The line of you saying they're charging the customers more is pure propoganda from your own mouth. That would never happen. Don't flame just to flame, man.
FedEx has the same sort of follies, too (
www.cnn.com/2003/US/South/12/18/fedex.fire/). DHL has aircraft that have crashed due to unbalanced loads. **** happens especially at this time of the season. Just be glad that poor driver didn't die trying to get your pkgs to you. We just lost a driver in Lincoln, NE to a grain truck this fall and an Omaha one to a menards delivery truck when he was sitting at a stop light. Don't flame on dangerous situations like that. Show some holiday spirit instead.

LOL...from my own mouth huh? Yeah I just made that up because I hate UPS, come on please. lol. The following is from a local news site. Please read on and stand corrected.
Earlier this week, we told you about a UPS truck that caught fire between Pocatello and Salt Lake City.
Today, a corporate spokeswoman says their fire was caused by bearings in one of the trucks wheels.
Representatives say they're working individually with the customers whose packages were destroyed in the fire.
Reporter Adam Rodriguez spoke with some customers who say that's not the case.
Lori Vaughn: "Brown can't do anything for us anymore, because they just messed up for the last time."
Lori Vaughn is mad. Two Christmas packages for her granddaughters in California were destroyed when a UPS truck caught fire.
The shipping giant offered to resend for a price.
"UPS says if we wanna guarantee it for Christmas, it'll be 105 dollars."
A lot more than the 22 dollars she paid originally.
Susan Mazza: "I think that yeah, they should have shipped off all the packages for nothing or half price."
And it may be a while before Lori sees any money from UPS. So daughter Susan and granddaughter Rainey shopped all morning to replace the lost presents.
This afternoon, it was cutting, wrapping, packing and taping. But this time, they sent the package through the United States Postal Service... With better results.
Lori Vaughn: "It went fantastic. Thank you U-S Post Office."
And Lori Vaughan isn't the only unhappy UPS customer. This afternoon, we spoke with Marlis Fulton, a Pocatello woman who also had packages destroyed in the truck fire.
Fulton says UPS wants a copy of the receipts for all the items she sent; then she can anticipate a settlement sometime in the next 6 to 8 months, but nothing in time for Christmas.
