>FedEx has vowed to track down the worker, who can be seen strolling casually up to the railings before his less-than-special delivery of the Samsung branded box. A spokeswoman from the firm would not say what action would be taken against the employee once they find him, but warned: "This won't be his best day." The YouTube user who uploaded the clip, gooble55, wrote in the description of the video: "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."< cheers, Ron

Is this for real?[&:] That there could be considered an offense right? Of property or something? As well as doing things against his company guidelines. Sad that people can do things like that.. wonder what sort of punishment he will be recieving though!

They figured out who the worker was. He isn't allowed to deliver packages atm. If they plan on firing him it will have to be after the holiday season to avoid a lawsuit. IIRC a vice president of Fedex apologized for the incident. The video was posted AFTER the customer tried to resolve the issue quietly with Fedex. Maybe they should have taken his complaint seriously when he initially contacted him.

My Romanillos classical was shipped to my remote residence in the Marshall Islands in the Central Pacific via FedEx. I hasten to say that their handling of it ended at Guam, where they handed it over to Continental Air Micronesia. I flew down to the other end of the atoll to receive the guitar from the FedEx agent, who was the local customs agent, and to see it loaded onto the small commuter plane for the flight back home. The waybill on the box listed the insured value, so it had excited some talk in the small island community. The commuter plane was loaded from a box on a fork lift. The baggage handler had set the forklift a bit low. Instead of dismounting from the forklift box and raising the forklift, he looked around for something to stand on. The guitar box was just right. Although it had at least a half dozen large red "FRAGILE" stickers all over it, he laid the box flat, stood on it and resumed work. I was well acquainted with the Marshallese chief freight agent, who was standing next to me in the terminal watching the loading. I turned to him and said his name, "Rikin..." He nodded, strolled leisurely out to the plane in the light drizzle, spoke calmly and politely to the baggage handler, and raised the forklift for him. Fortunately the Romanillos was well packed and in a good case. RNJ

Private shippers have completely mutated from their early times when they outright begged for orders, delivering lightening fast and in style. Since the time when they had market shares claimed, everything changed drastically. They deliver a considerable share of freight damaged, customary elude compensation and after an intermezzo of reasonable fees have rocketed prices sky high. A guitar for me was shipped with USPS and arrived perfectly safe in Germany, despite of diverse transfer points. It wouldn´t surprise me if official post offices in the meantime were much more reliable than the extremely spoiled and price rigging private shippers. ( Though some, like the German post office have quite dropped former standards too, since the time when the GPO was partially privatized. - Which is just what you have to expect with privatization / throwaway for nada and have customers squeeze out following on top, right afterwards.) Ruphus PS: There was a testing recently. I think it was 6 of 10 shippings that were not delivered, eventhough recepient being at home.
