I'm boycotting UPS. I walked out of there

I went there to ship a vintage cpu, and the gentleman behind the

condition", followed by "At UPS, we don't want to deliver any packages
that don't look good", and finally "we can't have the box falling
apart and it's contents coming out".
Use FedEx. My company often finds they are cheaper than UPS.
FedEx does tend to be less expensive, though I've had a number of items
permanently lost when they were shipped via FedEx. One was an old 1970s
model Code-a-phone 700 answering machine device. I still don't see how
they could lose a 25lb metal box.
