Ohhhh boy. The shhhhh is gonna be hittin the fan quite soon! You ups guys need to start sabotaging these drones and the command centers that operate them! The company just got approved by the FAA to stand-up their drone network and start using it to make deliveries!!! Theyre thinking by 2025, the network will be fully operational. Couple this with autonomous trucks, and big trouble lies ahead.

The last time I did a claim was for 550. US Postal service slammed a computer supported items internally destroying it. They refused. So I shipped it back to the shop and had them rebuild then hold the item to any buyer for 550. It took 7 months but I broke even and shop got some money out of a lemon.
We don't ship USPS anymore.D.Tibbitt Thanks this. -

Fed Ex and one other courier was able to do a number of deliveries that were flawless. And also high dollar. I don't do more than three a year if that maybe two years...
What I am trying to emphasize is that UPS wants to ship the thing by drone? Have at it. Its not me shipping with them. -
That will be for specialized services and very pricey. It will be used by the medical industry etc.
But I have seen UPS demonstrational videos showing package cars equipped with drones that can be controlled by the driver.
I don't see many UPSers worried about it.LtlAnonymous and FlaSwampRat Thank this. -
