JUST TO REMOVE ANY MISGUIDED PERCEPTIONS ABOUT THE HANDLING OF OUR BOXES.
I WORKED AS AN INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR, FROM THE SUBSTATION IN OUR COUNTY, DELIVERING MAIL AND EXPRESS / PRIORITY BOXES TO OTHER POST OFFICES.
THE MANNER IN WHICH YOUR BOX IS HANDLED HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ITS LABEL OR 'FRAGILE' WARNINGS.
THEY ARE THROWN INTO A BAG AND TOSSED ONTO THE TRUCK PERIOD.... NO GRACE OR SPECIAL HANDLING, BELIEVE ME..
YOUVE HEARD IT FROM THE HORSES MOUTH.
IF THE PLANT IS EXPENSIVE, INSURE IT AND SEND IT EXPRESS, SIGNATURE REQUIRED!

Here is what I was greeted with today by my postal Lady.
I think the world of her, she is a dear and thankfully not responsible for the following.
You would think nothing could escape this damage.
By the grace of God the lil gal was just fine!!
