(CNN)Hundreds of FedEx packages were discovered discarded in a ravine Wednesday in Blount County, Alabama, some 40 miles northeast of Birmingham, according to the local sheriff's office.
Deputies responded Wednesday afternoon to a ravine on private property, where they discovered 300 to 400 FedEx packages of assorted sizes...
...the company "sent multiple trucks and drivers from all over the south" who were set to begin loading the packages at sunrise Thursday....

FedEx driver(s) responsible for this musta’ thought packages were addressed to the train station.
Our post office near our house in an inner ring suburb is well known for crappy counter customer service. We recently bought a 2nd house in a rural/exurban locale, and the counter service folks are great! It’s just night and day.
I have seen a lot of Alabama, but I have never seen anything I would call a ravine.
Probably a man-made ditch.
Got tired of working 14 hours a day, threw the packages into a ditch and went back to the shop. postal workers do it all of the time.
“ I hate using fed x”
Same here.
Mailmen, is there nothing they don’t stick their nose in while effing of on double-time...
garbage men and priests LOL all in your business....
Well two weeks ago I wound up with a new Fedex driver at my location, young blonde female with no brains or sense. So anyway I get several packages a week pretty much every week but last Thursday I had two expensive packages coming with a new Multimeter and Ammeter I ordered for myself as a early Christmas present. And it was this day she had a short circuit in her head wiring as she drove 8 miles off her route and delivered them to a drug infested house. So packages showed delivered and calling FedEx support number is useless so had to make a 25 mile trip to the Fedex hub and was told she was having a bad day and the day before and misdelieverd them but was going back to get them. Where she delivered them refused to return the packages and told her to leave...So guess I will not be getting my packages now..
The southern tip of the Appalachian Mountains goes through part of Alabama. I can attest to that since when I was young, I had to learn to drive a stick shift in hilly Birmingham.
Overwhelmed worker. USPS workers have done this over the years. Happens with mundane, production work too. Think of the old I Love Lucy episode when Lucy and Ethel are working in the candy factory. Lucy can't keep up, so she starts stuffing the chocolates on the production line into her mouth.
I have always had good service from UPS, in several states
Haven’t been to Blount County huh? Biggest cash crop is rock!
Me as well but never had any issues with Fedex either, till now..This lady brought me a package last Monday and I chewed her ass out but good..Still could not explain why she did what she did..Told her she needed to reconsider career at FedEx..
Merchant was great tho, they immediately shipped me out a replacement.
Last Friday FedEx tracking said they left a package for me on the porch. It wasn't my porch.
So I reported it and surprise, surprise, it was delivered early Monday morning.....
Too many time USPS tracking has said my package is out for delivery and should arrive by the end of the day. Nope, never arrives....usually not till maybe two days later. And what really pisses me off is I can call the local office all afternoon and nobody ever answers the phone.
USPS is the worst
What, like gravel pits? Like a quarry?
A ravine is a natural feature, usually caused by flash floods through a very narrow or steep passage.
Revenge?
Got too drunk after their distribution center on-load. He/she knew they couldn't do it. Dumped everything, slept it off and woke up in time to return to the distribution center with the empty truck.
Entitled govt. employees that are told who to hate and who are to blame for their hate. That hate takes on a life of its own when the hate goes unsatisfied. Can't go there much if working for a non-govt. company where you can be fired in an instant.
I think a lot of the problems for postal workers are other postal workers who are worthless or problematic; they can’t be fired, so they make everyone else miserable.
Without junk mail, they could eliminate a lot of their staff.
