Bad Shipper Makes Good
It’s funny what a difference a day or two can make. After posting my horrific experience with my satellite radio service, a few days later I had an experience that went from bad to good in one short call. This week I ordered paper – a lot of paper. I print a lot. Any way, I had a morning meeting, so wasn’t around when the delivery arrived, otherwise who knows how things might have gone. When I get back, I find two large boxes waiting for me, clearly my order. One of them, no joke, looks like it’s been hit by a car: taped up, scraped like it had been dragged down the road. I haul both boxes in and unpack them; the first box was fine, everything was intact and the paper was nicely tucked in the reams. The other box, well, all I can say is “they tried”; the first couple reams were split open, which would have been okay, until I got about halfway down the box and found dirty, ruined paper -a few reams were split open completely, I’m not even sure all 500 sheets were in their respective reams. They taped it in so it wouldn’t move. Nice…not.
