Re: [video] UPS Delivers !
said by spatula_city  :I'll stay out of the discussion but, I'd just like to know ahat kind of Security recording device you used. What brand and model. The video looks good and I am in the market for a security DVR for my residence. But I am a little bummed about the lack of resolution on each individual camera view. Is that a fault of the cameras involved or a limitation of the recording device? Thanks thats because when i recorded it, at the time, i did not specifically choose a frame out of the 4 displayed.
when i posted the video, i edited, cropped and resized each frame from the original video and combined those frames in sequence, thats why theres loss of resolution.
the cameras, i forgot what brand, but are color, water/weather proof, infrared sensitive with infrared LED's (about 150 of them).
the quad processor at the time was a b/w one and since i have upgraded to a color unit.
the DVR unit i am using to record is an old "ReplayTV 2000" i changed the hard disk to a 160GB, its strictly for the camera system.
the microphones are electret condenser type and i weather-proofed them myself.
there are four microphones on each corner of the house.
in quad mode, all 4 mics can be heard at once.
the time of the video recording, i did not have a compressor inline for the sound, which case i do now.

all they need is the tracking number and they know who delivered from what truck and at what time.

He/she spent some good money to videotape his place but couldn't drop $10 at Homedepot for hedge trimmers?
I wouldn't want to walk there either.

said by JBahr69 :Discipline - It might be hard to discipline this driver because the name of the town is not given, nor the address of the package being delivered. Also, you can not see the number of the truck, which would help greatly. The original poster, IllIlIlllIll , could call and complain to UPS if he hasn't already since this took place at his residence.

The Facts -
Automation - It depends on what hub you are in and in what part of the country. The two largest hubs I know for a fact have automation and use it very efficiently. Chicago has one, Chicago Area Consolidation Hub or CACH, is located off highway 294. CACH sorts around 1.5 million ground packages a day. The other hub is in Louisville, Kentucky. Louisville, or SDF, is UPS's largest airhub. On an average night, they sort around 650,000 Next Day Air, 2 Day, and 3 Day Select. They see around 100 aircraft a day to ship it out all over the world.
Package Handling - UPS teaches hand to surface methods to ALL employees. Obviously you see in the video that this is not happening. UPS realizes this is a huge problem with the amount of money they pay in damaged packages. Right now UPS is starting a massive campaign to reduced the number of damaged packages and begin to care more about the quality of work.
Discipline - It might be hard to discipline this driver because the name of the town is not given, nor the address of the package being delivered. Also, you can not see the number of the truck, which would help greatly. |

If you're paranoid (most likily are), get some shock sensors placed on your packages. Send the sensor to the host in advanced.

said by Danimal85 :No sorters whatsoever? Small sort? Primary sort? That's odd. How big is that hub? The one I worked at was the 2nd largest in the nation. The largest is in Chicago, I think. Unloaders -> primary sorters -> a) P.D. destinations or b) small sort. P.D. -> loaders. Small sorters put the stuff in bags then they also send it to P.D.'s. I'm not saying I don't believe you guys, there just wasn't any of this automated sorting crap where I worked. Sorry for the double post. No secondary or primary sorts, no pick-offs, nothing. It's all automated. That's why the newer hubs have a high turnover rate, very little room for advancement beyond stacking boxes.
As far as I know they are not retrofitting old hubs with new equipment. It's primarily new hubs being built that get this. |

Just another day for UPS 
I remember they threw 2GB ram from the front of my house to the back a good 75ft. Of course since Crucial always packs there products correctly the RAM was just fine.
But I told the UPS driver to NEVER throw my packages like that again. I just told him to throw them at the front door and if their heavy, to just leave them at the station because I will go and get them automatically.

said by CapinPete :said by docutech :There are times that I am not at home but it is imperative that the package be left at my door, especially a package that is marked signature required. If a package is marked Signature Required, FedEx will not leave it, not matter how many signature releases you have on file. Most packages are sent signature required for good reason. Some items that come to mind right away are firearms and alcohol. And lets say that there a rubber duck in the box and the shipper wanted a signature. This is a perfect example where the recipient would be pissed off at the courier when they should be pissed off at the shipper for requesting a signature. At my new apartment complex (which might as well be a condo set), if you're not home, they have someone at the management office sign for the package. This is UPS I'm referring to. Which is funny, because at my old apartment complex (which was the least expensive in town), UPS said they couldn't leave it with the apartment manager due to "privacy violations". Mighty funny. My new complex even has a dual signature process: they sign for the package, then you sign acknowledging that you received it. That way if you don't get your package yet the office shows having signed for it it's on the office to produce it.
FedEx I'm not sure about at the new complex, but what I do know is for the old complex, I HATED FedEx and DHL with a passion. FedEx always screws up the delivery for apartments, no matter what I do. I was apartment E7, they delivered it to D7; They did that twice. $500 piece of equipment. Fortunately the residents had morals or I'd be out my merchandise, because the Tracking system showed they delivered to the right address. DHL just threw the package at my door like a newspaper; didn't even knock and I was home waiting. I just looked at the tracking one minute, it said on route. 6 minutes later it said delivered, I'm like huh? Look outside and it's thrown on my porch.
If I had to pick a preference it would be USPS Express mail, since my new complex has that package storage process that the post office has where they leave you a key to a locker with your package in it. |

With all of this surveillance cameras mounted, I'm pretty sure the UPS guy didn't want to step foot any more closer then he did. The resident is probably a skizo and had signs saying, will shoot all who steps foot, etc, etc, etc.
Theres probably a junkyard dog around too seeing all the mess in the front. Must be "one of those" homes on the block. |

I also feel that establishing a relationship with your carrier is important. I rely on the services of the major carriers on a daily basis. I am on a first name basis with my regular delivery drivers. They both know where a package should be left in case I am not available.
Here is one thing I don't understand: Why doesn't UPS have a signature waiver authorization? FedEx does! There are times that I am not at home but it is imperative that the package be left at my door, especially a package that is marked signature required. It is a hassle for me to have to drive to the hub to pick up the package that evening.
So the point I am making here is if the carrier has a good relationship with the customer, instances like the OP pointed out could be avoided. |
