UPS does make sure our shippers know we do not have climate control and warn them that we will pay no claim due to damage from temperature extremes. You are right that online shippers should make it clear to their shoppers that there is a risk. Fresh fruit shippers are always replacing orders due to freezing temps.
But think about how expensive it would be to put heaters and coolers in every truck, trailer and plane just to handle a few items. And what happens when you have one item that needs to be kept frozen and something else that absolutely will be ruined if it freezes? And they both need to be loaded in the same trailer?
The logistics are more than even UPS wants to love!

I delivered croquet balls the other day. Or where those Florida oranges?
Non of the delivery companies vehicles cargo area area climate controlled be it Fed Ex or UPS. Also unless it is perishable food any that gets shipped to a Walmart store or warehouse isn't done in a climate controlled trailer.
If every trailer and truck that delivered packages where climate controlled your would be paying a lot more for the products that you buy now.
No. I do not live near anything .That is why my rent is cheap.
I guess I am just ignorant. I have had things shipped for years, and never had any climate-related issues. Just surprised. I had no idea shipping parcels was this dangerous.
Like...has it always been this way? Or is it new? Like the whole thing where UPS doesn't hand-deliver items and require a signature like they used to? Now they just throw it on your steps and run away as fast as they can. When did that change, BTW?
Is the no heating or AC a new thing? Or has it always been that way and I got lucky all these years?

Yes indeed. Of course, I suppose you cannot complain too much with free shipping.
It seems like the standards for everything are going further down. Maybe I should take it up with Obama..

Are car trunks not heated/cooled? I would not know. I am not rich enough to afford one. That is why I order home deliver from Wal*Mart

Not with the crazy cost of housing in America these days. Can't live in towns where you have like, average wage-$500 a month with, average rent-$1500 a month. Just insanity. So here we are, where we do not even have the luxury of a Wal*Mart. But we have a roof over our heads.
Honestly, I can just pay the extra 20 cents per pack or whatever at the local food mart, or just use wet toilet paper. I am just in awe and shock at the whole giant ice block delivered to my house today. I googled it and found no other such stories...

I LOLed at the first two. The last one just doesn't make sense. I do not recall stating this. Perhaps you are mixing up threads?

Consider yourself lucky for all the years you did not have a complaint about UPS delivery service. You are way ahead. Some customers complain daily about the service.
