Everyone has bad experiences with some form of shipping from time to time.
I handle shipping and logistics for my company and use USPS, FedEx, UPS and every manner of truck freight regularly.
We’re a racing organization and host an annual awards ceremony at a racing trade show in December. With the show canceled due to COVID, I had to ship about 200 trophies that we would normally hand out on a stage.
The trophies fit perfectly into USPS flat rate boxes, which was ideal as it kept the mailing cost as manageable as possible.
Thankfully we have a regional commercial post office a few blocks from our office. It took van loads to get all of the packages to them for shipping, and I cringed at how many would get lost or damaged. Especially as we shipped them during the holidays, when the news about mail delays were prevalent.
To my amazement, only one was damaged in shipping, all others safely reached their destinations safely.
The hardest part was getting my hands on 200 flat rate boxes during the holidays!
