FedEx guy just delivered my TV!
 

The FedEx guy just delivered my TV and was nice enough to not bother me by ringing the door bell.

How much should I tip him?

yea, saw that on the news this morning. I am sure this guy will be losing his job ;)

he won't have a happy Christmas i think

what a wanker!

lose jobe, pay fees and suffer because of this!

Mother fucker, someone here @ GFY should take his job.

i would love a job with FedEx.

Is that real? You've got to be kidding me.

That is why I stopped mailing via FedEx. Tons of customers complaining about broken items.. They straight manhandle shit.

thats pretty funny. he was probably pissed delivering shit to some rich dudes house and now he loses his job and becomes even poorer because of it. instant karma.

Not really mine but the delivery was real and FedEx says they are investigating and appropriate actions will be taken.

What was the old slogan?

"When it absolutely positively has to be there on time"

Just not in one piece...

Time out for Karma

So true...:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Meh, those things are package to handle that kind of drop. Otherwise the companies would lose half their inventory when shipped.

The same happens here,The same with UPS..they leave my shit on the front yard and don't bother ringing the bell

What an idiot!

Hopefully he's now out of a job...

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

nice one

That's how UPS packs their trucks. Loaders throw shit wherever it'll fit.

Looks like he threw it on the grass, so it should be ok.

The TV is probably fine. It's a long flat box he tossed it into the grass so it would land flat. TVs & Monitors are pretty damn snug inside those boxes.

They get thrown around quite a bit going from the factories that make them, to the various distributors that ship them to stores or where ever.

Out of control

Looks fake to me. Box seemed too light

Is it ever really a good idea to throw electronics around?

Its not about getting scratched or dented as much as its the sudden jarring of impact.

You ever notice how all the TVs in boxes that are in stores like best Buy and Walmart are stacked vertically. When I bought my Plasma a few years ago it had a warning on the box not to lay it flat and to keep the TV upright at all times.

I'll bet the TVs are handled correctly from manufacturer all the way to the retailer ( shrink wrapped on pallets ) until the douchebag sales guy gets to throw it around in the back of the showroom :winkwink:

looks fake to me also...
and the box looks too light...

I think the internet gives people too much irrelevant shit to complain about. Look at all the asshats in this thread wishing the guy loses his job and this and that and yadda yadda yadda.

Seriously - who gives a fuck. A guy threw a box. Whoopidy fucking dooo!

That's taking pride in your work, right there.

Doesn't make it cool for that idiot to toss it around like that. He should definitely be fired for lack of respect, but also just beaten to a pulp by a biker gang for mistreating electronics in that way.

looks fake

It's not fake, The guy has not been fired yet. The TV was broken and the guy who ordered it was home at the time.

Well, you certainly convinced me you're smarter than the rest of the world. :helpme

You've certainly convinced me you feel at home amongst threads like this on GFY. :helpme

What kind of stupid attitude is that? Don't you ever order products via mailorder for yourself or others? How would you like the UPS driver, Fedex driver or USPS mail carrier to throw your valuable packages around?

Imagine what happens in the delivery depots.

there is probably a guy inside the truck, catching the boxes the way he's throwing them :2 cents:

Can't believe it's true, looks fake to me, box looks too light ! ---> ok it's be told !

But the box does not seem to have a packing slip, this could be a viral video

There is a new vid of a UPS driver doing something similar.

ups dropped off a package for me today i met him at the door :1orglaugh

I used to load trucks for UPS in highschool; it was way worse than that. During orientation they make you watch about an hour worth of videos on how to properly stack the boxes to form a wall; how to use the hand-to-surface method of handling the boxes which basically means that a package should never be dropped or thrown, not even an inch. About 20 minutes after you start you realize that this is practically impossible to do unless you're Superman. You work a four hour shift, no breaks, and during that time you're loading an endless flow of packages; about 2,000 packages a night I loaded. You can move as fast as you can and still not keep up with the flow. Two guys to a truck and we would load two trailers, jam packed, a night.

The way the hub is set up they have the unload section on one end where the incoming trailers get unloaded. The packages make their way through a maze of elevated conveyor belts about 30 feet high that snakes its way throughout the hub to the load section where people sort the packages according to where they're going and toss them down chutes into the corresponding trucks. The trailers themselves have a roller line built into them that runs down the middle of the trailer front to back that's supposed to carry the packages right to you. Nothing ever runs smoothly though. The chutes get jammed up and packages overflow onto the loading dock. The packages bust open and spill their contents all over the truck. People don't stack boxes right and whole walls of packages collapse. It was a fucking madhouse. You figure you got a couple million packages a day moving through one hub.

:error

Saw the original thread on reddit, there was talk of it being fake for whatever reason (as we all know, everything on the Internet is fake)... but seriously, that license plate is blurred out a little too professionally. It was like that in the original video, it hasn't been added by some news channel.

hmm - from my own personal experience Fedex won't just drop packages off at your home, you or somebody else has to be at home to sign for it. there is a form you can fill out that gives them permission to drop off packages wherever you want(garage, backyard,etc) but if i recall there was maximum value a package could be.

I have had packages left on my doorstep that were paid registered and absolutely should have been signed for. Like any job, some people don't give a fuck.

Not fake. Fedex already issued a statement they tracked the driver down and he was disciplined.

I love it when people don't grasp the point I'm making.

...Of course I'd be pissed, no shit. However if you also walked around any city in the country and asked people "Do you think if you ship something there is a chance it might get thrown around or even broken". What do you think their answer is going to be? You want to bet every single one of them is going to say "Yes/Of Course/No Shit"?

Also, if I walk a mile in any direction and stop at any of the hundreds of businesses around here and stayed the whole day watching every single employee. Do you seriously have any doubt there isn't going to be one who does something stupid or wrong? That's what happens when you watch people long enough, eventually someone is going to fuck up or you're going to see one of them being an asshole.

So now that we wind back down to my point. Who gives a fuck! Some dude threw a package. Oh my fucking god the horror. The fact it needs a thread on GFY, and the fact people need to berate and wish the guy loses his job shows some serious lack of connection to reality for a lot of you people - that or you guys just really have nothing better to do than criticize a fucking random delivery guy (who you'll never meet or who will have zero impact on your life).

But, don't let any of this stop you from your daily internet / gfy escapades. God knows the world will turn into pure chaos if we don't police these heathens who fuck up in any way.

Have you ever seen the inside of a large distributor that is responsible for shipping this stuff to stores? I have and trust me stuff doesn't get stacked vertically or handled genitally.

Trust me on this I've seen it first hand and the electronics survive in most cases just fine. The boxes they are in are designed to reduce the shock damage and the reality is the product is normally only damaged when the box is crushed or broken.

Tossing it in the grass flat like that isn't gonna hurt a thing.. Had he thrown it with force on the cement so it landed on it's side or a corner yea sure that would probably hurt it but what he did is fine.

Stores don't receive full pallets of TV's in most cases the pallets that come from the manufactures are broken down and the individual products are sent out to each store as they are required. They are sent on pallets that have been built in the distribution center that has everything under the sun on the same pallets. Meaning That TV could have had all kinda shit stacked on it while it traveled to the store.

Not to mention it was likely tossed around a bit in the various process of moving it around the DC before it ended up in the store or the DC that shipped it out to his house.

Your point is retarded and your reductionist explanation is ridiculous. If a common carrier lets a package get broken due to an accident or happenstance that is one thing. But an employee purposefully lifting a flat screen tv over his head and smashing it down onto the ground out of frustration, jealousy or spite is another. This kind of attitude and malfeasance can affect everyone who gets packages shipped, which is almost everyone in America. If you can't see that or don't understand how the idea of right and wrong applies even if the particular incident doesn't affect you personally then you're missing a moral compass entirely. Or more likely you do understand but can't admit what you said was silly.

No, I haven't been to a distribution center.

Last year I went to Best Buy at xmas time to get around a 40" tv and on the show room floor they had several pallets of TVs stacked vertically and the stack was wrapped with plastic so I just assumed they came that way from the distributor and then broken down in the back and TVs are brought to the front as needed. Because it was xmas They just used a forklift and brought the whole pallet out and saved walking back and fourth.

I'm sure a lot goes on behind doors that would make consumers shudder and I don't like to think about it. When I go to a restaurant I can't sit anywhere within view of the kitchen :winkwink:

he deserves 50 cents tip in his head.

Stuff like that only happens with high volume promo stuff. Stores would never have the stock room to do that with every thing they sell. The average stuff is just ships piece at a time as the stores need them. If a store sells 9 pieces of a certain item, but they keep 12 on hand, then they will be replaced with 9 in most cases just to replenish the in store stock to keep it at the 12.
