I will keep my opinion Carl, you can keep yours, after all they are like 
noses, everyone has one.

In your tour, did you see the conveyors that drop packages from one 
level to another?  It is about 3 ft. from one level to another.  That 
doesn't even take into account thing like the way they pack to over the 
road trailers.  The start in the front and work to the back stacking 
packages on top of each other until they reach the top of the trailer. 
How wold you like to have a teapot at the bottom with a 90 lb receiver 
on top of it?  They do this all the way to the back of the trailer right 
up to the door.

Then when the trailer reaches its destination, the unloaders have metal 
rods with hooks on the end to unlatch the doors.  Whatever has settled 
against the door will fall out.  That can be more than 8 ft, and  I 
wouldn't want my receiver falling that distance, would you?  Most of the 
time the heavier packages are at the bottom or near it, but no 
guarantees.

Being a union shop the package handlers will not tell anyone about a 
fall like that, unless a boss sees it.  That is one of the few things 
that can get them in trouble.  I do not ship anywhere near the volumn 
you do, but have an account with DHL.  They treat me as your account 
manager with UPS does.  But the big thing is they don't even balk at 
paying for damage and UPS is and has always been a trial to collect 
from.  I have had to theaten them will small claims court on legitimate 
claims.  Not good customer service is it?
