When it absolutely, positively has to get there in one piece, send it via the US Postal Service.
They better try hard. My previous Fedex clown did that with a computer.
No matter what the parcel contained he threw it over the fence.
I had a similar experience a couple of months with FedEx. My daughter was getting married and had ordered some glassware to give as gifts to her bridal attendants. I saw the FedEx truck drive up and just as I opened the door, I saw the delivery throw the package by my front door. The package was clearly marked Fragile. Thankfully, the glasses weren’t broken, but I’m now thinking this wasn’t an anamole. FedEx drivers must be trained to throw packages instead of walking up to the door to deliver the package safely. BTW I’ve never had this experience with UPS.
Did it still work? Have they seen how these packages are handled when they are loaded on the plane, off the plane, onto the truck?
I’d also like to see if there was more to the video. Did the delivery guy first ring a bell and get no answer? What are delivery people supposed to do at a house with a security fence, not deliver at all?
And I’d like to see where the box ended up. If the guy wanted to, it looked like the box might have fit between the bars. Certainly he could have put his HAND through the bars and let the box down on the other side. So I suspect there was something sufficiently soft where he “threw” the box to explain why he decided to throw the box where he did.
The big problem is that leaving the box anywhere out there left it exposed to the elements.
Oh, and one last issue — Does Fed Ex really deliver things in their display-sales boxes? I guess they could, although I thought fed-ex always had you put things into THEIR boxes. I presume this video is NOT a set-up since FedEx is now saying they are looking for the guy, but if I didn’t have that info I’d wonder if this was real.
And I still wonder how the guy with the security fence and video monitoring expected his package to get delivered to his door.
What person gets a broken package, has evidence how it got broken, and posts a you-tube video and does an interview with the local news outlet that gets picked up by a foreign newspaper BEFORE they contact the delivery company to collect on the damage and get a replacement?
Last thing, and again I have to assume the video IS real, but...
When you watch the delivery guy heft the package up and throw it over the fence, it sure looks like an empty box, not a box with a large LCD monitor in it. He does use a second hand at some point, but watch how easily he “pivots” the box — heavy things, you need better leverage to rotate the package to get it over the fence.
Like I said, there are several things that just don’t “look right” in this story. Not the least of which is that how could the delivery guy expect to get away with this? Even without a video, dropping the package on the lawn would clearly indicate the package was not “delivered”.
FedEx Addresses Tossed Monitor
Doesn't sound as though the guy's been fired. I won't be using FedEx again any time soon.
Sounds like the ones that deliver to around here. We can hear the packages hitting the door as they drive off. We saw them do it to another house one day, threw it right from the truck to the front door.
