Throwing this box on our porch. Christmas present. Now we've got to open it up and make sure it wasn't damaged.

FedEx also broke youtube.

Yea. I just did a screen shot which doesn't do the throw justice. This link works.

Conversely, just a couple days ago I had a new Olympic weight bar delivered via UPS. Usually UPS just sets whatever it is on the porch and leaves. Sometimes they may knock. They rarely press the doorbell button.

This guy brought it up to the porch, rang the doorbell, and waited!

Fedex ground. They suck in our area also.

Before we got our shop we used to have our FFL at the house. Got deliveries dang near daily and pretty much all of them required signatures. Amazing to me how little pretty much all of the delivery services rang the door bell. Very light knocks, sometimes so light I’d be sitting on the couch and not even hear them.

You’d think the goal would be to empty the truck. I get they can’t spend 15 minutes hunting someone down at every stop, but I would try my best to get rid of the package. I feel like I would always ring the bell or if I heard people in the backyard in the pool I might give a holler… I don’t get the desire to deliver the same package over and over again… maybe they have a reason

Watching the video I was thinking that was a gutsy throw considering the person on the sidewalk. What if that person was the home owner? Oh shit, that person was the home owner!

On a side note, our delivery people don’t have to knock or ring the doorbell. Our early warning system lets us know they are there before the truck even comes to a stop. She’s a good dog.

So how was it? I'm dying to know. Also, is the wife's book still out on the porch?

It's an XBOX. I'll set it up tonight and check it out. The actual box inside looked OK I'm just concerned about internal issues with the HD.

Was the box marked "FRA-GEE-LAY"? Many carriers do no speak Italian.

^^^^^
I thought the same thing.

Was it a 'major' award?

Is it a Series S? I think those are SSD and should be fine.

Very nice safe neighborhood that your wife can leave her bag/purse outside

It was a book. Thieves don't steal books

It’s pure laziness IMO

God forbid you take an extra 1.5 seconds to set it down gently.

It has an SSD and appears to work just fine despite the air delivery. Big relief. The thought of having to make a claim and battle FedEx was depressing.

It was a hymn book. She had to play in church today. But yes, it's a nice neighborhood.

People just can’t take pride and do a good job anymore these days. It’s about getting away with minimal work and maximum laziness.

They don’t care. Showing my age here but when they delivered my 60” plasma tv the driver just pushed it off the truck and when one side came down you heard glass breaking. She didn’t even wait for me to help. She saw me walking up. I pushed it right back on the truck. Saw my other plasma and hopped in and carried it off the truck ignoring her rant that I wasn’t allowed on the truck.
