HIGH-larious.

Hyuk, yuk, yuk !
Yukkity, yuk, yuk, yuk !

A cousin of mine used to work for UPS in a warehouse while in college for spending money.
They used to DELIBERATELY "Boot Print" boxes without damaging them just to freak-out customers.
If the box was labeled "Fragile" it automatically became a "target".
Total HOOT !

Wow, what a saint! What a great story. I can only imagine how greatly you were to him.

Sure was! He stops in every now and then on the route to chat because we both have cattle. He was a senior when I was a freshman so we played baseball and football together. Well, in baseball we played together anyway. As a freshman I was only JV in football, so we only practiced together...us little guys were cannon fodder.

That’s great. Really glad he was there when he was. Oh, by the way, I meant to say how “grateful” you were to him instead of the “greatly” that I wrote, but it seems you understood what I meant.

USPS success story: I placed an AC Supply order which was mostly motors on November 30th. They shipped on December 1st. The box arrived this morning with no visible damage. All motors and the two kits inside were in fine condition. So...it can go as it should. This was actually the fastest (and with the least apparent rough handling) I have seen in an AC Supply order with motors since the beginning of the pandemic.

They did send one kits-only order via UPS in the last couple of years when things would sit at "package acceptance" in USPS tracking for days and days....

My orders from AC Supply have always been extremely slowwwwww to arrive.
Instead of USPS First Class, I think they ship USPS LAST Class.
Great prices, less than average shipping.

Here's a doosey.
When I was living in SW Florida, I lived in the SW part of town.
Someone had my same address in the NW part of town.
I was expecting several models and they did not arrive.
I emailed the company and they shipped out and I should have them by now.
I contacted USPS to find out what happened and they said they were delivered to my address.
No such way were they delivered to me.
They figured out the address mixup and I contacted the person at that address.
A man answered , I told him of the situation , he asked his teenage son if he got a box delivered recently.
The son said " No". The man pressed him and the kid relented.(you could hear him knock him around)
The kid had several of my packages under his bed and he opened every one!
Dad apologized and said he would drive them right over to me.
The kid was beaten and sobbing.
The Dad said his kid was forbidden to touch any package or mail in the future.

And YES, Idiot, Moron, and Imbecile ARE legitimate medical descriptors of mental deficiency.
Lummox and Numbskull should be added.
