companies are brutal for sure. While working for good 'ol USPS, I did my best to educate customers on packaging to prevent damage. If a customer told me the item was fragile, I'd ask, "if I slid this package off my counter and let it hit the floor, would you be okay with that??" Of course I'd never do that, but seeing their reactions would tell me how they had it packed.
I had to laugh, one guy actually told me, sure, go ahead, in fact, throw it across the room, stomp on it. I just smiled and said, sorry, I don't do those kind of demonstrations.....Source: BRP Panasonic UB9000, CDP Emotiva ERC3 - Display: LG OLED EVO 83 C3 - Pre/Pro: Marantz 8802A - Amplification: Emotiva XPA-DR3, XPA-2 x 2, XPA-6, Speakers, Mains/2ch-Focal Kanta No2's, C-LSiM706, S-702F/X, RS-RTiA9's, WS-RTiA9's, FH-RTiA3's, Subs - Epik Empire x 2

The problem with FedEx is over half of their employees are NOT FedEx employees. They like Amazon rely on third and fourth party contractors. Most are as dumb as a post. -

Last logged on April 28, 2018. I have heard you guys talk about him, but no, I don't know him. Did he call people "jackholes" on here, or something?!
