I have a great story about shipping/labeling etc. for everybody who has had it up to here with self-appointed safety experts.. We ship samples by air regularly, and given the details required, do something on labels, or shipping papers, incorrectly a high fraction of the time.....say 25%. Our shipper TRIES to charge us for the cost of returning the goods with the incorrect labels, or papers. In order to do this, he must get a signature that we have received it. When this happens he bills us something like $70 for returning say 10 pounds, the full 5 miles from his terminal to our door. HOWEVER, here is where the fun starts.... the value in the container is usually less than $10.00, and so we refuse to take the shipment back, and refuse to sign for it... he cannot bill us, and is stuck with a hazardous material... which he has to pay to dispose of! We usually get a sheepish phone call a few days later BEGGING us to accept the shipment back, WITHOUT SIGNING FOR IT... so they cannot bill us... One for the people who actually work for a living...
