Re: Charlie's Soap is well worth the $20
I was gonna post something about throwing around the "stupid" label and/or criticizing somebody (on this site no less) for spending a little more to get better performance.. but then I decided that I've beaten the "tried all the others, decided based on direct comparison/observation" topic to death on enough of these MF-detergent threads and, more importantly, perpetuating an  dynamic is something I'd rather avoid.
Setec Astronomy- Yeah, that InstaOffice deal was nice while it lasted. IIRC it was you who turned me on to it. |

Huh, thanks for the heads-up on that. I am quite certain I purchased from Instaoffice. If Charlie's will ship from free, I'll buy more. I'd like to catch it on sale....

Even though I cleaned the FEDEX terminal and various other points, they are VERY fasting in there shipping. |

it is fedex. I have more issues with them then UPS. Based on the rip, it was thrown down. At least I saved some..... about 50% (based on weight). I used what I could save via the open box. Even the Fedex guy was like, "what is this and we have a leaker".....I need to order more; but, how since they messed up the last deal. If I order more, can I use at least UPS? Even the wife was like what did you order, it is all over the place. I did one cleaner load and 2 clothes loads. |

Re: Charlie's Soap is well worth the $20
Are you sure it was packed appropriately?
On another note, and quite contrary to your experience, I have had more losses with UPS, then any other shipper......

There was no paper on the top of it like the bottom. Maybe that was it. No clue. What you see is how I opened it. |

Re: Charlie's Soap is well worth the $20
Yeah, thats kind of why I asked. It doesnt appear to have been packaged properly. I would get with Taylor over at Sutherland and see what he can do for you.......Send him the pics, and let him know "had there been more packaging, this may have possibly been avoided". It doesnt look like it was FedEx's disregard.

Hi Patrick. I don't mean to but in but I receive about 3 packages a month, mostly from UPS and I have never had a problem yet! They have always delivered timely and in really good condition.
Maybe I have just been lucky, I don't know. However the package you received (as opened) has the smell of disgruntled employee or poltergeists.
I think if you contact them with the pictures as someone suggested, things can probably be settled with no problems. Sorry dude, sometimes it's just a *****!

Re: Charlie's Soap is well worth the $20
Change, I dont use UPS when I ship anything. However, when I recieve anything that has been shipped with UPS, in particular from the east coast, its more often then not, delivered in not the best of condtion. This is based in comparison with some of the other shippers i.e. FedEx, DHL or good ol USPS.
I should have taken pics the other day (video rather) of this guy loading a truck, it would have made headlines and I probably would have gotten free shipping for the rest of my natural life. (Not mentioning the company though)
Please dont take this as argumentative, its just BME (been my experience).
