Careless FedEx Delivery Man

Lol. So does anyone remember this scene from Ace Ventura?

Anyways, I swear to God that a FedEx delivery guy at my work thinks he is Ace Ventura.

A few weeks ago, I was walking by the loading dock and I saw him throw and then kick a box to move it out of the way. Not just move with his foot but actually kick so it got some air. Then today, I saw a FedEx truck again and I looked in the back of the truck and it was like a hurricane had gone through there. There were at least 3 very large boxes that looked exactly like the box that Ace ventura delivered. If they were not taped together, the content of the package would be everywhere. They were all stacked on top of each other in a heap of garbage.

lol, anyone have stories of some rediculous delivery of a box?

My first year of college I used to work at Fed Ex Ground and honestly I used to see guys kicking packages that had the fragile sticker on them on purpose with their steel toe shoes just for the very reason it had that sticker on it and some of them actually used to throw a box which was on high priority to be shipped same day to montreal on purpose to Vancouver BC trailer......so that it doesnt reach on time and is actually delayed for 3 to 4 days.

i fucking knew it. that's horrible.

what can customers do?

it's like you take the time to write all over an envelope of pictures, "DO NOT BEND" and the thing arrives in the shape of an origami swan.

Can't really do much except insure the package for damage.

That's what I was thinking. Insurance is the only option.

I'm getting a fragile package today from FedEx. It better be in decent condition!!

It's insured, but it still sucks if something happens because i'd rather have the item then the money!

My buddy had a good run-in with Purolator.

He was smoking outside his office and the guy pulls up, runs in t make his delivery. In his haste, he forgot to set the parking brake.

My buddy runs down the street, jumps in and stops the truck 5' from hitting a bunch of parked cars.

that's why I don't use those ******s

Canada Post does a much better job, Xpress post and Priority Mail and all

I had a chat with the Purolator guy who comes to my work on a regular basis. He said they play games in the warehouse with the boxes. They will throw them to eachother, and if the other guy doesn't catch it, well..let's just hope it isn't breakable.

Also, he said that marking "FRAGILE" once or twice on the package will get ignored. To ensure that nothing gets damaged, write it all over the place.
