That’s crazy. It says live fish on the box like man that pisses me off that’s people that just go to work for a freaking paycheck and don’t care about anything.

@absentstars474 26 күн бұрын

I used to work for fedex and i can tell those fish arent packaged correctly to their terms. There should be no movement inside the box. the bags shouldn’t be able to roll around. Also the cardboard box should be inside another larger box with 4 inches of void filler. All packages should be able to survive a fall from like 7 feet or whatever their specific height is. Basically you should pack as though it will be thrown on the ground. I would just buy plastic totes for these large fish boxes. Better safe than waiting on insurance to decide they wont pay out.

Unfortunately the transportation part of it is out of our control. I’m sure everyone dealing with live animals does the best to ship them safely but there’s always that small percentage that tings can go wrong.

Get your shipper to label heavy boxes as [[HEAVY]] and use a strap handle if they know how to make those with plastic straps. It's still not a guarantee the baggage crew won't mishandle them but even a 15% improved chance is worth paying for a few stickers and a strapping machine.

@seansquill8773 26 күн бұрын

Shitty Box’s? What’s your suggestion with airline workers who could care less what the box’s say! The box says live fish and those morons still toss the box’s around without a care in the world.

@yamatosazuske6939 26 күн бұрын

it's cheaper, lighter, and a great insulator. You get large wooden boxes then you're gunna run into shipping troubles because wood is definitely like 3x-5x heavier than Styrofoam while being a shitty insulator for the trip which means you're gunna have to order insulator foam along with it. But this also is a risk in shipment because the heavier it is, the harder it is for the employees to move at shipment who are, mostly but not all, paid by the load not by the hour. Quicker you get it done the more you can do and the more you get paid which means shittier care for the packages, to it loaded faster. What does that mean? It also means careless forklifts will be needed to lift such a heavy shipment and idk about you but I would NOT want someone forklifting my fishes or any animal with a mentality of getting it done asap. The only person you can blame are the careless employees who ignore the "LIVE FISH" logo on the boxes and companies paying by load vs hr, cant tell you how many times these are ignored. Wish there was a shipping company specifically ONLY for the animal trade; any billionaires want to invest in that idea? That's honestly such a huge money maker there wait..

@PredatoryFins 26 күн бұрын

Unfortunately it’s not cheap shitty boxes. These are boxes available. A box this size is around $600 in freight. The only other thing bigger is a wood crate and that’s a whole new set of problems. Some airlines don’t even accept anything that large and heavy. The box would have been fine if it never got tossed around and was properly handled like it should.
