(Rant) Damn Fedex Driver!

[chickenfried]

I had the mailman leave one of those sorry we missed you tags right off the bat without even ringing the bell. I knew he was out on the route and I was waiting for him by the window to ring the bell. Had to go run him down. Probably should have complained to his boss.

They all suck. Who delivers your package is more important rather than which company.

My wife and I order tons of stuff online, our guys always hide it somewhere in the front. Its almost like a challenge or something. I've talked to one of the guys when I was actually home sick or whatever and he was cool, but he hid stuff even before that. It bums me out when I get a package that make you sign when I am never home so I have to drive a ways to pick it up.

Funny thing this just happend to me. I was expecting a package to be delivered on Monday and when I got home from work my wife said there was nothing but bills on the mail for me. So I check the tracking number and sure as **** it says its been delivered. So I'm out front checking under the cars, under my motorcycle cover, around the side yard by the garbage cans, EVERYWHERE. Even the damned neighbors houses. Nothing. So the next day the mailman comes by and the SOB asks my wife, "did you get your package? it looked really important so I put it in your BACK YARD." MF'r opened up my driveway gate and put my damned package in the back yard on the patio furniture How was I supposed to know to check there?

Fedex ground left 4 HK USCs and 2 CA 94 behind my truck by my gate without getting a signature. The boxes even said adult signature required.

My mailman won't even get out of his truck to deliver a package, we have to walk to him.

Sorted the whites from the darks, added detergent and did two loads.....

Yeah, where's that bridge you wanted to sell me again?

Seriously, give it back or pay them back... unless they're out of business by that time.

I just had UPS deliver 200rds of .308. The package was signed by a fictitious character that doesn't reside in my neighborhood, not to mention the "delivered to" city was wrong. You can believe the panic I went into when I thought my package was delivered to a potentially, non-ammo deliverable city. My brother found it later that night hidden next to some wet bushes.

I got a copule guys who are anti-social like that. They'll hear the TV but won't ring the bell, knock on door, or even say something.

Oh yeah, UPS claimed to have delivered a Cox modem before we had even moved in here... my bro still hasn't gotten around to going to Cox HQ and telling them to credit back the rental fee they refuse to stop charging even though their package was clearly stolen by a neighbor.

haha.. Still not as bad as my delivery people..
My USPS mailman doesn't close the mailbox... and fliers and probably some mail flies off with the wind and or gets wet.
My UPS driver throws packages and crushes plants...
And the last Fedex guy that dropped off a package tripped over a Aloe Vera plant. He kept screaming and cursing.. not knowing I was on the other side of the door and giggling like a school girl. When he rang the doorbell, you can tell he was pissed.

We're on a first name basis with our USPS guy, and because my mom is handicapped, we get our mail delivered to the box inside the gate instead of out at the curb.

The UPS/FedEx guys leave the stuff on our doorstep, but we've got a walkway that has a gate, and bushes that hide the doorstep from the street.

The only problem I have is when they try and deliver a "signature required" when nobody is around for a while. I usually just tell UPS to hold the package for Will Call at the center, since it's right on my way home from work.

Ahhh the perfect crime...except for not knowing what you just stole and everyone knows you were the last one to have the package. Why would you be convinced the driver stole it??

I have a great relationship with my UPS driver, I give him a Christmas present every year.

Any package that goes into the delivery system of any service is fair game for thieves - you only hear about newsworthy instances, but theft goes down every day of the year, at all different points in the system.

The best thing you can do for any shipping, is to pay the dough to get the package to you or to your customer overnight - the less time in the system, the less opportunity for a thief to get their hands on it.

When I lived in Riverside, I had a UPS driver who refused to ring the bell or knock on the door. Once, I just happened to be walking by the living room and saw him walking back to his truck. I checked outside and saw a box (don't recall what it was now).

The next time, about a month later, my daughter was walking by the same room and saw him going back to his truck. She told me and I found 3 envelopes on the porch. They contained 3 checks from my bank totaling $76K.

The bank screwed up in not requiring a signature since I realize the driver had no idea what was in them, but I stopped him when he came back down the street and asked him why he didn't ring the bell or knock.

He said company policy said he didn't have to and once it was out of his hands it was my responsibility. I told him the bell and door were 1' away from where he dropped the envelopes; he could have hit both of them, then walked away. He repeated his statement.

I called a supervisor and they said his statement about policy was wrong and they apologized and said they would ensure it didn't happen again.

The one in my new home rings the bell every time. Whenever I see him, I wave and he waves back. I very seldom get deliveries, but I try to be friendly to him anyhow.
