<![CDATA[shipping with the brown truck]]>I don’t know if its just my bad luck or not, but I got another package that the box was destroyed and some of my order was not in it. (Remember the grinder Jonathon). Waltons took care of me and I thank them for their great customer service. After talking to the UPS guy, he said they are having a ton of trouble with packages being smashed, ripped open,and on and on. I don’t know if there is another option like FedEx or if they are to expensive. The driver did say Waltons do a great job of packaging, so he knows its on their end.

I have two orders coming from Waltons. They are already going to be late date to holidays and Sundays. Brown doesn’t drive seven days a weeks longhaul like all the other services. It always takes longer than the four days it should to reach me from Wichita to Washington.

Now only rarely will an item arrive damaged but it is contained so not to ruin the rest but a lot of times to outer box is toast

My FedEx package sat in St. Paul, MN for two days without moving, just left at 2 AM this morning. It’s 1700 miles between us, they say it will be delivered Monday, Just had snow in the mountain passes last night which closed them for several hours, we have more snow on the way for the mountains tonight, up to 3 feet and it’s heading east. I don’t think they will make it on time as usual. Going to cost the vendor the shipping costs for being late. Now it is in BUCHANAN, VA, 2,753 miles away and the wrong direction. I guess it is getting frequent flyer miles. Know I won’t get it by Monday unless they send it Memphis and air freight it. Talk about dropping the ball. That’s why Amazon kicked them to the curb.

I have shipped things to myself from here back to here by mistake by putting the wrong ship via in an order. We have never tried doing it for testing but it might be an interesting idea!

  1. I keep most of my boxes so I can go back and look at damages. I get about 6 to 10 packages a week from all over the country. Oddly, the only two damaged boxes were both from Waltons. One had more tape than box at delivery. To keep them honest, have you tried to ship packages of different sizes and weights to employees in the area as a check point to see if damages are being made at the point of origin.
  2. About a bit more than 50% of the other vendors are shipping in double walled boxes. Wouldn’t guess that stopping a few damaged goods would would be less than boxes with higher burst strengths. Amazon seems to be shipping items to me in doubled boxed for added protection, then again, I live about 10 miles from their distribution center. I just hate waste, and hope this may be of some help to both Walton’s and their customers.

Suppose to get it on Monday. I don’t think it will make it. I’ll just ding the merchant for the costs, they can deal with FedEx for the late delivery. The more the merchants complain, the more compliant these delivery companies become or they loose the business.

The other carriers are shipping hundreds of miles away from these locations at times so I understand the angle. My packages initially arrive within 4 hours from my location then will be held at a smaller facility 45 minute down the road before transferring to another 2 hours from there before making the 75 minute journey to its destination. It’s generally a 2-3 day delay. UPS on the other hand accepts my packages and will show few updates until they attempt a delivery on a day I can’t receive it several days in advance. Lol

At first I thought the Long Haul driver had a girl friend there.

Nearly every order lately arrives beat the hell up. With exception of a vac bag order that didn’t arrive because UPS lost the contents we have had very little loss and nothing that called for outright replacement. Are boxes supposed to be round? USPS has also had it out for me lately and completely destroyed a couple packages from Chef

The orders ship fast and packaged with heavy duty cardboard.
