You can afford all the surveillance equipment to capture this video, but can't afford to trim your hedges? If you don't have enough respect for your visitors to have the front walk accessible, then you deserve to have you packages tossed at your door. It may not be "professional" behavior by the UPS driver, but you earned it by not being accommodating to his arrival. |

Erie, PA | Wow, you have no clue how hard the automated sorting equipment treats your packages do you? If you did, you'd know that that's nothing.

The driver went to work for FedEx.
They crushed the box and damaged my new video card a couple weeks ago. |

I used to work at UPS and there is NO automated sorting. The boxes get unloaded from the trucks (by PEOPLE) onto a conveyor belt. The belt takes them to the "primary sort" where more PEOPLE put them on the correct belt to take the boxes to different areas of the hub. Then more PEOPLE take those boxes off the belt and into the correct truck. Then even more PEOPLE load those boxes into the truck. All that being said, you are one lucky SOB if all your package went through was a toss. |

WOW
I probably speak for others as well here but I rely on the major delivery companies on a daily basis and if I ever saw one handle my package in such manner there would be serious consequences. I imagine just on this forum alone there are hundreds if not thousands of people who at one point or another have ordered goods via the web and had them delivered by "brown". As other posters have mentioned, what if it was a hard drive or some other form of fragile electronic that was just irresponsibly thrown onto a porch as it was the morning paper?
Great job capturing the disrespect or lack there of! I hope he's fired and gets a job chucking newspapers for a living... |

I agree with all the points of view...
Yes, the packages go through MUCH worse than that before arriving at our door.
Yes, the driver should be severely reprimanded for PUBLICLY handling a package as such.
Yes a clear path to the door should be available to the driver.
Catching it on video = priceless + pwnd!

said by Danimal85 :I used to work at UPS and there is NO automated sorting. The key phrase there being "used to", which infers that your next statement should have been "there used to be no automated sorting."

second question:
quote:
KW: Essentially the Operations Research group has two sides to it, an optimization group and a simulation group. On the simulation side, our main focus right now is a huge new facility that we’re in the process of building in Louisville. We started work on it about three years ago and it’s scheduled to be fully operational next summer, at which time it will be the largest automated sorting facility in the world.
This is from at the latest 2003.

The first time you posted I suggested you sell the video to FEd/EX. Now I can see F/E doing a little rip off the mac and pc commercial.  |

"What can brown do for you?"
Well, lets see--according to this video, they can throw my shit all around the place, making me spend the better part of a Saturday morning starting the RMA process for that motherboard I ordered. 
Edit: Although if I ran into a nasty spider web, I'd freak a little too I think. Especially those damn Wolf spiders, yuck. |

Yuck. That's a nasty house. Over grown everything, junk cars and stinky trash cans abound.
I side with the delivery man.

Reminds me of a SuperMicro Blade Server, 2 WD Harddrives, Intel P4 3.0GHZ Processor, OCZ 2Gig Memory Sticks tossed onto
my front porch. While I watched. I told him "Hey that was $3000 dollars worth of Equipment you just dropped there on the porch. His reply. " It wasn't really that far " I took pictures just in case anything was broke. No bushes,webs, or trash cans in his way... No excuse IMO |

Hey now, wolf spiders make great supplement to guard dogs. You'd be surprised how many grown men who may stand to a big dog but scream like a little girl when they see a 'big' spider on their coat sleeve. |
