I am expecting an order to arrive today and next week, both rather small orders, but I guess we shall see, since the one today will be containing lube.
However, I am a small business owner, making children hair bows, so I ship and receive packages of materials all the time. Us small business owners have no other choice other to use USPS to keep shipping down, we use either first class or priority mail and both of those services are not being handled properly anymore. I received a package last friday that was marked fragile three times, and my items were wrapped in bubble wrap twice and some of the contents inside were still broken and looked like the package had been ran over, this is happening to a lot of us.
Now I know, that the inside contents and how they are wrapped and packaged has nothing to do with the post office, but I would say open a support ticket obviously so they know that they need to start shipping better and marking fragile on appropriate packages or just stop shipping those type of products all together, but if your package is in rough shape I would contact and complain to the postmaster as well. This is what all of us small business owners are doing.

I did receive my package yesterday and it was in one of those bubble mailers that many others seem to be getting. However all of my things were bagged separately. Both of my lubes were in a ziplock together, my three free items were in another zip lock together, and then finally my vibrator was separate, all packed in a bubble mailer, shoved in my mailbox.
Sorry for the crappy photo, it was taken on my phone.
This was the first time that I chose to ship through UPS mail innovations. If I remember correctly USPS priority used to be the cheapest and I always chose to ship my items that way. I always received them in a plain brown box, like their policy states.
I am glad to see that none of my products were manhandled and were all safe and sound, so to say, however if this is how they are going to continue to pack their items for UPS mail innovations, I think I might just pay the extra $3 for the USPS priority, if I even order again.
I understand that time are tough and people are trying to cut down on shipping, but if you do that you either a) need to stick with your shipping policy, or b) change it telling us how are products are shipped and let us know. We are the customers, without us, you have no business, we are the voice of the world, hehe, in my opinion at least.
