Now I know why my packages are always breaking

That was the nicest your packages get treated, except for the delivery drivers daintily placing them when they know they are on your doorbell camera.

Worked for UPS. This couldn’t be more gentle than the way EVERYONE at UPS handles a package. We were trained that the only label we care about is the “insured” part of the label. Fragile, handle with care, none of that matters, we were trained to not even pay attention to fragile labels. Insured packages are placed gently at the back of the truck and gently stacked at the very end, everything else is ‘no holds bard.’

Yeah that makes a lotta sense. Used to work receiving for a plumbing company. One supplier thought it was a good idea to ship expensive custom porcelain sinks via UPS. Don't think I ever saw one make it through unscathed.

Although it was really impressive the few times UPS managed to crack a cast iron sink before delivering it

That takes a certain level of skill.

It wasnt so much the landing for me, as it was the impulsive throw. It was so natural for the kid

7

u/LongingForYesterweek 2d ago

Of course it is, he’s a kid. His behavior isn’t on him so much as his parents

36

u/El_Lobo1998 2d ago

To be fair, it seems like his father was angry at him.

-16

u/RikuKaroshi 2d ago

That kid needs one good toss like that from dad and he will learn his lesson instantly. Problem solved

4

u/LongingForYesterweek 2d ago

Literally how does that help? The kid doesn’t learn to not do the behavior, only that he needs to be sneakier when doing it so he’s not caught

-6

u/RikuKaroshi 2d ago

Lol your brain works wrong. You dont know how that kid will respond to direct consequences. Neither do I.

Kid throws toy, toy gets taken away, kid learns not to throw.

And I'm disappointed in all of you that seriously thought I was suggesting you throw a child because he threw a box lol

2

u/[deleted] 1d ago

Kid throws toy. Dad throws kid. Kid learns throwing is always the appropriate response. Yeah. Makes sense. Lol.

u/U-Botz 1d ago

Nope lol as a kid who was beaten it does infact work

u/seamus205 2d ago

I have a doorbell camera thats in plain sight. They still just chuck my packages at the door

u/kerodon 3d ago

Your package gets slammed at the speed of sound through multiple stages of transportation and processing. This is the least worst thing that happens to it on the way to you.

u/Charliep03833 3d ago

Definitely not what I wanted to hear after ordering a grafics card.

u/whereismyplacehere 2d ago

I once saw a top of the line (at the time) 1080 on the floor piled onto other boxes since our line at Amazon was full in the sorting facility...a part of me shed a tear for it and put it off to the side to get it out of the chaos but yes, they do go through it, and this was in original box with no extra protection

6

u/Charliep03833 2d ago

Well, it's 4070S, so I hope they packed it really well.

2

u/CrownEatingParasite 2d ago

Ay, I have a 4070s too. Great card. They're packaged well, so you shouldn't worry

It's already sitting in my PC and it's beautiful.

It's ok the silicon is absorbing most of the force

u/mrbofus 1d ago

Should’ve ordered a graphics card instead!

u/[deleted] 1d ago

Bubble wrap saves all things. Except when they place it UNDER the chips, and place something harder and heavy on top, ignoring the "wrap" part.

u/StevieGDagger 2d ago

Doesnt matter, kid still should not be doing that. Disrespectful af

u/kerodon 2d ago

absolutely true!

Hahaha freaking loved that show

u/InevitableRhubarb232 3d ago

Honestly any package worth its weight should be able to withstand that throw. I ship as part of my job and most items you could throw down a flight of stairs and they’d be fine. But I own my business so I care, so that’s the difference.

u/FallenRaptor 3d ago

That kid has a future with Canada Post…if it manages to hang on past the next year, of course.

u/NevesLF 2d ago

What's happening to the kid next year? o_o

u/FallenRaptor 2d ago edited 2d ago

Funny. Bankruptcy seems likely for Canada Post though and the recent strike didn’t help. Hard to say what the future of mail delivery will look like in this country, whether Canada Post pulls through or not.

7

u/tht1guy63 2d ago

My question is why is it by the stairs?

7

u/RilGerard 2d ago

Delivery drivers have a lot of stops to make, so sometimes they take shortcuts by delivering second or third level packages to the staircase on the first floor.

At least the parent disciplined which is more than I've seen in a lot of other videos

u/Fisecraft 2d ago

This is one thing that i dont understand about america, do delivery people really just place the boxes on the ground and leave?

1

u/JohnStern42 2d ago

Yes. Covid did this. Before they’d often ring the doorbell and hand it to you. Now they just treat it like a football and lob it at your porch

1

u/Fisecraft 1d ago

Dont you have delivery boxes?

1

u/JohnStern42 1d ago

Nope. And if we did they wouldn’t use them

1

u/Fisecraft 1d ago

We have them in every second street, you can get your box delivered there and then you get a pin to open it

u/netsurf916 2d ago

Not really any worse than the delivery drivers 🤷‍♂️

This is just sad...I'm talking about OP

u/Dmau27 3d ago

If your package was broken from that you've never received anything in one piece ever. 100 bullshit. I've worked for two parcel services and your shit gets dropped several feet several times and smashed numerous times everytime it passes through a hub.
