Hey all,

I was curious as to how many people have had bad experiences with UPS. I have a couple friends from school who work there and they have repeatedly warned me away from using UPS to send anything important. They said no one cares if they smash boxes, and will occasionally throw boxes around just to amuse themselves.

For my story, I ordered a very hard to find pair of speakers from a store online. It took me a while to find them, and when I did, they sent them to me via UPS. A week passes... no speakers.... another week goes by. No word. Finally, they add a message to my order status. "Package destroyed in shipment. Returning to sender."

So after two weeks of waiting, I find out UPS smashed them. Then, I find out that those had been the last two the store had in stock. Lucky me.
