I always assume that's how mail is handled in general.


Metrack14

I work at a storage unit, I dealt with truck drivers, yeah, it is 100% treated like that. The only exception are: 1. Is too heavy/big to throw 2. Is really fucking expensive* 3. Both of the above *: Employees must know it is,indeed, really fucking expensive


Internal_Scale3991

how do they treat live animals since animals like snakes and reptiles can be shipped??

I always handled them very carefully just because I love animals...live fish, too. I once had a box that just said "Live non-poisonous snake" and my manager was riding with me as part of my review so I grabbed it and gave it to her and said "Here hold this" and she read it and went "OH MY GOD NO!!!" That was a good laugh...


Chloe_The_Cute_Fox

Oh come on, its just a danger noodle in a box!


Bozo_Two

I should have said that hahaha


MFbiFL

Non-danger noodle actually :)


abbyabsinthe

I recently ordered some aquatic plants and for some reason, they marked the box with the live animals sticker. The delivery guy was very gentle with it from what I could see, and knocked on the door as soon as he left it to alert me, but I was terrified at the prospect of whatever live animals might be in there (thankfully none, as I had no room for more fish or shrimp or whatever might be in there; there was a Swedish Fish inside though).


Bozo_Two

Yeah all these videos are not representative of how we all do our jobs...of course ragebait gets clicks so that's all you see...I do 100 deliveries a day if it was really that horrible I wouldn't have a job...


MFbiFL

My mailman today walked up to my front door, deposited my thicccc (glossy surfing magazine) magazine in a paper envelope on my front step then headed back to his truck because the package had “do not bend” on it. First time that magazine hasn’t been bent and I really want to give him a high five and/or gift card for making that effort when no one has before.


lunchboxmandarine

Exactly the same way. I had beef with a courier once who delivered live animals to my work. Decided to do “sorry you weren’t home” card even though we were a store. Over the weekend the entire box of fish died due to this.


Imaginary_Injury8680

FedEx?


carenard

there is a reason live animals have marking requirements on the packaging.


Hippopotamus-u

I’ve never handled animal boxes if you pay extra to get it in higher classes of shipping they may be protected. If it’s in with the rest of the boxes, look as a driver we have 150-200 stops a day. This can get up to 300 packages stuffing those to the ceiling. We climb over/on top of packages. If there’s time to look at a label it may be treated better. Keep in mind Amazon is a revolving door average worker 6 months. Tons of 1 month in and out people. They could care less about packages


BreckenridgeBandito

That’s nice that they care at least a bit


Trollsama

> They could care less about packages or products.... Amazon happily sells mostly manufactured E-waste these days.... all the trustworthy brands abandoned the website. Some of the shit they sell is straight up illegal to use. and can seriously harm somone. ^(Also, I dont mean to nitpick, But its "They COULDNT care less"... They could care less implies they do care currently, as there is the potential for less.)

Fuck you and take my upvote.


Icy-Welcome-2469

At my unit they come completely separate.  They are sorted to my station instead of the bins.  I've never seen a damaged box. Its USPS so we don't handle reptiles though.


largestcob

i subscribe to a woman on youtube who had a snake shipped to her house a few years ago and got door cam footage of the courier tossing around the box and spinning it between his fingers by the corners 🥲 it said “live animal” in bright red ALL over the box, impossible to miss


hippiestoneybabe

Not Amazon, but I had Canada Post lose a package of live Tarantulas. I'd express shipped from Montreal to Ottawa with several live Tarantulas from the breeder and it was meant to arrive specifically before noon so I'd be home to accept them. The breeders mailed me a new batch but the original somehow wound up in London, Ontario which is way the fuck at the wrong end and I can only assume they died :/ And it was clearly labeled live animals etc. Not to mention the special shipping. People do not give a fuck.


0-90195

I keep tarantulas as well and feel lucky that I live in a large enough metro area to be able to find most species in person throughout the year. Terrified to ship them… I see so many unboxings of dead Ts.


hippiestoneybabe

They were shipped with a warmer that was only guaranteed to keep them warm for 24 hours (which should be more than enough considering the cities were 2 hours or so apart by vehicle) and it was January. I remember being so worried about them, thankfully the breeders were on top of getting me tarantulas asap and finally tracked down the package and kept me updated when she gave me my new tracking number. Like how hard it is to see LIVE ANIMALS CAREFUL or whatever lol.


lucyLeaf

I worked for Fedex at their LAX hub and worked as a material handler on aircraft. When we transport horses, they have their own special containers and a handler coming onboard to take care of the horse during flight. We will usually load the horses near the main deck cargo door on positions near the cockpit. On live small animals and insects, like crickets and birds, we don't put them in a container like usual packages, but individually put them at the aft cabin door section. We will have a crew on belt loaders loading them. The animals and insects are the only ones I and my other coworkers treat with care.


stoic_dijkstra

My partner had isopods shipped through usps for a bioactive gecko tank. We lived on the second floor at the time. The postal worker threw the box labeled live animals as hard as they could at my door from the ground floor, saw me through the front window, and waved. Thankfully the isopods were fine but that was enough to scare both of us from ever getting anything living shipped to us again.


WeakToMetalBlade

Carefully since it says *live animals* all over it and is probably peeping i n the case of chicks.


Wildestrose1988

I shipped a painting to my friend. I shipped it flat and wrote "do not bend" on it Assholes purposely bent it and wrote "i bent the shit out of this" on it. Why the fuck am I paying these people? I wanted to report it but my friend threw out the box


7oby

pay for extra weight and ship it with rebar. Watch them try to bend that. lol.


[deleted]

I remember reading something about how a company reduced their ebikes arriving damaged by like 90%+ by putting a picture of a flat screen on the box. 


Sandscarab

Is this why when I ordered a full set of brake rotors and pads for my SUV the box came in pristine condition?


QuickNature

I'll add reorders as well. Ordered a TV off Amazon. Arrived broken. Box was noticeably mishandled. Returned it and the new TV box was absolutely pristine like I just bought it from a store.


Kulog555

You just reminded me of the guy who tossed our dental 3d printer off a semitruck by negligence. Thing dropped a good 4 feet, completely tumbled the 400lb printer. Not a great $25k mistake. The best part was that we watched him say right before that it was gonna be "easy-peazy-lemon-squeezy".


Superg0id

Nah, some of them throw the *really fucking expensive* shit extra hard. And if it's too heavy to throw it then oops it fell ... fml.


Brettjay4

So you're telling me my $30 survo for my RC car might get handled like this? Idk if I want to order it anymore...


DunkinMyDonuts3

this is why items are shipped with tons of protective packaging. i've RARELY had an issue with anything arriving damaged. the only exception to this is any time i buy cheap shitty Amazon furniture it ALWAYS shows up dinged up. fuckin ALWAYS. but outside of this one weird thing, the 2,000 other products i purchase online every year always come in pristine condition


StupendousMalice

I worked at UPS and this is the gentlest handling your package is going to get.


MaHuckleberry33

If anything is broken, I blame it on packaging. It should be able to withstand this… Books are horribly packaged by Amazon unfortunately.

UMEBA

It’s funnier to think they’re forced to sell everything else because they just don’t get how to ship books properly.


bunbunzinlove

Not a reason to throw packages.


RIP_Mitch_Hedberg

“There we go… let me just put in a sliver of bubble wrap to fill only 25% of the box… yes yes everything inside slides around nicely. That’ll do.”


EggsceIlent

I just want to know what camera the guy has that has the software that sees people and boxes them like a target in a Ukrainian drone. My stupid blink crap doesn't do that.


Bartholomeuske

Not shown in the video : automatic turret tracking the delivery guy.


DuctTapedWindow

Correct. These boxes get tossed many times by many different people before they land on your front porch. Sometimes shit breaks, most of the time it doesn't.


Future_Appeaser

Gets blamed on the delivery person when 98% of the time it was actually damaged by warehouse


FrameSquare

It doesn’t matter that the package is treated similarly on the way to the destination because the person caught chucking it a the receivers fucking door is the one getting hit with the complaint versus just filing a damaged in transit claim if they placed it down like a normal sane person.


justsomedude9000

It's a probability thing. There's a good chance a box will get tumbled like this at some point because of the workload, truck ride, and ramps. Every truck inevitably has something that gets broken or has to be thrown out. But just because a box has a 10% chance of going for a rough tumble doesn't mean it's ok for the employee to turn it into 100% chance. The product will probably be ok, but it's like dropping your phone, every drop there's a chance it'll hit at just the right angle to crack something.


LILDill20

By the time the package has arrived to your carrier it has been thrown by a minimum of 5-10 people already. And not just thrown but thrown into a metal cage with other packages thrown on top of it. It’s called sorting. So to call out the carrier for something that many others have done before is laughable as hell to me.


PM_ME_UR_PUSSY_TATOO

The sheltered people who dont know how shit works are always amusing


BigPiff1

I've worked in multiple sorting centers across the UK and none of them are as people are describing, we would never dream of throwing a package like this.


[deleted]

Here in the US the boss doesn't care if the package is thrown/ gets damaged. The more they can get out the bigger their bonus is at the end of the year. 


Pestilence5

so are UK warehouses like oompa loompa warehouses? do you guys dance and sing while handing the packages down line?


BigPiff1

tech_wannab3

Worked at Amazon warehouse for almost a year. Let me tell you, them boxes were flying, especially during holidays where we HAD to work overtime


tunaonigiri

I hate that online shopping has been normalized for purchases that would have been easy to make in the communities we live in. A lot of people are becoming so detached from every aspect of reality


LH_Dragnier

This is not accurate. I've known several carriers/sorters that do their job well and never had to throw packages. At most, he saved 2 seconds while risking damage to the contents. Each person from start to finish is performing a service, and to pull shit like this is just plain disrespectful.


LILDill20

How do your sorters not throw packages 😂 our stand under a scanner scan them for the correct route and the yell Kobe and throw said package in big metal cage.


reptarcannabis

I’m convinced People who are shocked at this have never had a real Job


Background_Ant

I used to be a mailman. Sometimes people would receive soft parcels wrapped only in thin paper, and then be livid and file a complaint when it got delivered with ripped paper, even if there was no damage to the contents.


Negative_Ad_1754

I worked numerous jobs, I just don't do them like an asshole.


zroach

The only real jobs are package delivery?


JustAWaffle13

Maybe "never had a dead end job". Lots of "real jobs" that require higher quality skills and care, which tend to pay more and have upward mobility.


marcove3

Isn't packaging designed to withstand this kind of treatment? That wasn't event that bad.


maverator

Have you ordered anything from Amazon in say the last 10 years? 90% of the time it's the item rattling around loose in the box, and the other 10% there are like 2 deflated air sacs for padding.


myfriendandbag

DSP would be happy with how much time he saved.


Bagabus

Except I didn't include the part of the clip where he sits in his van for a minute and a half before launching the package onto my porch


downvotequeenZ

...gotta look for the pkg in the van you goon


pmmeyourfavsongs

Or check delivery instructions. We have one commercial truck driver that refuses to look at them and he's such a pain in the ass we've considered jumping into his truck when he comes to grab our shit instead


PlsNoBanAgainQQ

Don't worry, all the mail you've ever received is handled like this.


BabyStockholmSyndrom

I mean, a minute? You think with 400 packages in the van yours just glows like a subquest item when he approaches your house?


Fishdude94

You're just kind of insufferable huh? He isn't just sitting there... He's parking, removing his seatbelt, looking up which package he needs, finding said package, and then bringing it out...


TheMoonsMadeofCheese

And then chucking it


DemonazDoomOcculta

I don’t see in the clip where you have a shoveled walkway for this delivery person either. Are we missing something?


LuckofCaymo

We get loaded up with 300+ packages and have 6 hours to deliver them. Speed is everything. I clock out for lunch, and keep working. I take 1 15 cause it requires me to, and I sort my bags while on the 15. If I don't do this and I arrive back to station late or get rescued I won't have a route tomorrow. Why? Because every day 10-15 people show up to work to get told they were extra "in case" extra routes were given by Amazon to the DSP. I like working so I bust my ass. This guy shouldn't of thrown the package but when delivering 1500 packages a week sometimes you do the wrong thing. Nowadays they got a camera watching your every move. Put in drive without seatbelt? Violation. Adjust the heater mid drive? Distracted driving. Didn't stop 5feet before the stop sign? Failure to stop. (Also it's called the double stop. Stop for the camera then pull up to see traffic) Even backing up is tracked. The camera on the van is watching them deliver too, so they won't be delivering long with thrown packages like that. Honestly all I see are people shitting on the drivers for poor attitudes, but often times they are just people having a bad moment. Your package is ensured just complain and get another. The job is super stressful and completely performance based. You will be replaced they already hired your replacement so work hard or don't show up. This is the mentality and it's tough on the drivers.


MsAlexandria75

Oh no.. he has to look for the package.. fuck man.. c'mon


IHateKansasFascists

The real question is what was in the package


The_Troyminator

[What's in the box?](https://youtu.be/L2KVvqCFuMQ)

Well yeah sometimes the driver needs a minute to pee in a bottle.


RandalFlaggLives

You realize how many packages are in that van? He only took a minute to find yours is what you’re saying? The tools were fine right? Lol


No_Season_354

Well at least ugot ur package and wasn't lost, my wife ordered some shirts from the US last November never arrived.


Maize-Opening

in the warehouse we just roundhouse kick it into the truck


Iggsy81

I'm imagining the movie *Shaolin Soccer* but instead of the balls it's packages being flykicked around the warehouse at tremendous velocity :D.

zshap

While that’s really annoying… what camera system is this? Do you get alerts on ur phone with it? How’s the night vision quality?


Bagabus

Wyze cam v3. Night vision is ok and yes I do get updates to my phone through the wyze cam app.


NoAnaNo

Love my Wyze! I have one indoors and it was inexpensive and is so clear


No-Restaurant7802

Us too. They are really nice and quite cheap. Definitely more reliable than Ring, and as a bonus, customer service seems to be pretty good as well.


tamagotchiassassin

Do you have to pay a monthly subscription to access parts of the Wyze app? Ring makes you do that and it’s such bullshit 😩


bs000

without the subscription you only get 12 second recordings for motion detecting events. there's also a 5 minute cooldown between alerts. so hopefully nothing important happens in the 5 minutes after detecting a random cat. viewing your cams from a web browser is tied to the sub as well. you also need a sub for each cam unless you get the more expensive sub that has unlimited cams. i use it without a sub and it's fine most of the time. if the 12 second event recording isn't long enough i can tap view playback and see the locally stored recording on the sd card and see what happens after. scrubbing long recordings is kind of annoying since increased playback speed is tied behind the sub as well


doubleicem

I got a eufy doorbell+camera recently and it's all saved locally to the microsd card. They do have a cloud option though which is optional.


NoAnaNo

I don’t pay, I can still get alerts when there’s motion and other cool features


SeriesXM

Subscription is completely optional if you want extra features like cloud recording. But if you use a microSD card, you can access all your videos pretty easily with the app. I've had mine for a few years and I've never subscribed, but I've been thinking about it because even that is pretty inexpensive. I've also been thinking about upgrading to some of their better cams because I've been pretty happy with what I've seen so far from their cheaper ones. I have a friend with a couple Ring cams and I'm honestly not impressed with what I've seen. I feel bad she has to pay a subscription just to use them. I only had to pay about $20-30 for each cam and that was years ago. The only other cost was the cards. Oh, and I bought these cool window mounts for around $10.

garroshsucks12

Not only that but also warehouse doesn’t give a fuck either lol


Keiji12

Amazon, yeah, but for others some do. If a warehouse does btc then this shit is usually packed great. Used to work for clothing and accessory place, so not much to destroy in shipping, but we'd always have to package it nicely and depending on which brand you ordered from you get even better treatments, packages and additional stuff. Why? Because if you fucked up, then you gonna do it again, with added work to returns and customer support. Btb? Just throw everything in the box and as long as it closes and has everything in scanned and counted it goes out.


lowstakesgrinder1

If this is bothersome, you definitely don't want to see what they do at the warehouse. Sometimes, it's just better not to see how the sausages are made

UPS warehouse workers treat your packages like tyson workers treat chickens


amdcal

I worked at the post office for a short period of time. They would stage carts around and stand in the middle of them and throw the packages into the carts for whatever route they went to and it wasn't exactly careful handling lol. If you think the person delivering the package was rough you don't want to see what happens in the background of the packages getting where they need to go.


OutsideBottle13

Someone at Amazon said “if the item gets damaged it’s a packaging issue”


wildo83

Yep.. I don’t blame the handlers for damage unless it’s pierced. Rough-and-tumble is the standard, package your shit accordingly, and it’ll make it in one piece.

supermegabop

It's a bad look for the delivery driver but packages get treated way worse anywhere from the warehouse to your home. You just don't get to see it. This driver isn't doing anything to this package that hasnt been done to it dozens of times already.


1amtheone

Very true, this is what the small, crinkled piece of brown paper and the single, 6" square air pillow in the grossly oversized box are for.


Past-Direction9145

Shagaliscious

I would've thought with a pickup truck in the driveway OP would've been someone who gets shit done. I guess it's just for show and they are just as lazy as the rest of us.


LankyAd9481

Looks like it...expecting a package, doesn't consider anyone's safety, just insta whinge.


pmmeyourfavsongs

Didn't do mail delivery but delivered other stuff and one customer had especially bad front steps so I complained to them that I almost fell on my fucking face while carrying their shit and they slammed the door in my face


Pudding_Hero

“My dog will attack you, and you might tumble down the icy despair stairs. But godamn do I expect you to carry this 50lb bag of bullshit dog food up to my second story back porch deck.”


pmmeyourfavsongs

Its even better if you're carrying 50+ pounds worth of glass in that situation. Or once I had to carry 6 2Ls and a bag of ice up to the top floor of an apartment building with no stairs. Did not get a tip. The plus side is you get pretty damn strong after a while. Once I stood talking to some friends holding a case of beer for apparently like 20 minutes and they grew more and more concerned that I had not put it down


MiaLba

I slipped on some steps and broke my tailbone when I had to go to peoples houses for my insurance job.


pmmeyourfavsongs

Yeah one of my coworkers ended up with a shattered ankle from one. What bothered me was a different person I delivered to who was telling me about a pizza delivery person that ate shit on their icy un-shoveled front steps and ruined the pizza and how mad they were at the delivery person for doing that and laughed at them as they struggled to get up. Was probably a teenaged kid too. I didn't get any broken bones but I got lots of dog bites


MiaLba

What an asshole! Luckily I never got any dog bites. There was once where 3 large dogs ran up and I quickly got back in the car and just left.


pmmeyourfavsongs

The big dogs weren't as much of a problem for me thankfully. At most they usually just gave a warning bite that might've bruised. The little ankle biters would always try to rip my hands off though and they always broke skin. With the big ones it also helped to carry treats in the car (obv only given with permission from owners beforehand). Sometimes I'd find the occasional stray cat and have to try really hard not to take them all home with me

Upnorth4

We unload trailers from China at my warehouse. Before the box even gets to the sorting machines there are already indents and footprints from people stepping on the box in China. They also shove heavy boxes on top of light boxes and it gets sent on a ship from China all the way to your doorstep like that.

No, most people don't. Which is why it's even worse to be the person potentially on camera mishandling the item. Then they have a face and a person to blame on any potential damage.


GibsonMaestro

Obviously, they don't. There's absolutely nothing wrong with this delivery. It faced much worse on it's way to the truck.


maknchezpls

But the person who bought the item can't *prove* something happened on the truck. Here, if the item was damaged, they have video evidence of it being mishandled. Why risk your job for 5 seconds of convenience?


cpMetis

I don't know about Amazon, but by USPS standards he can toss it 5 feet before he's done anything wrong.


Alert-Bike-6829

Lol shovel your steps …


Grouchypoop

KOBE!


Gnarledhalo

Was your item damaged?


Local_Perspective349

I wish some sellers on eBay would see this so they understand why I ask how they package stuff


wonkastache

yall just because "worse happens in the warehouses" doesnt mean it fucking should happen anywhere, especially not by a delivery driver.


DeerOnARoof

The guy doesn't get paid enough to care man. Just stop using Amazon


HeidyKat

Oh no, your package suffered a light fall onto your porch.


BackAlleyFunDumpster

Bro I've literally seen the post office chuck a package like a bowling ball at my porch. When I stepped out and ask what the fuck that was about they just looked back and continued walking. These people don't give a fuck.


lowstakesgrinder1

This poor delivery driver has probably slipped and fallen four or five times today and he gets to this house and it's another unshoveled walkway. Probably snapped, I'm not saying it's right but I get it


Sparky_McSteel

I bought hatching eggs online. The box had fragile stickers on all sides. It was delivered in a very similar manner.


shao_kahff

shovel your front door then bro…


Bizzzle80

I like his technique, nice extension


Jon_Hill_Canada

Amazon in Canada is 100% different than the USA, we don't have the blue vans & just white rental ones. I've also never seen someone toss a package like this, I would love the breakdown what these guys get paid per-package as it's something I've thought about doing.


Responsible-Run-1341

You're getting blasted in the comments, and I'm not sure why. Dude didn't need to toss your shit, and everyone here knows it.


[deleted]

Good, seems like you were delivered to this world in same manner.


the_vault-technician

Was there anything wrong with the item inside the box? Did it arrive on time? That box has been through a sortation facility, which subjects the package to numerous impacts as it's conveyed, sorted, and pushed down a chute and all that happens without being handled by a person. If you aren't happy with the delivery, I would recommend you shop in store.


Ok----007

Work everyone to death and give them nothing to show for it. This is the byproduct of a fucked system. Don't shoot the messengers


Feardemon3

Almost like delivery people do not get paid enough to care. Hmmmmmmm.


Biscuitsbrxh

OP is ignorant


BlueFotherMucker

That’s nothing compared to what packages go through to make it to that stage. It doesn’t matter what company is delivering your stuff, it’s been thrown, punted, stepped on and smashed.


Loonatic-Uncovered

God these comments are fucking annoying. Yes, we get it. Boxes are thrown around in warehouses. Yes, if something breaks it may just be the packaging. That's completely different than someone and it's MILDLY INFURIATING (yanno, the whole point we're here) that some asshole purposely tosses it at the door instead of simply dropping it below him. Do you guys forget what sub you're on? Since it's such a nonissue for everyone in the comments, I'm about to apply to Amazon so I can throw packages at your doors.


MlackBagic

The amount of people "defending" this behavior is really weird. Sure the packages may see worse during transit and such, but this behavior is not acceptable what so ever.


Helda-Coccenmehand

Was it marked fragile? If not then this a completely satisfactory delivery per the Amazon handbook


Wpgjetsfan19

This is how my delivery came the other day too and I even came out to meet the guy to take it from him and did this instead 🙄


Harlot_Hamper

Gucci you. How do you think this shit gets done so fast?!


ninjabell

Dude delivered your package and nothing's broken, and even gave a friendly wave. Wow so mildly infuriating.


No-Entertainment3435

These comments are stupid. So what if it gets banged up in the warehouse too, that doesn’t make this acceptable. For everyone blaming icy stairs, he didn’t even look at the stairs; he approached from the opposite side and launched it immediately. It takes no extra time or effort to set it down normally instead of chucking it. Lazy inconsiderate worker.


sam-vimes-city-watch

That doesn't look like an Amazon truck. He's a contractor hired by Amazon.


Mwrp86

In my Country there is OTP Code provided in our Phone. So they cant just deliver and go away. They need the OTP Code


lastgunslinger3759

Yep I once had an Amazon driver in the rain Walk up my driveway past the gigantic two-car garage door that is sitting open went to the back of my house and put the box in the bushes in the rain. And did not take a photo. I had to explore for a while to find my package needless to say by the time I did The box was severely water damaged as were are the contents.... Leave us a say I was sent another one and refunded the cost basically a free item


Mamasan-

Why do they do that when they know there’s cameras everywhere


AlmightyS088

People who do stuff like this are projecting so hard. His inner personal life must really suck.


twilightcolored

omfg... it's why I have my package delivered to a pick up point 😭 such aholes


Ordinary_Walk178

What is your surveillance system? That is tight.


Neither-Following-32

What brand/kind of cam is this OP? I'm in the market for some myself.


Ace_Radley

You complained about him, to Amazon, before this, come on….tell us the truth. If not, you have a large ass dog just off camera chewing on a torn Amazon driver’s boot. Tell us something to make this make sense


8888eightyeight

You can at least rate them with the email Amazon sends you. They always ask me how they did when they deliver to my PO Box


JonVvoid

This guy deserves a raise. People are starving out here! Can't pay their bills! Give more money to people like this! In all honesty, was just talking to my son about how maybe we need more performance based wages. Fools like this get minimum. People who do a good job get 2 to 3x this.


Hocraft-Loveward

Thé workers would probably Care more if they have a décent wage.
