If I was running a business I wouldn’t piss off any people whose money I could take. That’s just me though. I’d release some PC crap about supporting the Constitution and being law abiding... blah blah blah if and only if I couldn’t keep my pie hole shut.
Tried it once, was not really cheaper.
They're liberal, that's why. They act on feeling, not thought, and when they think they think more about looking 'woke' for their peers and peer groups than they do about how anything they do and say affects their business.
There's a freaking gun accessory manufacturer who's CEO said something similar and who's wife raised money for an anti-gun group. Now that I'm writing this I can't remember the company name for sure or I'd put it here. You think he actually gave thought to what that would do to his customer base before he said it? Why would he do something so logical as think about it beforehand?
No; they don't think it will affect the bottom line enough, or they don't think at all. The don't think we'll notice and even if we do they think we'll be stupid and not look for places to spend money that don't think we're all ignorant barbarians.

^^^This. IMO, when asked "Hey, what's your corporate stance on assault rifles?", the obvious response should be "I'm a shipping company, why would we have a corporate stance on assault rifles? And for the record, we try not to stand on the packages."
You can always tell a left leaning company by their willingness to get involved in political topics.
Pussy corporations with their fake social consciousness posturing make me want to jump up and tell these people that they are full of shit. I don't know any other way to say it.
Politics aside, in my experience, if you stamp fragile on every side of a box, ship it to my house via Fed Ex, it’ll arrive looking like it was run over multiple times. I’ll bet money on that.
Funny timing, yesterday I got a pallet in from FedEx. Dropped of course, we had to count the boxes to make sure they all made it.
Happens with UPS too though. It must be hard transporting expensive gear around without beating it with a sledge.

Sounds like the FedEx I know all too well. I ordered a case of cleaning solution from Amazon a couple years and FedEx broke/damaged it every single time. Seriously, Amazon tried to ship it four times. Four. Damn. Times. The closest it ever got was to the FedEx depot in town and then *bing* "This package has been damaged and undeliverable. It is being returned to the shipper".
4 cases of cleaning supplies at $35 each and then Amazon refunded me the original purchase price. So Amazon had to eat a $175 loss because FedEx could handle a case of Fabuloso without screwing it up.

I read an article on Cracked.com where they interviewed a former employee of one of the big shipping companies (I think UPS but I don't really remember) and the utter lack of any semblance of a fuck given by those people handling packages is unimaginable. Literally standing on packages to load the trucks to the roof, holes in the roof so water drenched packages during a hard rainstorm, and throwing packages into trucks.
