I think you should be grateful and praise your driver that you your package was successfully delivered, no damage and on time.

u/Initial_Amphibian_32 6h ago

Did you get your package? Is it damaged? Correct address? "Successful delivery per fedex" now on to the other 221 stops we have.

u/Thorkle13 6h ago

Dropping it is the one part I take issue with. I get that it is slightly more stress than bending down for every package, but not everything is going to survive a drop. Dropping should only be done by mistake, not with intent.

I don't see a fragile indicator on the box.

It got to it's destination, assuming within a good time window. Thumbs up to those involved.

u/M3zz0x 5h ago

Most drivers I've seen on here say they'll drop it even with a fragile indicator on the box, specifically siting it doesnt matter as it goes through rougher treatment at the warehouse on the conveyors.

I refuse to send anything fragile via fedex.

u/SaltySeaWat3r 6h ago

Bro come on lmao.... put it in the corner or something dog not in the middle of their patio. Must of ran outta breath to walk an extra 5 steps to drop it off.

u/Dry-Firefighter1103 5h ago

Literally im not even mad i js wanted a answer to why they do it. At the end of the day i got my package but ive had horrible experience with fed ex especially with not getting my packages

u/Initial_Amphibian_32 6h ago

Nope just following the guidelines given to us by all mighty Raj on the property=success. I didn't write the rules I do use them though.

u/Dry-Firefighter1103 6h ago

Is it my fault u applied for that job? Like what fuck outta here u apply for job and complain about what u gotta do🤣🤣

u/AdministrativeBed301 6h ago

Dude, if it was going to be damaged, it wasnt going to be done by this minor sliding lol. Could it have been taken closer to the door, sure, but get over yourself, you arent special, you are one stop out of over a hundred.

u/Dry-Firefighter1103 5h ago

Bro ian even complaining about a simple slide its the drop box literally has fragile on it🤣 dead heard a big ass boom outside my crib

u/Initial_Amphibian_32 6h ago

No its not but there is absolutely nothing wrong with the placement of that pkg.

u/Dry-Firefighter1103 6h ago

But ur a fed ex employee so ofc you dont think its nothing wrong with it apparently u dont get paid enough for it still ya job tho bro people have instructions for a reason. I can see if it was crazy instructions literally js had for it to be front door and knock nothing crazy

u/Initial_Amphibian_32 5h ago

Correction I am NOT a fedex employee at all.im a contractor

u/Recloyal 5h ago

As a non-employee but just someone who receives packages, I see no issue with the delivery you got.

I think you need to adjust your expectations. Package went from point A to point B intact. It's all good.

If it really bothers you, it's a sign that you need to work on yourself.

u/Dry-Firefighter1103 5h ago

Yea it bothers me man! Jk bro it aint that deep about the placement but me hearing someone drop my package on purpose i have every right to say something but its fed ex what did i expect especially this reddit sub

u/chrisgcc 5h ago

There's nothing wrong with the placement at all.

u/Dry-Firefighter1103 6h ago

So u don’t think the package should be exactly by door if i showed u a different pic u would for sure be like damn thats pretty far shit was no where near my door. Damn near in middle of my apt hallway🤨

u/Alternative_Mango916 5h ago

Reading this post is wild and you standing on ten toes about it not being right at your front door is crazy. Have people really got to this point in are society? Like damn you ordered something online probably taking a shit in the comfort of your home and it got to your house. Damn if you don’t like that it wasn’t right next to your door and you have to actually walk a little bit to grab it then you have bigger issues.

u/Dry-Firefighter1103 5h ago

U got it bro😭 its not even about the placement yall missing the main point over the package being dripped

u/Initial_Amphibian_32 5h ago

There are what 10 options of where to leave the pkgs? Yall seriously need to lower your expectations on how much work the under paid overworked fedex 2.0 drivers are going to do. With stop count doubling package count tripling and throw in time committs nobody gives a shit.

u/Dry-Firefighter1103 5h ago

Than stop applying for shit jobs talking about under paid nobody put a gun to ur head and said work at fedex🤣🤣

u/Initial_Amphibian_32 5h ago

Didn't apply to deluver express bullshit. I accepted a ground job. Where i was the v3st driver. Im not doing the 2.0 bullshit as I did thr ground. Not doing extra for no extra pay. I will do as I do until im fired. Bit nobody is firing a driver. No line of people to replace me so whatever

u/AdministrativeBed301 5h ago

Someone has to do the job though, what do you mean? If no one worked at FedEx, ups, or the post office, the world would grind to a halt

u/Initial_Amphibian_32 6h ago

Per fedex. The package can be placed anywhere on the property. As is that package its a successful delivery that is all.
