to get to that label or even potentially mis-scanned or missed altogether in a stack. Label the SIDE of the box if at all possible! Heck no! I expect labels to be on top and that's the first place I look for them. If it's on the side, that's potentially four other places I have to look, which is a pain in the ass when I'm busy. And I'm always busy. UPS, incidentally, says you should put the label on the largest surface. For the packages I get, that's usually the top. Someone who has shipped too many boxes would comment on whether the box was new or reused, whether there was any special hazmat (mostly lithium-ion battery) labeling the condition of the package post shippin Not usually noteworthy. My internal monolog (which is what the above fanciful review is based on) doesn't bother to mention it unless something unusual happened to the box. whether or not the weight of the package matched the stated weight on the label Although I ship just as many packages as I receive, if not more, it never would have occurred to me to check. And I don't have a scale in the receiving department, so it would be guesswork anyway. AND they’d have commented on the two-inch packing tape. Which everyone uses. There's not much need to comment when it's far and away the most common type of tape. Perhaps things have been different for you, but this is how it is in the manufacturing industry.
