Yeah, that'll show those damn customers. Seriously, the cargo cutout BS has absolutely nothing to do with our couriers treating our customers packages with a little TLC. And by the way, don't go kicking your dog, because of the "cargo cutout BS" either, because he also doesn't deserve it.

Yes. Basically any address in that general vicinity.

This is just one that got caught. In a past job, I personally witnessed FedEx loading crews launch packages marked fragile, to the point that they would slam and tumble in my airplane......every night of my run. The "supervisor" was one of the culprits.

And yet their customers keep coming back. Either they are stupid or you over estimate how little FDX cares about their customers.

Buddy of mine worked overnights in a Brown ground sorting hub. Told me to never ship anything by ground. He also knew every zip code in Florida by heart

Oops ... another one. I just realized, it's a report from May of 2011.

At least the semi driver could use the excuse "I didn't see that carton because it was below my line of sight." I wonder what excuse the idiot who took the video would have used if he'd been pulled over for driving while making a short movie.

FYI, there is another video of UPS doing the same thing.
Thats it, just (incorrectly) blame the Brits! Yes the paper is British but the courier wasn't. You can tell it wasn't a UK courier, the weather in the CCTV footage never gets that good over here
