Efficiency in Shipping

[TRnCO]

So my buddy and I did an Alaska hunt two years ago. He killed a brown bear and I killed a moose. Had the hides tanned and the bear skull cleaned in Alaska, then all was to be sent to my buddies house for his taxidermist to do a shoulder mount on the moose, and a rug/wall mount with the bear hide.
Everything was shipped together at the same time from the taxidermist in Alaska back on 12-20-20. The hides and bear skull arrived at my buddies house in about 10 days, BUT the moose antlers were MIA. Finally on 6-8-21, my buddy was contacted that the antlers had been located and sure enough 10 days later they arrived. Only took 6 months to go from Anchorage to middle of Kansas.

How the heck does a crate with 55" moose antlers get mis-placed.

And more recently, I sold a bunch of small caliber bullets to a guy in Cali. Shipped in the flat rate box. Only thing that showed up at his house was the front and the back of the box that I shipped the bullets in. I even used packing tape around the outside of the box to ensure it held together. Way to go USPS, you could screw up a wet dream.

Seems like those idiots place those large packges on a side where there are spacious, and forget to load em to the truck/belt/sorter. This shit happends to me about 2 golf clubs per 100. Just that it is about 2weeks delay ,not 6mo.

Hundreds of FedEx packages are found in Alabama woods

Kinda looks like they are mostly opened, so it's probably just sorting through them looking for the good stuff, and dumping the trash.

It would be interesting to know if they were all given to the same driver (sort of assumed given the questioning of a driver).
Were they marked delivered in the fedex system?
Reported missing/stolen?
Insurance paid out? (lol, good luck)

Could be a secluded spot for a porch pirate to sort through if the details don't fit the driver...

Nov to Jan. worst delays for shipping services.
Angry customers thanks to carriers.

It happened a bit ago. I do recall reading that the landowner "opened a few packages trying to find addresses".

If true that it was the landowner, I'm going to call BS on their excuse. At the very least, they were curious as to the value of contents before deciding if they should do the "right thing". They thought they found a free christmas moment until they realized everything they opened was crap they had no interest in. Best not go to prison over used underwear, rained-on bath towels, and an instapot.

I get about 20 boxes a day delivered by FedEx for my business. Some of the delays have been frustrating boarder line comical. Stuck in Henderson for 5 days even though other boxes on the same order pass right through. 3 boxes on the same truck yet 1 gets sent back to the manufacturer as “address undeliverable”. Pretty much the driver doesn’t want to go back into the truck for the last box. It’s become a joke.

The article pointed to was from just a couple days ago.

Such small items are easy to lose.
