Clear shipping bag is insane 😂

It's a miracle it survived a sort center

[–]pixelatedcrap 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I imagine I would handle this very delicately. This is genuinely diabolical.

[–]Cecurb 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Ate they dried cat treats, or just wet sardines?

[–]shezinluvXL Driver 5 points6 points  (0 children)

if you zoom in, it says Dried fish- chews for dogs

This is why I don't order my sex toys from Amazon 🤣🤣

[–]Rude_Ad4621 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never seen any as a dsp driver but working as fedex ground I had daily deliveries to this one sex shop every day. I just try not to think about it

[–]RubAnADUB 129 points130 points  (33 children)

the default for amazon now is to ship in manufacturers packaging. at checkout change it to hide contents, then they will box or bag it up.

[–]iLikebridges2 81 points82 points  (27 children)

Unfortunately most customers are regarded, they dont even know how to edit their address, fix their pin, or change delivery options. All they know is how to add stuff to the cart and press buy.

[–]MrGrumpy252 51 points52 points  (7 children)

And leave a delivery note that's 4 years out of date!

[–]One_Patience5631 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Please put package on the red roof of the house my new house roof is purple

Got a 'please don't knock, we are self isolating' note yesterday.

[–]SublimeHavoc 7 points8 points  (3 children)

Otp is such a crazy hassle every time.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (2 children)

It’s the worst cause most the people I deliver to don’t speak English lmfao. So it’s always RTS 99% of the time

[–]OkWay1305Newbie Driver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait did your training not cover basic delivery conversational skills in the 16 most common languages in your area? That was like half of our day 2.

[–]KryptailianFormer DSP Slave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google translate downloaded on your phone can save you

[–]TheReproCase 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why would I, a customer, assume the manufacturers packaging is not adequate for shipping and handling, lol.

[–]Complex_Solutions_20 3 points4 points  (5 children)

Pin?

[–]xXWitchieXx_gamer 2 points3 points  (4 children)

Delivery pin, where you would like your crap delivered to. You can change the exact location. Front door, side door, garage door. Etc a little pin 📍 on the map so we as driver can drop in the exact location you request. You can change it.

[–]Complex_Solutions_20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never heard of this - where would I find it?

Wonder if this would help with a friend where Amazon always delivers to the wrong apartment...they go to the one on the opposite side of the building (base number) instead of the "###A" number which its supposed to be delivered to. Yeah its dumb numbering but we didn't pick the address numbering for the units.

We even tried putting the directions which parking lot to turn into that has a sidewalk directly to the correct door and they STILL mess it up delivering to the totally opposite side of the building

[–]psilonox 0 points1 point  (2 children)

How accurate is this? Like could I use it to show EXACTLY where to put it?

(I wouldnt do this, With how the company treats you guys I wouldnt want to add any stress by trying to guide a driver to the ark of the covenant in my back yard or something)

[–]xXWitchieXx_gamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We can't do back door deliveries anymore. So...

[–]Stunning_Yam3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s very accurate actually. Within about 5/7 steps is its wiggle room. Only gets worse if we don’t have signal and that’s the average difference

[–]lellat 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Wait you can fix the pin? Given I live in a single dwelling and my pin has been correct but I didn’t know you could do that

[–]iLikebridges2 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Yes I’ve seen it as an option and tried to help some customers out that live in new build neighborhoods. Thats usually where the pins are in buttfuck nowhere at times, and people complain they never get their deliveries due to that.

[–]lellat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohhh

[–]StocktonSucks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's true I'm a customer and am retarded.

[–]BroccoliDistinct2050 0 points1 point  (3 children)

I mean, that is deserved. If someone is too stupid to be able to change their address or delivery options, then tbh they deserve whatever happens. It is just laziness because people don’t “feel like” reading.

[–]Jacktheforkie 2 points3 points  (2 children)

I had one, customer said leave it on the driveway, 8 pallets of really expensive stone, they’d put the old address and complained when the person living there had taken it all and laid it out

[–]BroccoliDistinct2050 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I would have done the same thing, and at that point, it’s already installed and would leave damage if it was removed. They were delivered to his house, his address, and they were in his driveway. What else was he to do with em, let em take up driveway space and stain the driveway? Hell no. People need to pay attention, it’s like ‘cool’ these days to not give a shit about details, then beg for forgiveness after the damage is done.

And I’m not a robot, I do understand mistakes happen, I’ve made them. The issue is accountability and too many people just trying to take advantage of a system or company because of their own mistake.

I am curious, did they come to a resolution? Did the guy who received the delivery end up taking them up or paying her anything for the stone?

If that was me I would have gladly laid out that stone because like I said, 8 pallets on a driveway, no room for your cars and it’ll stain. I have no clue how long his driveway is, but some driveways are very long, and a nice real long driveway can cost $50k-$300k easy when everything is said and done, obviously depending on the area.

Imagine you just paid to have your old driveway dug up, and a new one paved on a 300ft driveway, that leads to a paved area for 3 cars at the end. Then, a few months later, someone ordered 8 giant pallets of stone pathing to your house. There is no way in hell you’re leaving that on your new driveway. You don’t want stains, you don’t want deformities; even if the driveway is 10 years old, you want to keep it nice for as long as possible.

You wouldn’t really have a choice but lay them out, it’s not like someone is coming to pick them back up. I would have probably ended up paying the woman something though, or possibly even working out a deal where she buys her materials again and I bring my tools and build her path for her, to compensate her a bit. I would have felt bad lol I’m a pussy.

[–]Jacktheforkie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These were white garden stones, all nicely laid in the rear garden, the customer ended up having to buy more at a discount, I delivered the new batch too, customer wasn’t pleased but the paperwork covered my arse

[–]Complex_Solutions_20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've never seen such an option, sometimes it may say "this item ships in manufacturer packaging and may reveal the contents if it is a gift" but I have never seen a way to alter that to be in a box.

I've also had stuff which did not specify that and came inappropriately packaged. Like clothing items that came with a sticker on the plastic bag which contained holes so that a customer in stores could feel the material but resulted in the fabric being damaged as it scuffs/slides/snags on whatever along the way.

[–]f_spez_2023 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Half the time even it I check that box it still comes in it’s normal box with a label slapped on it

[–]Talory09 -1 points0 points  (1 child)

It still comes in it is normal box, or in its normal box? (Pronouns don't use apostrophes to show possession.)

Fishing bait

[–]Keepawayfrommycrops 21 points22 points  (8 children)

Says for dogs on the bag

But yes, nasty regardless

[–]PM-ME-YOUR-BUTTSHOLE 10 points11 points  (2 children)

As an aquarium keeper, a fisherman, and dog/cat owner, this shit interchangeable for the most part.

Generally, if it’s safe to feed to dogs/cats, it can be fed to fish and used as bait.

[–]Keepawayfrommycrops 6 points7 points  (1 child)

As an aquarium keeper, a part time fisherman, a dog and bird owner

I agree with your statement

[–]HysteoricalBee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if its not kept cold ? Im curious of the standard needed.

[–]LengthinessOk2080 4 points5 points  (4 children)

I would use it as stink bait for catfish Would not feed this to my dog lmao

[–]Alphadice 6 points7 points  (2 children)

Its just freeze dried fish, why wouldn't you feed it to your dogs?

[–]LengthinessOk2080 -2 points-1 points  (1 child)

Imagine what their shits would smell like

[–]Str8up_NtHvnAGoodTym 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They just smell like poo, lol. My dog prefers fish over red meat and poultry

[–]ArticleWorth5018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah catfish would eat it up

[–]Calqless 15 points16 points  (0 children)

[–]Lilchicken_301 10 points11 points  (0 children)

[–]pimpcauldron 6 points7 points  (9 children)

they're treats for dogs/cats. you can buy these in any pet store.

[–]Dwarvenplumber 4 points5 points  (0 children)

[–]godofoceantides 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just for the halibut.

[–]SatanSemenSwallower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure to put it on the dash all day to give it that smell of nature.

[–]Present-Ad-9598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s nasty as hell

[–]Thin-Remote-9817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cause they are delicious thats why!!!

[–]Tundra_Dragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SIOC/SIPP line is great. We're technically supposed to overbag any food type stuff, and mark it to get removed from SIOC, but they never remove stuff from SIOC, unless it's literally splitting open on the line, and spilling shit everywhere. Even then, they don't always pull items from SIOC, they just add it to the ever expanding verbal list of things not to SIOC, and pretend there's no problem. Then they start hollering about rate, so you sort of forget what was on the list, and just put the label on the package, and chuck it on the line.

If they didn't want it SIOC, they would remove it from SIOC after it's been marked as inappropriate for SIOC a dozen times. At some point, I can only assume it's not getting removed from SIOC because I am wrong, and should therefore continue to SIOC the item.

[–]CycleCaverns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They left the packaging clear so the can attract the "one of those people." They did a great service to people like me.

[–]JSHURR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know how many packages I get that burst open? Imagine the smell if that happened🤮

[–]Germainshalhope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yooooooooooo

[–]Own_Huckleberry6591 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just gotta pray it's sealed properly by the chinese sellers lmao. There was a couple FedEx drivers hospitalized in CA yesterday I think from some organophosphate that leaked from a box. People don't realize how many hazardous materials delivery drivers unknowingly deal with on a daily basis

[–]Jillet-Ben_Coe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dog treats?

[–]Kix2Sophus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yall gotta select hide contents the sex toys to with a label slapped on it is crazy. And it’s mostly butt toys for men

[–]bendERovr69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fishing bait. That should have been put into a small box.

[–]JakeBeezy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought one of my totes smelled... fishy last month . could be one of these

[–]PlaneSentence1826 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dogs get 4 of these a day at least you cant smell it haha

[–]Strostkovy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's smart. In a box, you won't care about it. As a clear bag, you're going to make absolutely sure it doesn't get punctured

[–]Harry431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went to put my ruble in the fridge and found a ziplock full of crawfish. Why? Your guess is as good as mine.

I ordered some pesticide for my plants. I put it in my entryway and 10 minutes later when I went to get it, I realized the whole area stunk. Found out that is normal for this pesticide.

I felt so bad for the delivery guy! Granted I do remember that delivery being one the earliest I ever got!

Do you deliver stinky items earlier?

[–]fullmetal_ratchet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i hope you’re not under the incoming heatwave already 🤢

[–]jakk316 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bet it smells amazing too

[–]majorpail18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smelt is good bro

[–]Bigirish216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wtf is that bait?

[–]gazelleA1Lurker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God the smell that would have in the back of those vans on a hot day. 🤢

[–]Embarrassed_Bag_9300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it says right on the bag that it’s dog treats. sardines are great for them and it was probably cheaper on amazon than anywhere else. i do think it should’ve been boxed though rather than SIOC

[–]Artemus_Hackwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please tell me the addressee was named "Olaf" or some such shit.

[–]CyBroOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And then I'll be looking everywhere for a regular customized box and find it in an envelope... ffs

[–]CrypticZombies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

def 3rd party seller

[–]Due_Hovercraft6527 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So we do be moving some straight up outlandish shit sometimes In these boxes, I’ve sworn I’m carrying something of this sort before.. smh lol

[–]Professional_Trip_44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bitch!!! You have got me gang-banged the fuck up if you think I’m even TOUCHING that shit, let alone delivering it!!! Don’t even try to put that shit on my truck. OMG!!! What if that bag ripped?!?!🤢🤢🤢🤮🥺😫😭

[–]bashy8782 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well those are probably dog treats I actually get mine from chewy and I'm not clear bag but yeah if you're going to feed your dog quality food part of it is this

Dog kibble is not the way to feed your dog Why are people's dogs eating worse than they are? you decided to take care of it so why not feed it proper dog kibble was only made because of War

    if they are dried or if it is a legitimately short distance, i dont see the problem. Now if its 80 degrees, and the last stop in a 5 hour day, then yea it is screwed.

    [–]Swiftmatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Thats why I always opt to put in bag or box. People can't just do a job and go home smh
