The box contained a new motorcycle jacket. It survived with only some scrapes to the outer plastic bag it was in. Which actually is somewhat heartening since if it can survive UPS then it will certainly help protect me from road rash if I take a spill.
The envelope contained PMag 30 round mags for an AR and Glock OEM magazines. The plastic bags for the Pmags were cut and scraped up pretty badly but the magazines themselves appear to be okay. The plastic blister packs each Glock mag came in were dented and the cardboard backing was folded and dented but again, being fairly strong plastic the magazines themselves appear to be okay.
The people I ordered the magazines from need to share the blame - not for the torn up envelope but that they'd use one in the first place instead of a decent cardboard box. I've noticed lots of shippers, Midway is bad about this as well, will put several hard items loose inside a mailing envelope. Even given normal care in the shipping they get bounced around and banged into each other inside an envelope like that. I've had to send a few things back to Midway for being damaged beyond hope inside an envelope when even a small cardboard box with some padding/packing to stabilize the items would have seen them arrive safely.

Yup, schitt happens with any of the carriers. Good quality, discreet packaging solves many problems.
Hell...Reloading/Shooting are still my favorite things to do,besides play in the box the kids came in.................

Glad the Gangsters are still paying YOU.............. They've bankrupted our regional pension plan. Everyone took a 30% cut, across the board, October 2019 in order to preserve the fund until it is completely bankrupt in 2028. The Gangsters union leaders can all burn in hell, AFAIC.

The LAST time I relied on UPS they destroyed a $3000 antique rifle along with a $400 wagon box.
They will NEVER get another dime from my pocket.
I am..........disturbed.

Been driving Brown since the Reagan administration. Your driver is lazy and/or doesn't care. Ain't NO WAY that box should have ever been loaded on his truck............ Ain't NO WAY that I'd hand that to a customer. That one gets "futured" on my truck. It goes back for a PM supervisor to inspect for damage and re-wrap.

Uh oh - I heard twilight zone music. It's funny you say that. Not to diverge the thread too much but my soon to be ex-wife got into a large gun safe - the big kind with rows of 1" steel bolts coming out of the door - in about 10 minutes with a standard claw hammer and a ton of rage. True story, she busted the lock completely off and got it open. Fortunately I had emptied the contents when I had moved out of the house.

PS......... The accordian box is the product of a belt jam.
Belts in the sort hubs go faster than you can run on. If something causes a jam.........there WILL be casualties. Not defending anything. Just that the equipment and methods it takes to move 22 million packages a day will destroy packages sometimes. It sucks when it's yours or mine.

Yeah, I''m not really ranting since most of the time packages sent by UPS, FedEx or USPS are delivered in decent shape. I just thought it was a bit unusual to have two of them savaged like this in such a short time. Being the fire, it was my duty to start a bitching thread...

What Yoder said and avoid letter / envelope size. They can get under the conveyor guard and get chewed up.
Small box is better.

We have one of those $40 porch cameras that sends a video of delivery to my wife's cell phone.
