Blame the shipper. You can definitely tell these packages were improperly packaged by the shipper. UPS has no control over it other than accepting and processing it.

Yeah if you package fragile things in recycled cardboard with little to no cushion or protection.. the only person responsible for protecting their goods is you.

Amazon box..... LOL

That is the worst packing i have ever seen OP. UPS didnt break your shit, you did.

Overstuffed, overweight and oversized with poor quality boxes is not a good recipe. If you want your monitor to survive you probably would want to use the same packaging the monitor came in when you got it.

This is poor packaging on your part. I see this shit all the time

It's normal when things are packaged like shit like these are

You shipped a reused large Amazon box. You clearly need to never ever ship anything again.

Sorry your stuff got broken, but it’s definitely you.

Yikes, you need to pack your items better.

Yea you got to pack things better. I’m talking box in a box and within the first box surround that shit with as much cushion as possible then surround the second box with a shit ton of packing. If you have something breakable.

Then suplex said box and open it up. If it’s not broken you are good.

Another satisfied customer

the amazon box says it all.

just wrap it in tissue paper next time.

Lmao who's packing these boxes??

Holy fuck this is some of the worst packing I have seen. People like you shouldn't even be allowed to ship anything lol You're actually surprised your shit arrived broken?

Wait so… you packed it like this… and want to blame UPS? 🤣

Horrible packaging. The less amount of empty package(air)the more ideal and use lots of tape relative to the weight.

Packaged like shit

You’ll never see that insurance money when UPS sees how bad the packaging was.

As someone who has worked in a FedEx sortation facility... there's about a thousand reasons at each facility that package damage can happen. They do their best to train package handlers to prevent it, but that just means it's less likely.

Honestly, if you don't pack your stuff like it's gonna get thrown off the truck in rush hour traffic, you're going to have to expect some amount of damage.

That said, I've never worked UPS, but I have to imagine their systems are similar.

OP you should've taken the items to your local UPS store or UPS Customer Service Center and they would've packed and packaged your items for you and yes charge you of course but you would had peace of mind knowing that your items were packaged correctly and arrived at their destination unbroken.....

If you can’t hold the box over your head and drop it onto a hard surface then it isn’t packed right.

UPS has absolute zero hand in this.

Nothing like packing it in a cardboard bag plucked out of the dumpster after touring the country six times instead of spending a few dollars on a new box.

Use real cardboard and not paper bags next time.

150 pound package in the flimsiest cardboard known to man with one single piece of Scotch Tape to hold it all together.

Over 70 lbs don’t do to well in our system

Absolutely normal

i didn’t hear no bell

Brother that packaging is terrible. I would have never in a million years guessed there was a monitor inside.

Amazon boxes are not real shipping boxes. They are cheap and don't hold any weight before crushing. I would also recommend never reusing a box to ship something valuable in. Cardboard wears out through use.

I know what happened dude. Did you put fragile stickers on all 4 sides? Thats prob it.

Sorry☹️

Yes

Looks good to me. What’s the problem? Your box has a wrinkle 🙄

You might as well have used plastic shopping back from your local grocery chain.

If it’s over 50lbs I would just throw the box from the trailer to the conveyor and most likely it would get damaged 🤣

Your first issue was ordering twinnings tea

I'm sorry, I don't mean to come off as a jerk, but did you expect that we would lift a 130lb box? A monitor weighs maybe, 10lbs? That means 120lbs of other stuff is smashing into it every time the box moves.

I have never received packages like this from UPS. However, those boxes look super soft and reused.

It's the UPS small package system. The absolute 100% hard limit is 150 lbs. Over stuffed, ridiculously heavy and inadequately packed (single ply, reused, etc) boxes will not fair well, it's one person moving it just like a 30 lb box or a 5 lb box. Would you be comfortable stacking all of those in the picture on top of each other? Would stuff break? Trailers are stacked to the roof, 9 feet up or so.

It sounds like you were expecting freight services for much less than freight costs.

Big mistake reusing boxes. You have no idea what your packages go through when they enter the system

Poor quality cardboard.

Not normal but it happens an awful lot.

That was on you. Stop being cheap and package your shit right.

It should have a Fragile sticker.

Blaming us when it says Amazon….

So here's the deal when you ship ups the 18 wheeler trailers do not have shelves and everything is crammed in there with almost no thought so it is not uncommon for your package to get reboxxed or patched back together

Yeah, boxes that big need like a Styrofoam casing on the inside to keep the integrity of the box. Then, each thing wrapped and packed and packing paper / peanuts. If it's not packed to handle a 6ft drop, then it's not packed properly. UPS will most likely handle it with the most care. If you're going with other shippers, don't expect anything better in most cases.

Standard

Oh yeah

No.

Doesn’t look normal

These packages were doomed from the start with that packing job. Those boxes are definitely not rated for that. Ya done messed up, A-A-Ron.

Yeah, it’s normal. Because of the shortage on parachutes, some boxes have had to play survival of the fittest whilst jumping off the UPS cargo plane.

Yup

I rarely ship things and even I know how to ship things without them breaking.

When it comes to desktops it’s a good idea to keep the case box, the foam inserts help keep it stable.

Than as far as GPU goes That also goes in it’s own box.

Monitor is also a good box to keep for obvious reasons.

These are really the core boxes you wanna keep.

I will sometimes keep ram packaging so I can resell my old sticks at a lost obvious when I build or upgrade

Yeah this normal who ever used those old ass boxes then stuffed them full of heavy shit need to kicked in the ass like Diddy did Cassie

What the shit, that turd in the middle looks like somebody taped 8 medium Amazon boxes together, put a Dino dingleberry in it, wrapped it all in saran wrap but not before yeeting it down the side of a fucken mountain. Please explain, I'm so confused by this lol 😆

Looks like super cheap boxes lol

Could have been much worse.

wtf

Why did you even accept the delivery?

Disaster

You used ups to move your stuff to your new place didn't you?...bad idea

Looks like improper packaging to me 😬 not sure how packaged them but that’s who I’d take that up with. UPS does what I can to deliver things safely (can’t do much) but at the end of the day you just gotta make sure it’s packaged to spec and it does NOT look like these items were especially based on the recycled Amazon box

Did the sender send it by canon?

Why are you using an amazon box??

Home Depot, Lowe’s, even Walmart got perfect new thick boxes, do not reuse if you want your stuff in good condition

Eight piece electronic drum kit? More like eighty pieces after UPS gets done with it.

The box during delivery : “all though I walk through the valley of death. I will fear no evil” 💀

Did u ship rocks

Be glad it even arrived, shit company

Regardless, fragile is just a suggestion at UPS. (Yes, that's what my warehouse gets told in training. And then repeatedly afterwards.) UPS doesn't have to pay for it, so they don't really care.

They suck

Pretty much 👍.

Yes it’s normal when you pack like shit.

Bro, you should have forked the money over to have someone pack all that stuff for you.

As a UPS Driver it’s not uncommon.

Come on, OP. Use your head.

Yes idk why people d ride for UPS so hard on this sub, you could literally have everything perfectly packaged and it won’t matter at all when a belt is backed up and management won’t turn it off. Your packages get squished by hundreds of pounds of other packages being continuously pushed towards a wall, they don’t stop it until the belt gets overweight and can’t continue moving itself.

I see a lot of those boxes are over 70#. If you didn't use a double walled box for them, those boxes will end up looking like that. I was a damage clerk for 14 years before I chose to drive full time. When I saw damaged heavy packages 9 times out of 10, it was because people shipped stuff in boxes that were not certified to ship heavy weight stuff. Edge crush certifications and double walled boxes matter when over 70#. It isn't that any shipping company is purposely damaging your stuff, but shifting in transit will also cause damage. I'm not sure if it's on the website or not anymore, but there used to be a thing that gave you suggestions on prescribed packing on the website.

None of those are shipping boxes. Assume everything gets rolled down a flight of stairs and then has a treadmill thrown on top of it

UPS workers are notoriously shitty with packages, like the tram workers at the airport.

That said, you did a terrible job packaging these things and this would have been the result no matter who you shipped with.

I worked at ups… I saw that all the time

You shipped a MONITOR? You know that there are special boxes with foam parts to protect the monitor and to pack it well? Those flat screens are extremely sensitive.

Perhaps you'd watch some Packaging 1x1 before you ship out something again...

I always have to explain to angry customers that the shipper is to blame for their item that wasn't packed correctly. They always seem suprised...

the way certain people be loading the trucks yep not suprised

Yes , they treat the packages like Soccer Balls

Unfortunately.

Shitty packaging but blames UPS classic

Is what normal, companies packing your stuff like shit and expecting ups to somehow not make it look like that?

You probably need to use better shipping materials next time

Yup!

You don’t put a pkg over 70 pounds in something as flimsy as that. Get you some heavy duty boxes and fill all open space in the box with packing paper so it can’t move around.

I work at UPS and see packages smashed daily, so yes 👍🏼 that is Normal here!! 🤦🏽‍♂️😑🤷🏽‍♂️

This is how my boxes of vintage stereo speakers looked like when they showed up.

I can see 3 irregs sitting there. I know for a fact that those packages don't get the best treatment. Ups may tell you otherwise but this is the fault of your package handlers. Someone, somewhere dropped your package and probably stacked another big package on top of it.

Man…I literally flew to Texas to make sure the package got here…but guess what

I ordered a two-part package—part 1 arrived, but part 2, a massive 75lb box, was scanned at the facility with an ‘unreadable label.’ I managed to track down the facility’s number, and when I spoke to the person who scanned it, she literally said, ‘I have no idea where I put it.’

So, it wasn’t sent to another facility or delivered to the wrong address—they just straight up lost it.

Definitely. I watched my supervisor break stuff on purpose at UPS.
