When you hear that the UPS guys are going through contract negotiations,
stay away from shipping via UPS at all costs.
I used to moonlight at a Radio Shack and we shipped a lot of items via UPS
to and from the product warehouse and repair facilities, and UPS found a
way to destroy too many things.
Whenever I purchase something to be shipped, I always request ANYTHING
other than UPS, usually USPS. USPS has a good track record (in my area) of
getting things too me quickly and undamaged. For Federal employees - they
do pretty good here.
You should hear the FedEx ground people talk about UPS. Geez....... The
stories are horrific.
This will probably start a big Union vs. Anti-Union flamewar, but
throughout my life, my experience is that you get much better quality and
performance when a union is NOT involved. Automobiles are shining proof of
that.
