USPS doing their part to eliminate old Mopar parts

When I was a LOT younger and before the dubya dubya dubya was much of 'a thing' I've bought and sold a fair number of amateur radio/ test equipment/ etc equipment. it DOES NOT MATTER how well something is packaged, if the gorilla at U-whatever drops the damn thing off the back of a truck to the bottom of a 10' loading dock IT WILL BREAK.

We used to package the 'ell of of something, and then take that tox,.............well padded........and pack it into a bigger box, ALSO well padded. Even then sometimes "stuff" happens. You put "do not drop" etc on stuff and I think this is a challenge for "them."

UNTIL WE THE CUSTOMERS DEMAND that shippers stop throwing and dropping **** IT WILL BE BROKEN

Here's the bottom line, folks. THERE IS NO REASON, EVER, to drop, throw or otherwise launch a package. Motorized equipment should be fenced/ guarded/ etc to prevent falls.

One of the last times I flew somewhere, I witnessed the "crew" loading baggage up a conveyor onto an aircraft. One bag fell off the conveyer from ? 10' up. Someone picked it up, threw it back on, AND IT DROPPED OFF AGAIN!!!
