  • Glassdoor packing slip may be outdated
  • Sponsored packages may delay organic orders
  • Not suitable for recurring subscription deliveries
  • Recipient data visible to paying shippers

DAMAGE CLAIMS
  • No employment or career items included
  • PICKUP ONLY — no home delivery
  • Depot hosting fees $20+/mo
  • AI routing accuracy varies by depot
  • Geographic constraints on pickup locations
