It is against FedEx policy. These are terms you would agree to if signing for a shipment.

Cash is commonly banned by most logistics companies. As it is openly stated that it will not be carried by FedEx, it’s no stretch that the police will consider it contraband.

Source: I work for a competing company that also will not ship cash. Any of our employees will tell you no. Ship cash at your own risk.

I too watched ‘Rebel Ridge’ last week on Netflix.

I’m an employee in the U.S., working for a large international shipping company with a yellow and red logo. We’ve been struggling to maintain profitability stateside since the COVID shipping boom ended. Shein and Temu are basically keeping the U.S. operation afloat making up a significant double digit percentage of our revenue currently.

We can’t compete domestically as our rates are sky high compared to brown and purple and we’ve become overly dependent on these Chinese retailers. I’d say this is a good signal to find a new gig.

Many of us who live in the U.S. feel the same way.

About as many corners as were cut in the construction of the Galactica.

It’s called “The Handmaids Tale”.

They made it in book and TV show form. Minus the birth problems which kick off the societal change in that story, we’re quickly headed for it.

Annoyingly, many vehicles sold in the U.S. don’t have a tow rating except for large SUV’s and trucks. It makes it difficult to know if you can safely tow a trailer with your small crossover.

I owned a Honda HR-V a few years ago. In Europe, it was rated for around 1,500 lbs. In the U.S., they just slap “not recommended for towing” on it and tell you to buy something larger.
