Oh yeah, I had another brown story to tell.

One day at school when I was walking across campus, this brown guy was pushing a dolly carrying a couple of rather large boxes on it. He hit a small bump and the top one dropped off, probably about a good 4 feet or so. It tumbled a couple times when it hit the ground. He then picked it back up and stuck it back on the top, looked pretty heavy. He then hit the SAME bump again and it dropped off again, rolled a couple times. He just picked it up and plopped it back on the dolly again.

As I got closer, I realized that these were computer monitor boxes, and he had also plopped it back on the top with "This side up" on the bottom. What a tool.

And then people wonder why things are defective when they're brand new.

I've never had a problem with FedEx. In one of my coop jobs we shipped a bunch of computers FedEx and they all arrived safely and in a timely manner. I've had good and bad success with UPS, but I personally feel they suck. I've had lots of things shipped to me Airborne, and I've shipped a couple things, but it's all been documents and the likes. They've done a great job, I can ship cheap cuz my co. has a deal with them, but again, it's only been documents, not a lot of damage to happen to those unless they get rained upon.
