I write that and they say that there is not guarantee that it will be handled in the direction I would like them to handle it in.

I personally will never EVER write Fragile or Handle with care or This side up on any package I send. My niece & nephew both work for major shippers and told me when some coworkers see that on any package,they single it out & target it for abuse...As if you're telling that employee that your package is special over everyone elses and you want special treatment.
I have only received 2 packages in my life that were severely damaged and both had those sayings written on them. You should always wrap the inside like it's a Ming Vase,but never call attention to as so.

Exactly what my UPS driver says. Do NOT draw attention to anything you are shipping. Says it is unbelievable what the handlers do at the big hubs like Chicago and Rockford with packages marked FRAGILE etc.

Ha, that is funny. We try to make ours just fit in the crowd...Never write anything on them and just make them bomb proof. See the perfectly preserved one in the pile...that is probably one of ours
