U.S. couriers won't accept Note 7 devices unless properly packaged, fireproofed
Jim McCluskey, a FedEx spokesman, confirmed in a recent statement that his company has taken all the precautions necessary to ensure the safety of employees and assets while delivering the Galaxy Note 7 phones.
With Samsung discontinuing sales of its replacement Galaxy Note 7, FedEx has taken additional steps to ensure our priority on safety. FedEx Express is no longer accepting any Galaxy Note 7 devices, including those from authorized distributors.
UPS, the other major shipping company in the United States, updated its guidelines concerning the transportation of Samsung Galaxy Note 7 phones as well. The company said it will not accept these phones without proper packaging and certainly not from individuals.
Both shipping companies said that they will not move the Galaxy Note 7 devices by planes, so everything will be handled by ground transportation.
