Gotta Love UPS


Anyone want a 200 gallon Tropic Marin bucket contaminated with ??? Seems that UPS broke the bucket on it's way to my house. I come home and find a plain white bucket with "Tropic Marin" printed in magic marker on the side sitting on my front porch. Called my e-tailer and complained. They were great, and have a new bucket to me. But I cannot believe that UPS tried to deliver it in this other bucket. My e-tailer told me to dispose of the salt as it is likely contaminated.

I am just guessing, but I imagine that it was dropped, split open at the UPS facility, and someone shovelled it into a new bucket. I can just imagine what wonderful things would have happened to my tank had I decided to use the salt.

Luckily I am not afraid to complain.

-Chris

I worked at the UPS loading dock one Christmas. It was pretty intense. I hope nobody got hurt when they dropped the bucket and salt went everywhere.
