...delivering a pair of our calipers to his door. Keep in mind, this is about an 18lb. box.

Yep. God forbid he has to walk 30 feet to deposit a package.
Dam I miss the days where the postal works had to walk mor than just 1 block without getting back in their car.

Customer needs to take some sort of tablet to his po and show the video to the his local postmaster. I'd be waiting on Saturday and read the carrier the riot act. Makes me appreciate how great my mailman is. He actually drives into the driveway, gets out and walks to the front door and knocks before leaving a package.

That's why its important to use packaging sized for adequate cushioning materials.

My mailman opens the door and leaves my mail inside the house. We have a vintage mail slot but he still leaves it inside.

Glad you brought this up Eric. The set of rear rotors you just sent me packed in the manufacturers box then in the large flat rate USPS were busting through the bottom corners. You may want to add some duct tape on those corners then the packing tape over it.

Every company has a (hopefully) small population of less than stellar employees. USPS, Fedex, UPS, etc. are no different, we've all seen the videos. Catching one of these slackers on video and turning in the video to your local PO will help to eradicate them.

Also, it helps to get to know all of your delivery people and greet them with a smile and an honest to God thank you when they deliver your packages. Everyone likes to be recognized and appreciated, especially the guy in the subject video.

I honestly don't see what the fuss is about.
When I take packages to the Manchester Post Office I often drop them in a chute in the lobby for prepaid Priority Mail packages.
If there isn't someone else's box for mine to land on, they drop nearly 3 feet to the floor.
The mail carrier in that video wasn't any rougher on those calipers.

If the package was insured for the contents' value it would have received handling appropriate to a more valuable item.

Kind of what I was thinking. At an old job, I went into some of the large USPS processing centers to upgrade their tray mail system which routes the mail around the facility. That little drop is par for the course. The sorting machines aren't all that gentle either.

And you guys think they are gonna get him or something? Puhleeez! They would probably have to negotiate with the union before they even considered reprimanding him. You can get fired from the USPS, file a grievance, fight it out for a year, then come back with a raise and all your back pay. The standard of accountability is completely different than what most of us are accustomed to at our jobs. That dude (and thousands of others) will still be dropping boxes next week. Pack your stuff with them in mind.
