ridiculous! if they handled the parcels the way they should do there wouldn't be any need for people to blinkin write fragile on in the first place let alone pay a crazy high amount on top for better handling!! . Stupid PO
Wait'll everyone switches to Fed-Ex or something. That'll cook their goose!
That's interesting. My post office people remind me every time I mark a package as "fragile" that it actually doesn't get any special handling. I'd be willing to pay extra for it to actually be handled with care. I'm doubtful that they do, even with the surcharge.

That'll cook their goose!Fed Ex and UPS are waaay worse than the PO when it comes to crushing boxes. I've had multiple bad experiences with each of them, including one instance where I happened to be home when they made the delivery. It was raining, and my package was wet. And why was my package wet? Because there was a GAPING HOLE IN THE TOP OF THEIR TRUCK.And when I say the package was wet, I don't mean "a little damp on the outside." I mean the box was disintegrating in my hands and the interior contents were soaked. The delivery guy didn't even apologize.Quote from: dragonfly on June 08, 2016, 02:09:00 PMThat's interesting.

I'm doubtful that they do, even with the surcharge. I read up on it a bit more . . . if you pay the surcharge, your packages don't go through the postal sorting machines, but are moved about "by hand." However, if it has "fragile" stamped on it but the surcharge isn't charged, then it goes through the mail sorting machines along with everything else.
I thought it meant that careless workers were gonna be charged for treating fragile packages like crap.
Well, they better bring peoples' packages to them on crushed velvet pillows in pristine condition for that price, because if your just paying extra for the same ol' treatment, then they got another thing coming and huge backlash from angry customers.
