So I was at an auto parts warehouse today. I was with a friend picking up a part that the delivery guy never delivered but he said he did. This was a warehouse where multiple vendors just store things, then ship them out. While we were walking to his parts I found multiple areas with stacks of boxes. A lot of these were labeled do not stack so I managed to take a couple photos. Its really not all that great to see.

boxes of things that aren't supposed to be stacked - that are stacked .

Well, in all fairness, in the middle pic they aren't actually stacked.

its a central supply warehouse for a company that holds things for other companies. Basically say there are 50 businesses that don't have a warehouse but they sell things, online. This warehouse is where its stored until the business owner gives a shipping address and buyer for the item. So basically there are a lot of different things in this place. They had Dell and HP computers. Hospital beds. Hospital supplies. Car parts. Blu ray, and dvds. All kinds of things were in this place.

I didn't take the time to figure out that one particular item. It just caught my attention because it says do not stack and the next to bottom box was broken from stacking. They had car parts and body parts for cars that said do not stack, stacked by the hundreds. Things that said fragile just jumbled in corners, and even things that said they were temp fragile and this is just a non conditioned warehouse. I won't be giving the name of the company I was at for obvious reasons.

Cool story Hansel.

well...at least they were all facing the right way up and not stacked upside down

Marklar is right, the middle one is a pile, not a stack. They should've said "do not pile" on the sticker, not that anybody would care lol

That might explain why some friends of mine ordered a dell computer and had to send the first 2 back for shipping damage. One of them had a hole in the box (roughly fork lift shaped) and the sound card sitting in the bottom of the tower, bent at about 45 degrees.

i work for proctor and gamble in one of their main distribution centers and im not gonna lie, i double stack/triple stack stuff that has stickers like that all the time. slightly different for us cause all we have is racks so when space gets tight its easier to do that. its mainly duracell batterys
