That's awful. All of it. And frustrating because, now maybe this is just me, but I get excited to open the box. Especially since the only time I purchase from them is when I make ill timed drunk bids.
From the look of it, the local Uline rep needs to call on them....
My excitement deflated as soon as I saw it on the porch. I was like "oh oh'
I remember reps coming in and showing me um.. "shipping solutions " and talk about costs. Leave me a catalogue and " let me know" what samples to send me to try. Hey. I'd always get a free lunch..
I know there's manufacturing guys here. You know the game. We tried cheaper tape once. Big mistake. I actually solved the case using the company refridgerator. When it got cold, the tape would let go.
There are other posts here with crooked haphazard boxes. My last one from the same site was a different style. More like the common boxes you break down to recycle. Yank the tape off the top and bottom, fold it flat, and lay it at the curb.
But these are much lighter duty. Very cheap. The box was also not glued square. (side seam) So the flaps did not line up. So the top had this tent-type gap going on. So the tape didn't close the entire box. But enough that my order arrived complete.
These guys are just going way too cheap man.
Crooks these days just steal the box. Crooked order pickers just don't put the item in. Box pinchers are in route and have the gear to open and reseal the box. I've gone through these claims in prior employment.
Nobody ripped open the bottom and then resealed the top. That shitty box and tape job actually came from the vendor.
Someone saves the company $20k this quarter and gets a commission. Meanwhile downstream, I get this crap. That's what's going on.
