I doubt UPS has enough bee shipments to have special precautions for it. And bees are shipped.
It is an accident, it is sad, but people can't always be held responsible for dealing with things outside their expectations and experience.
Could you?
I have to disagree. Shipping is what UPS does. If they don't know how to properly ship bees then they should have found out when they took the gig, and under no circumstances was it all right to just do nothing. No excuse for this. As far as it goes, UPS has always been my 'go to' favorite shipping provider, but lately, they seem to be screwing up even more than Fedex, which I personally find almost unbelievable. Meanwhile, someone seems to have lit a fire under Fedex. I hope it stays lit. To me, this goes way beyond being merely sad.
This is not directed at an individual. It is a culmination of some situations I am currently dealing with.
Well, I'll have to disagree here. If you raise animals, it is your job to see that they are correctly shipped and safely shipped.
Cattle, horses, goats, pigs, chickens, bees, etc. It is the shippers job to see that they are safely shipped. I do know bees and chickens are mailed as well as UPS.
You can't guarantee your shipment will be properly handled. Stuff happens. You do the best you can. What is with pilloring people because they made a mistake, or because an accident happened?
People now act like they and they alone are perfect. Blame someone, find someone to blame and everything will be worked out. A la Harry. . . It's not a perfect world. That's a huge part of the problem. It's easier to hate on others than to admit it isn't all puppies and rainbows and work together to fix problems and issues. .
And yes I'm angry and have had a bad last few weeks. And if people would stop pointing fingers and spend more time getting something productive rather than pointing fingers and "did so" "did not" this old world might just accomplish something. Blame and indignation has become a hobby.
@Sooner , and it's easier for people to just let stuff go rather than hold someone accountable for their actions. "Oh well, it happens. Too bad, so sad."
Nope. Not acceptable at all. People provide services of all different kinds. If I take my car to a mechanic to fix my brakes and he tells me he can handle the job, I expect that he can handle the job. If I get in my car and pull out and end up in an accident because my brakes fail, I'm holding him responsible. I don't want to hear him tell me that he shouldn't have taken on the job because it was the first time he was ever doing brakes. And then try to blame me because I should have known he didn't know how to do brakes even though he told me he did.
UPS acceptable a shipment, they hold themselves out to be shippers and said they could handle the job. Well they couldn't and now they need to be held responsible. Don't tell people you can do something if you can't.
I also don't understand where the idea comes from that people can only be upset about one thing at a time. I can be upset about bees, drunk drivers, people driving on phones, kids left in hot cars, the rampant shootings, etc.
