It's probably just paranoia, but I never put any markings on the box that might single it out. Whenever I've shipped in a box with fragile stickers on it they always ask me what's in it. I just pack the hell out of it and send it on it's way.
Click to expand...

The young lady at the FEDEX counter asked me on a previous shipment if my box contained glass because "fedex is know to be rough sometimes", when I told her yes on that box, she told me to but the fragile stickers on, so now I just find a fragile clipart on the old innerwebs, and tape them to it, and it has worked like a champ. SHOULD anyone ask "whats in it" my reply is always the same....."It's really none of your business, but it contains a rare glass artifact that can only be found in specific locations along the pacific north west coast"

Our UPS driver at work advises us never to use fragile labels because it is an invitation for an employee having a bad day to be a prick

He also swears at us if we leave too much for his afternoon pickup :)

Exactly!!! That's what I always run into around here. Plus, I just imagine Ace Ventura with my beer box... [emoji33]

Good response! My thought process is always, "don't give them an excuse to look at it any closer than it has to be!" Also, see above linked article. [emoji6]

If any of you guys know Badgerfan and can get a hold of him, please ask him to contact me. I sent him my phone number in a pm on Monday. According to UPS and Google maps, the address he gave me doesn't exist.
Thanks.
