I am thinking Bill, out on the islands, even though it IS America, a LOT of things are VERY different. Probably in a good way!

I am well over 50% damage on fans this season, and that is with all 3 carriers - - problem is with the packing, period.

I think most people ignore the warts in paradise. The hurricanes, Tsunamis, volcanoes, sharks, and worst of all, those dang centipedes. (we have hostile natives, too, but I can deal with those.)But if you have osteoarthritis, like I do, the weather is much more kind to you than the cold. You never get used to everything costing 25% more just because of the freight charges. You can lower those but it takes 4-6 weeks for anything to get here. Cheers, Bill

If you've ever watched the original Ace Ventura, the first several minutes of the movie is poking fun at postal/package delivery people where they show Ace as a package delivery man and he's just kicking and "dribbling" the package that is clearly marked "fragile" all over it down the side walk and down the hallway to its final destination and you can clearly hear the contents getting broken, so when I saw that I immediately thought of this.

I think of it as a challenge hoping the intent of the word is met but... Apparently it just means it is from the country of Italy!! ð ðĪĢð

I have seen that exact same thing happened in my FedEx terminal. Usually happens when a heavy object (like car parts) has next to no packing material in the box so the weight can freely shift. It usually has to be taken care of by shutting the belt down or someone climbing up to get it. Always a PITA when it happens though.

It has a nice rhythm, tho, doesn't it? Could dance to it, maybe. Oh, and don't bother watching the whole thing. The cameraman never bothered to reach out and stop the madness, except maybe after the video. Cheers, Bill

Too late! I watched the whole thing, hoping the box would make it up the machine eventually. It looked like there were a few moments where the box would gain a couple of inches.

The package does actually gain a couple of inches on the conveyor belt but then is forced back down when it hits the conveyor belt's metal seam.
