[Milsurplus] OT: UPS Ground Insanity

[Bry Carling]

I knew of a company that used UPS because they got a deal that was too good to refuse. 
They did get an amazing discount. However, the number of packages that arrived with holes 
in them, deep indentations from mis-handling, breakages, etc. even though they use state of 
the art protective packaging.... it would amaze you. The guys have shown me numerous 
packages with huge holes and corrugations. They get that quite frequently. BUT boy is it 
cheap.

As with everything, you get what you pay for. Unfortunately with UPS most people pay retail.
