Wow, what a scumbag.

[Sledgstone 8,672]

Wow. What a prick. I'm assuming this guy got fired.

[DeathscytheX 9,732]

Oh yeah, he returned it to before they pressed charges.

[Sledgstone 8,672]

I'm surprised he still didn't get fired. If hes done it once, I'm sure he'll do it again.. except next time he'll look for hidden cameras.

[DeathscytheX 9,732]

He did get fired.

 

 

As for the employee, UPS says he was a seasonal worker helping out full-time drivers make their rounds during the holidays. He was promptly terminated, and was arrested yesterday on suspicion of theft.

oh! lmao. I guess I should have read the article in the link.

[Strider Hiryu 2,704]

Wow, what a douchebag.

[DeathscytheX 9,732]

Yeah really! This type of BS is my greatest fear every time i have something high value delivered to my residence. And This fuck face is actually doing it.

At least FedEx actually delivered the package. I remember a couple years ago how FedEx delivered a HDTV I ordered off amazon to my neighbor's backyard. And amazon shipped it in its original packaging with a shipping label so everyone could see exactly what the item is. If they delivered it to my neighbor's front door I'm sure someone driving by would have just picked it up. Ever since then I refuse to order anything of large value with delivery. In store pick up only.

This is generally why when I order stuff I have it sent USPS (if it's an option). Sadly few places send anything through the mail anymore *looks at GameStop with an evil eye*

That's awesome. I want that job.

in his slim defence, he could have thought it was a parcel for pick up

 

Also, who the hell leaves an ipad on someones door step...

[Strider Hiryu 2,704]

That's how delivery companies are in the US. It costs them more money to keep it until it can be delivered so they just leave them now-a-days unless you pay extra money for the option to have a signature on delivery when you order it. It's retarded if you ask me.

[Sledgstone 8,672]

You'd think if an order was over a certain threshold of money, like $200, then it would require a signature for delivery. Now that I'm thinking about it, I think all the half-ass deliveries of expensive items started back when Gateway used to ship new computers in their cow printed boxes. I remember driving past people's houses and seeing those noticeable boxes just sitting there in front of there doors.. I'm really surprised more of those computers weren't stolen.

[Strider Hiryu 2,704]

More then likely because Gateway computers are pieces of crap (used to have a Gateway desktop, was nothing but a pain in my ass). I believe it used to be set up that way, if an order was more the $250 it required a signature no matter what (even if you didn't want to sign for it) or at least I know it used to be for UPS (one of my friends used to drive for them). FedEx I'm not sure but I remember back in the day I used to have to sign for all my packages that came through them (back when GameStop still used them to ship games).

 

I know when I got my laptop last year I had to sign for (then again it was freaking expensive) but that's the only thing I've signed for in the past 3 years or so.
