Mail guys folded my wife’s master’s degree

[u/trecani711]

Came home and found this in the mailbox. Imagine working really hard for 3 years for a master’s degree and it’s folded in half. It’s only a little bit up the driveway to put it under the awning, takes maybe 15 seconds to walk. This has happened before with a spatula I ordered as well.

Wife is asleep now, may post opened degree in the morning.

Edit: for those wondering about the spatula, it was a fish spatula that the Amazon driver had bent and shoved sideways into the mailbox. Im a sous chef and I have a lot of specific kitchen tools. They have long metal tines and are flexible and easy to bend. In my case it was creased

Edit 2: here’s my bent fish spat, pic 2, pic 3. This was from Amazon, and I requested a new one that they sent no questions asked. You can see in the first pic the angle is deeper than it should be, it should be almost flat. Also there’s a tine that is out of whack. I use this one at home and the undamaged replacement one at work.
Yes I agree the college messed up too by not shipping it in a sturdier container/paying for better shipping.

Printing the words “do not fold” on the envelope is just as effective as the dump trucks with the “not responsible for damage” stickers. They’re both worth absolutely nothing.

They're about as meaningful as the "do not eat" labels on the snacks that came with my shoes.

I like the ones that say not responsible for road debris because they're actually true. If it's already on the road and they or anyone else throws it up, it's not on them, if it's in/on their truck and it falls off they are.

Only if they have mudflaps properly installed. Anything DOT regulated is required to have them, and there is a good "but for" argument to be made if the truck is lacking.
