<p>[QUOTE="mirana, post: 9753751, member: 79705"]I had a family member who worked for one of the non-postal shipping services. The pay looks decent, but it turns out you work way more hours then it's worth, in terrible conditions, so there's a turn over. They said shipping services attract a lot of people with records who can't work elsewhere. She could have them on video stealing or deliberately damaging stuff, and they would get fired for about a week and then hired again when they couldn't find drivers. I once had to report a driver stalking one of our female workers (actually tried to follow her into our backroom) and was told "oh yeah, he keeps getting reported for that...he also sells bootleg clothing out of his truck." <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie64" alt=":meh:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>One of of my items, they straight told me it was a ripped open, empty box.
