almost lost a $1,600 package
what if you ordered a bucket of weights and they replace it with weights
How did they ALMOST lose it?
Put very cheap weights inside. They just might replace them with more expensive weights. Profit!
USPS is the best, given you live in America. They're pretty reliable.
the thing is if you're buying the cheapest weights available, chances are the shady postmen are also buying the same cheap weights so they have to spend as little money as possible. someone's likely already tried this, and if they opened the package they would know and just ship it anyways since it's of no use to them
Buy five 5lb weights and label the package with 50lbs. They'll take them and replace them with 50lbs of weights, and not 25.
People here use KGs
Buy five 5kg weights and label the package with 50kg. They'll take them and replace them with 50kg of weights, and not 25.
We actually have better UPS guys than FedEx (horrible). The only odd thing is that the UPS guys seem to have a complex against customers. One time, the doorbell rang when I was standing right by the door, I immediately looked out the hole, and the guy was gone. Thing is, they do it every time. It seems they tiptoe to the front door, drop the package, get in running stance, bump the doorbell, and go dashing for the truck.
