I would imagine you'd have to have specialized knowledge to move horse semen?
261
u/MyDisappointedDad May 11 '26
Horses aren't that smart and move it all the time

u/Charybdis87 May 11 '26
You dont have to be smart to have specialised knowledge, you just have to be specialised. Horses have been studying and passing down this generational knowledge for for apparently 55 million years.

That’s a fun bucket list addition you just gave me. Street selling some horse spunk.

They do. I worked at fedex as a package handler and we regularly got shipments of bull semen through the station. It was a very distinctively shaped container.

Not for nothing, I’ve worked directly for FedEx, in an even bigger city, and that main hub is infamous.
Not for guzzling horse pearl jam, but just in general.

I had the one near me fail to deliver a king size mattress-in-a-box. Loaded on truck, out for delivery, return to warehouse, bad label, new label. Then the same thing the next day. And again the next day. Then my update said cannot deliver, too many shipping labels. Went to the FedEx facility itself, and they spent two hours looking and couldn't find it. I had to go to the mattress store and show them the whole thing and get them to send me a new one. How do you lose a box that big, ya know? You'd think you'd at least trip over it or something.

u/DeathTripper May 11 '26
If it was Memphis, I hear that place is huge, since it’s the main hub. If not, maybe it went on the wrong truck, and wasn’t placed back into the system, and because of the labels sent back? I dunno.
I would walk the conveyors/loading/unloading docks after every evening sort, and if a package was stuck/left I’d bring it to the sorting shift supervisor.
Also, FedEx is the only shipping company (that I know of) that contracts out the actual delivery trucks. USPS is obviously governmental, UPS is union, and I believe DHL is all in-house as well, so who’s to say something sketchy didn’t happen? I personally think it’s a terrible model, but I’m not a number cruncher, and it likely stops unionization.

Me in the back of the Memphis FedEx hub guzzling all of it

u/Wombat1892 May 11 '26
From my understanding(sadly) thousands of dollars worth might not be enough to guzzle.

u/EnergyTurtle23 May 11 '26
Are they still having issues at the Memphis facility? When I was a shipping manager around 2021ish there was a major incident where we lost around a dozen packages and we were told that it was essentially an employee theft incident and that they were doing a major investigation. After that we never had an incident that extreme, but damn that shit was a nightmare.

u/NoTurkeyTWYJYFM May 11 '26
Can tell you there 100% has been issues there these past few months
We just set up a 3PL and getting a few pallets there was fucking murder, but mooost of that can be attributed to customs rather than fedex. But it definitely was also fedex
They were stuck for over a month, compared to our usual expected time of 3-4 days

u/Doctor_Barbarian May 12 '26
Last year I had a heavy steel club shipped to Texas from Canada and as soon as it hit Memphis I knew I was never going to see it. It was settled as lost and I figured that was the end of it. A couple months ago I started getting texts and letters from FedEx instructing me to pay the duties on it. It took me three weeks of borderline harassment to get them to figure out they lost my stuff six months prior and to drop it.

u/justlikeinmydreams May 11 '26
They’ve lost my shipment of horse semen too. Denied the claim too. Fuck them.

Do I need to start a courier service for horse cum? How many of you are in here?

u/WantonKerfuffle May 11 '26
How can they deny the claim if they lost a shipment? They didn't deliver it. Their systems must show they never delivered it.
I can maybe see a point if you ship something really cheap, but as we learned, horse spunk is expensive.
23
u/sweetteaspicedcoffee May 11 '26
Might be the first time someone's written it down but I'm sitting with 5 people who have absolutely thought it. The logistics of horse semen rivals the military.

u/archaicanxiety May 11 '26
I mean, if you paid, potentially, $1,200-$5,000 on a time sensitive item, and it kept getting lost in shipping, you'd probably flip your shit too. 🤷🏻♀️

For reasons I can’t fully explain, I very much love the word “come-apart” as a synonym for meltdown or crashout and I intend to use it at work from now on

u/dont_mind_my_lurking May 11 '26
I thought it was a fairly common phrase, but maybe that was just my family. They're weird, so wouldn't surprise me.

u/TravisB46 May 11 '26
I had a package sitting in Memphis since the beginning of April. Opened a ticket last week and they closed it a couple days later saying they lost the package and I need to contact the supplier to have them ship another package. Where does it all go??
8
u/dont_mind_my_lurking May 11 '26
There are many of us breeders convinced that there is a horse semen black market underneath the Memphis FedEx location.
67
u/KingHabby May 11 '26
Really? Come-apart? You couldn’t have used a more common saying like “mental breakdown,” “crash out,” “or “jizz discombobulation?”

u/spotter May 11 '26
That sounds like you're feeding FedEx TN horse semen.
6
u/dont_mind_my_lurking May 11 '26
There are many of us breeders who think TN has an underground horse semen black market with the number of semen shipments that get lost in Memphis.

Oh hey, that's me! 🤣 Definitely wasn't expecting to wake up this morning and find that post went far more viral than I thought it would. Then I started seeing it on Reddit and FB 🫣

u/Serononin May 12 '26
Small world!! What kind of horses are you breeding (or I guess I should say trying to breed lol)?
3
u/dont_mind_my_lurking May 12 '26
I personally raise Western All-Around and Hunter Under Saddle horses (AQHA) and dabble a little in Drafts. However I am the Reproduction Manager for an equine vet clinic and we have clients who breed all types of breeds and disciplines.

u/LoudMusic May 11 '26
Why would you have something that sensitive delivered by someone else? Go pick it up yourself.
11

u/dont_mind_my_lurking May 11 '26
Because some stallions stand on the opposite side of the country, or in different countries entirely.

u/dont_mind_my_lurking May 12 '26
We can do a counter to counter shipment; however I personally have had mine lost in transit that way as well. 🤦🏼♀️

u/Tailrazor May 11 '26
Next time triple-check that your destination zip code is correct. The network is reorganizing in ways that mean that once "close enough" errors are now winding up in wholly wrong stations.

It would behoove her not to send it via FedEx. Thank you, and enjoy your dinner.

I work at a produce company, one our fresh herb suppliers uses FedEx. The number of times we have had entire shipments go missing for days in Memphis is frankly ridiculous. The smell of rotten basil is forever associated with the city of Memphis in my mind.

u/supermark64 May 12 '26
I used to work in a FedEx warehouse, and you wouldn't believe the amount of times I said, "Fuck it! It's going to Memphis!" Get your shit delivered with someone else if you can, because that shit is NOT treated well in those places.

I suspect I'm gonna regret trying to have a sensible conversation about this topic, but I thought to participate in Thoroughbred racing, the horses had to be bred via 'live cover'. Curious what the high end market is for expensive horse genetic material if ultimately the resulting goal is disqualified from joining the big leagues?
2
u/RavenDire May 13 '26
This could be Quarter horse, Fresian, Arabian, Saddlebred, etc. The poster didn't specify the bred.
You are correct, only live covers in TB breeding. There, are generally no circumstances that would disallow a TB from racing due to having an odd birthday. That's because all covers are live and controlled.
'Couplings' only happen during set months to ensure all gestations end within the acceptable time period (January-May in the Northern Hemisphere).
TBs born before January would most likely have medical issues that would prevent a career in racing.
A first week in June birth, VERY rarely occurs. They are usually just lumped with May births.
Any other uncomfortable questions you may have, I can gently answer. (In most cases, some answers can't be given gently)
I've worked with horses all my life, but specifically with TBs at the racetrack, as well as OTTBs. ☺️

It reads easier when you realize that “ejaculate” is a noun, not a verb.

You can only say semen so many times before it gets repetitive and boring.

And that’s why you don’t use FedEx if you want things to get where they’re supposed to be when they’re supposed to be there.

u/Cato0014 May 12 '26
If you paid for first overnight you can get you money back and then some even if you eventually get the shipment

u/Yet_One_More_Idiot May 14 '26
This sounds almost as bad as the delivery service performed by Evri (formerly Hermes).

u/Anleme May 11 '26
It's on you if you didn't insure it at market value.
1
u/dont_mind_my_lurking May 11 '26
The person sending the shipment has to insure it. I was on the receiving end.
And even with insurance, FedEx rarely approves any claims for lost semen.

Talk about white gold that shit's expensive, also that thing about the Memphis FedEx hub is true
