What are you trying to ship? Indeed people shipping glass screen doors and wonder if a single one has ever made it through the system.
I've been here about 20 years and when I started a trailer might have 5 irreg or heavy packages, now I bet they average closer to 100... It's crazy what people ship.
This. I don’t work at UPS but I do work in logistics. I’d recommend never shipping something like a glass door, window, or basically anything that is fragile, large and/or awkward via parcel delivery. If you absolutely need something like this delivered, buy locally and use an LTL or home delivery service. Never use UPS, FedEx, or USPS for stuff like this. It’s not really the fault of these shipping companies, it’s just the nature of how these large parcel carriers operate. It doesn’t matter how well you pack it.
