You should show that video to your local Fed Ex manager and ask if it's company policy to throw fragile electronics over fences.

CNN just ran that video and others like it packeges being tossed and such.

Apparently that vid has gone viral and I have to think that delivery guy might not have such a good Christmas or bonus for that matter.

I just called them and told them that I will no longer use their services......spoke with three different people and there was nothing that they could say.

PS: I don't use Fed-Es anyway.

Why is the camera at the sidewalk? I wish I could google that address to see lt's layout. A lot of higher end houses have remote controlled gates and gate cameras so the people in the house can see who is at the gate. Very common at well to do peoples houses.

TBH those things are packed well enough to handle that impact with no issues.

It might be different if he threw it at the ground or lobbed it in the air. I'm not defending his actions at all but I do have to question if there were any damages. No damages no complaint, imho.

Have read most all of the articles on this that are on the web, and so far all have reported the monitor, was toast and had to be replaced.

The way I understand Fedex works is that everyone along the system path get paid per package. If there is a claim it also comes from that system and is removed from their pay. The way it is run corrects itself from this sort of behavior according to my Fedex driver. The crap that comes via UPS is always banged up and dirty whereas fedex is not. I have shipped both for many years and while the internal management isn't worth a fuk at Fedex the packages tell another story. I have had 1 claim in what I ship in the past 5 years, with UPS it was almost a weekly event. What I ship is always double boxed and around 50lbs each, I used to encourage my customers to take pictures of their packages until enough was enough.

The reason Fedex drivers are in a hurry is that they make more money doing more work... simple concept. UPS gets paid per hour and claims are of no relevance to the drivers. This is from my UPS guy.

FedEx Addresses Tossed Monitor

It was the monitor toss (http://news.yahoo.com/video/losangelescbs2-15750780/federal-express-plans-to-punish-driver-who-tossed-computer-monitor-27657533.html) seen 'round the world. FedEx has responded to a viral video that showed one of the company's drivers throwing a (now broken) computer monitor over a fence.







The statement reads: The situation has now been resolved to the customer's satisfaction, and we are handling the employee according to our disciplinary policies...While we continue to be surprised about the behavior shown, we know this is an aberration and is not reflective of the outstanding FedEx customer service that makes us proud around the world.

"I want you to know that I was upset, embarrassed, and very sorry for our customer’s poor experience," said Matthew Thornton (http://us.lrd.yahoo.com/SIG=12mctev6b/EXP=1325736321/**http%3A//blog.fedex.designcdt.com/absolutely-positively-unacceptable), a FedEx senior vice president. "We have met with the customer face to face and they already have a replacement monitor at no cost to them. They have accepted our apology and say they are fully satisfied with what we've done in response to this unacceptable delivery."

The clip (http://us.lrd.yahoo.com/SIG=1204m8ktv/EXP=1325736321/**http%3A//www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv=PKUDTPbDhnA) has racked up more than 2 million views. In the video's description, the poster writes, "The sad part is that I was home at the time with the front door wide open. All he would have had to do was ring the bell on the gate. Now I have to return my monitor since it is broken." The footage appears to come from a surveillance camera (http://news.yahoo.com/viral-video-fedex-delivery-man-throws-computer-monitor-050009440.html).

There is no word on what sort of disciplinary action will be taken against the employee. However, a spokeswoman for the company told the U.K.'s Daily Mail, this won't be his best day.
