Trappeur Posted July 16, 2018 Author Share Posted July 16, 2018 That big box he just threw on the ground must have been mine from Community Candle as a couple of jars came shattered. I'm sure FedX isn't happy with this video which went Viral on Facebook and everywhere else. Just disgusting... Trappeur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jcandleattic Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I can't see it but know exactly which video you are talking about. To be quite honest, I just assumed that all package carriers treat their packages this way. (Not every single package, but a a lot of packages, in every package delivery company there is) I know several people (even dated a couple) who drive or have driven for UPS, and every single one of them flat out say if the box is stamped "FRAGILE" or "Handle with care" or anything stating to be extra careful/cautious on it, they purposely rough-house it to see exactly how "fragile" it is. Ever since I got told that I NEVER mark my packages with anything that isn't otherwise required by law. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's shot at an angle from above and I don't think they realized they were being filmed,. but honestly as I said in my earlier post, I just automatically assumed this is how package handlers treat their packages. That's why it's always so important to pack like it's going to go through a tornado, because chances are, it's going to get treated like the packages in the referenced video at some point in it's transportation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcandleattic Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 WEll, the one i was thinking of I can't find, however there are at least 15 pages on google/youtube of package handlers being caught on tape throwing and mishandling packages. Soo... There ya go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncraiders Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 (edited) Wow! One of the clips has nothing to do with the driver mishandling the package but to me it is even worse than that. There is a ton more on youtube but i posted this one due to 2 clips in it specifically. Edited July 20, 2018 by ncraiders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admit to being lazy but even i would not do that stuff. I can't understand why those people think that is ok. They would be the first ones to call and complain if there package was handled the same way they handle them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 why am I not surprized? This is why I package my orders like they are going to be handled by gorillas. I also insure them.. all of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like after seeing this if you are shipping a candles wrap them in a ton of bubble wrap than stick it in a box after wrapping them in several inches of bubble wrap. As well as insuring the item in it. It seems like you need to test throwing your package out the second story window before shipping them after seeing clips like those.

Gary in Canada Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I gotta defend our local delivery people...UPS guy is great..carries dog treats for our "guard" dog..lol And my wife loves he wears shorts all year long. Fedex has always been great, and on time with no mishaps..same with purolater...and our we are on a first name basis with our local posties. The only problems we have had are suppliers...delivery people have been great so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a truck driver who drives that exact same setup of a truck ( just not for FedEx) It is quite feasable that the box is empty and was either placed there at his previous location or ended up there by accident. Most truck drivers do not even get out of their cabs during off loads and will just jump in the seat and start driving once delivery is complete. On a long nosed Freightliner like that, the front end of that truck is a complete blind spot for us. So the driver literally cannot see that box there. Nor could he feel it. We haul 100,000lb loads up hill and our trucks are very powerful. That box in the front there has the same effect a fly would have on the driver. So he most likely could not even tell he was pushing something. Most people dont realize the true nature and danger of these trucks and all the blind spots we have. With that said, he should have done a proper pre trip before heading down the road. If he had done so he would have seen that box stuck to his front grill! 😂😂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
