Now, the fact of the matter is, far from every delivery driver out there is a jerk. Most of them are decent people who do their duty; otherwise, the entire delivery system would collapse. Yet once in a while, people manage to take photos or film real jerks on the job who don’t respect anyone but themselves.

UPS Delivery Driver Caught Peeing In Elevator En Route To Deliveries In My Old Building

Adam Lapetina writes on Thrillist what being a delivery driver is really like. According to him, it’s “one of the more underappreciated gigs in the service industry,” it’s fast-paced, and it can drive away those who can’t handle the pressure.

Delivery drivers have some perks. Depending on where you live, sometimes police officers avoid giving delivery drivers tickets for speeding if they’re rushing to get food to a ravenous customer. However, someone being hungry isn’t a good excuse to speed: it’s dangerous and puts everyone at risk. Not even pizza’s worth getting into an accident over.

Furthermore, delivery drivers tend to have a lot of ‘me’ time on their hands, which means getting to know yourself much, much better over the course of your day job. It sounds like the perfect gig if you’re feeling a bit lost in life and need to think things over while getting paid. Just remember to act in the same way you’d expect others to act with you. And don’t eat lick your customers’ spoons.

This is an Amazon package. Amazon ships these packages stacked 7 feet high on 5x5 pallets and they don’t put the heavy items on bottom. We have had 6 boxes containing 50lbs of dog food on the very top of these pallets. Imagine what that does to the smaller boxes at the bottom. Looks like something in the middle broke and leaked. The whole pallet probably looked like this. It also could have been a package recovered from an automobile accident. There have been quite a few lately involving Amazon trucks trying to rush to get you all that f***ing toilet paper you ordered.

I had something similar delivered in one of those plastic sorting bins and no apology. TBF it was the idiots at Amazon who had packed it. Box was not crushed, but soaked and dripping with sticky goo. Amazon had decided to box my order of body wash with my order of three bags of coffee and failed to put any packing material inside the large box. So clearly at some point one of the bags of coffee had banged into the body wash bottle, forcing it open and it splooged everywhere.

Amazon will replace it. If it was sent by a private party and insurance was purchased, USPS will reimburse. Also remember these are not the norm, but unusual situations, our mail and delivery systems are, on average, exceptionally efficient.

Storytelling, journalism, and art are a core part of who I am. I've been writing and drawing ever since I could walk—there is nothing else I'd rather do. My formal education, however, is focused on politics, philosophy, and economics because I've always been curious about the gap between the ideal and the real. At work, I'm a Senior Writer and I cover a broad range of topics that I'm passionate about: from psychology and changes in work culture to healthy living, relationships, and design. In my spare time, I'm an avid hiker and reader, enjoy writing short stories, and love to doodle. I thrive when I'm outdoors, going on small adventures in nature. However, you can also find me enjoying a big mug of coffee with a good book (or ten) and entertaining friends with fantasy tabletop games and sci-fi movies.

I don't understand why people keep ordering stuff when they are not home to accept the delivery, and then expect the delivery guy to figure something out. Either be home, get an alternative (deliver at pickup point? neighbors?) or provide a safe space to put the delivery. What do you want the delivery guy to do with a huge package and a tiny mailbox? He's not doctor Who, your mailbox is not the Tardis.

I don't know how it is in the US, but in my country sometimes couriers will not call you or send a message in advance, so you have no idea when they will be coming. I had this happen to me twice, the courier would call me when they're waiting at my door with no prior warning my package would be delivered that day. But if you're not at home they will never just leave your stuff outside, it gets taken to an office or you make arrangements for another delivery date.

I work form home, am here ALL DAY and I have a huge note on my door "Deliveries: I am here. Please Ring Bell". They still toss the package at or near the porch and drive on. I have to go check every half hours or so to see if a package was "delivered". Every Time. Ordered car parts that I needed last week. Got a text that they were delivered (no knock, no ringing of bell), and by the time I got to the door the box was gone. Checked my video - Amazon delivery threw the box on to the porch, and within 2 minutes a guy rode up on his bike, grabbed the box and stuffed it in his backpack. Hope he had a 1992 Volvo. Still fighting Amazon on this one - they say it was "Delivered".

So we should be home everyday to accept the mail? With a lot of packages in the US the final delivery is made by the United States Postal Service, even if they started with FedEx of UPS. I have a enclosed porch and a deck to the front of my house, and they will still leave packages in the driveway.

Most services don't let you choose when to get your packages. It comes in 5-7 business days and you don't get the time of day it gets delivered. Most of the time, it's not really within the customer's control. Amazon lets you pick a delivery day (I'm not sure if that is specific to Prime), but most companies don't give you that kind of control.

I’m so thankful for the couriers and posties that have delivered my mail and packages.

I wonder how much it cost to send packages in the US and what the rules are. Over here (EU country) if it doesnt fit true the mailbox opening, it is treated as a package and the delivery person will ring the door. If youre not at home, they try some neighbors. If nobody is home, it will go to a pick-up point nearby.

I still can't wrap my mind around the fact that these delivery guys are allowed to just drop stuff off even if there is no one to receive it. In my country that never happens, if you're not at home they will take to an office or return on another day. Most delivery companies here will notify you at least a day in advance of delivery, but some don't (or they use online trackers which in my experience have often been unhelpful) and it's not reasonable to expect that working people will stay home for days waiting on a delivery. And I can't believe the carelessness with which the packages are treated.

With exception to the folded stuff and all the obvious *ssholery, if it was broken somewhere in the delivery proces, there is nothing the person delivering the goods can do. It's a one way street It's up to the customer what happens to broken goods. They cannot return packages on their own. And there is zero margin to personalize the experience. We want it delivered at the lowest possible prices, we get what we pay for. Minimal and error prone service.

I'm very surprised with all of this. In Europe, at least in my country, if nobody's at home, you get a notice in your mail box to pick up your package at the Post office. And you need to bring that notice (it has some number somewhere on it), and some kind of ID.

Having had an iPad Pro stolen by an Amazon driver and to answer a few responses here I was in when the delivery driver should have delivered. I was at the front door with the tracking app and watched him drive by - twice - and then get an email saying I was not in !!! Complained to Amazon who said they would make the driver call me when he re-delivered which he didn't despite saying he handed me the packages only one of which he actually left outside next to the bin. Amazon would not co-operate with the police so presumably the guy got away with it and is still stealing your parcels. Worse thing is they charged my card and took nearly two weeks and numerous calls to get the money refunded.

I have had many, many problems, with Amazon, all since they decided to foray into the delivery market and hire "contractors" who are underpaid and don't have any loyalty to the company. They truly don't care and it's clear. I have managed to get one fired because he kept lying about delivering packages he wasn't delivering. But I will say my Mail-people, (I've had both men and women), have always gone above and beyond and I have always gone out of my way to call the local PO and tell them and to give them Xmas presents. It's amazing the difference when people actually have some pride in their job.

As more and more retail outlets die, unable to compete with the big companies' cheaper prices, this will become ever more commonplace. The end result of an unregulated monopoly. The companies call their drivers "contract workers" so they don't have to pay them benefits and won't pay them if they bring the packages back. You don't like it? Go to a local store that makes its own deliveries or stfu and quit whining.

I guess I've been really lucky. I've only had one package really screwed up. A UPS driver was delivering a box of various jerky spices and a few other items. It was raining, so he grabs someone's (Lord only knows whose) garbage can and turns it over the package, but he placed everything in an obviously low area. The can floods, soaks the package and all the items inside. UPS replaced everything including the one or two items not damaged by the water.

USPS does have rules for delivering parcels . For any package the carrier has to try to gain the attention of the customer ie knock on the door, honk the horn. If there is no response or if package is too big you bring it back to the office and leave a slip called PS Form 3489 notifying the customer that they will need to pick it up. Also there are several options that you can choose for redelivery like telling them when and where you'd like it to be delivered

You go to the shops near you to see the products and get expert advice. Then you order them from Amazon and you are not home for the delivery. Go by the courier to pick your stuff up! What can possibly go wrong, apart from you helping Amazon closing down all the actual shops and making sure taxes are not paid locally, or at all? And get yourselves bigger mailboxes BEFORE you order BIG size things with mail delivery. I do not feel sorry for you.

Actually, I do my research myself and order my stuff from companies with a solid delivery service that gives you the possibility to plan a date and time. Shopping local is not going to cut it. Even locally you will find mostly large retailers and small shops will probably not sell what you are looking for. To me the future lies in small store fronts of large companies for people looking for advice. And the rest of us shop directly from the website.

It always baffles me how those tragic deliveries are even possible... It's either a very US thing or I'm exceptionally lucky to live in a country that doesn't allow it. Here (Poland, Europe) mailboxes are only slightly bigger that A4 envelope and if something doesn't fit it, you get paper slip with address and timeframe when you can pick it up from the post office. That's for the main carrier. Any courier service like FedEx does only deliveries where you have to be home and sign for the package. If you're not home you'll either get a text or paper slip in the mailbox - whether they'll try again on another day or you have to go to pick up spot. There's absolutely no possible way for a package to be just left on your doorstep. And we even have very well managed web of delivery automates - standalone machines that contain about 30 boxes of various sizes that can be opened with a phone number and a code. They're scattered around the cities and are very useful if you work odd hours.

I think people today rely on delivery way too often these days. Actually go to the store to buy your TV. Stop at the fast-food place instead of relying on Grub Hub or others like that. I realize some deliveries are unavoidable. Report the screw-ups immediately. If you're not going to be home, have things delivered to a friend or relative who IS going to be home. Have UPS packages sent to one of their hubs instead. Then you can inspect for damage on-the-spot

In my country no deliveryperson would leave a parcel unattended. They either deliver it to a neighbour and notify you, take it back for a second delivery or drop it of at a servicepoint. Any deliveryperson messing up the parcels would be out of a job very quickly. Perhaps it's because our consumerlaws are protecting us. If you order online the sender has the responsibility for a proper delivery of your order and he will chance his deliveryservice if he needs to replace orders too often.

Best story I have is from when I lived at home with Mom, and the next door neighbors moved away and their house stood empty for about a year or so. For some reason, for a period of about a month or two, we weren't getting mail. The Post Office said the mailman said it was getting delivered, but we weren't getting it. On a hunch, I went next door and looked in their mailbox. It was JAMMED with over a month of our mail. I collected the mail, taped the mailbox shut, and notified the Post Office. We got a letter of apology. From my other experiences with USPS, I was surprised to get even that.

They sent replace goods. The next day we had a very angry Yodel driver deliver the goods from the day before telling us we had got him in trouble.

I don't understand why a person wouldn't make sure someone is home if you've ordered a tv, laptop or large electronic device. I also don't understand why the US can't take orders back to the depot or leave them with a next door neighbour. Most of the delivery personel in these photos just seem to be lazy and rude as well.

Comes down to money. They get paid to deliver your item, not necessarily to ensure you receive it now. Electronics are cheaper than they have ever been. They won't take it back to the depot, because they don't want to store items, if there is no obligation to. Unfortunately these issues are because of Amazon. Amazon wont do it, because they are too big and it would disrupt that "same day delivery" schedule, everyone loves so much and other retailers have to compete with. You will buy that TV from Amazon, because it's cheaper and there is a reason why......

I'm really sorry, but what do you expect the delivery person would do with your oversized packages? where I'm from you had to collect them yourself to the post office (or other delivery companies) if they're at certain size or weight.

No, today you learned that there are some jerk delivery people, some companies that don't package well, and some people who make drama out of stupid things, but that 99% of everything you purchase will be delivered to you in good shape by people who care about their jobs and their customers.

You got it backwards, the lazy and entitled people are the couriers who hate their job, but can't be arsed to find a better one and then take their frustrations out on paying customers instead of their employer.

In my Country, that is the only choice. If you aren't home, a docket is placed in your mail box for you to pick up at the post office.

I order all the time, but with a full time job I don't have the luxury of being there when most of my packages are delivered. I do, however, have very good deliverers.

In the US they don't try neighbors unless instructed, or if it's a small town and the carrier knows you and the neighbor.

This is odd, because if I recall correctly, items like TVs or anything that costs over 400 usually requires a signature. I guess that is not done anymore??

In their defense (not as an excuse, also not applying for the disgusting stuff seen here) delivery is practically slave work, really bad pay, pretty heavy labor and always being pressured for time...

Full-time UPS drivers make excellent pay, especially if they're willing to work overtime. They also have really good benefits including full medical.

If possible you should always pay with paypal, They will always give you a refund if your goods are damaged, or if the delivery company says your package was delivered but you didn't get it.

You know what might prevent them from doing this? Paying them proper wages and giving them a pension, etc. Also, if they're just treated like slaves, it's no surprise they don't give a s**t.
