    I've been shipping/receiving a bunch of usps priority medium/large flat rate boxes the last 6 months, and there's always sloshing sounds with cans - no matter if it's 4 cans or 14 cans. No one seems to care.

    Packages are picked up at my work, so I generally do not have to waste my time going in. Works perfectly.

    Why should they? It's not illegal to ship liquid via USPS, just alcohol. As long as you don't do something that calls attention to your package that suggests you're shipping beer, I don't see why it should make any difference to a USPS worker (or UPS or FedEx worker) if he/she happens to hear sloshing sounds inside.

    Are you directing that to me? On this thread, some people have been saying in certain areas - it's been an issue with them. And that some use noise makers.

    Just pointing out in my area, no problem.


    Sorry if I offended you.

    ??? You didn't offend me. I thought I was essentially agreeing with your observation, pointing out that hearing some sloshing sounds inside a package (without more) should never be grounds for opening up someones package.

    Like others, I get the impression the biggest problem isn't with fedex per se, just certain stores, and/or certain employees in certain stores.
