When Good Packages Go Bad
What happens your packages when they don’t show up at all or arrive in such a mangled condition that you don’t even recognize the item you originally sent? Simply put, no one really knows. Not even UPS. Well someone at UPS - the guy who mangled it, sent it off to the tombs or took it home with him - knows what happened to it. But the rest of us will likely never know. Maybe by closely examining our collection of images of smushed packages that took the last UPS truck west, you’ll be able determine what might have possibly cost these packages their lives as serviceable goods. But probably not.
A Little Crunch Never Hurts:
Here we have some examples of how a little bit of downward crushing pressure applied to the top or an end (at random, sometimes both) never hurts anything… except the contents of the package. Have any wagers as to whether or not the items inside were still usable for their original purpose?
When Delivering, Sometimes a Little Toss Can Be Fun:
Lets face it, delivering packages is hard work! And it can be lonely, too. Often, a UPS driver is left to his own devices to keep themselves entertained throughout their shift. And what can be more fun than sharpening your package tossing skills by aiming for various articles sitting on or around customer porches and vestibules? Take a look at these nice pitches.
Sometimes, a Parcel is an Acceptable Sacrifice:
We’ve all heard the saying that “Sometimes, you have to take one for the team.” Well, these shipments did just that. They made the ultimate sacrifice so that some other parcel somewhere could be delivered safely to the customer that paid for same. This section is dedicated to the items that didn’t make it, that sacrificed their lives for UPS Team.
