Video: FedEx workers couldn’t care less about the way they load their delivery van

Everyone knows that the terms ‘handle with care’ and ‘fragile’ are often taken with a pinch of salt by delivery workers, but these Fed-Ex employees in New York are taking the piss.

Everyone knows that the terms ‘handle with care’ and ‘fragile’ are often taken with a pinch of salt by delivery workers, but these FedEx employees in New York are taking the piss.

One of the most well-known delivery companies in the world have been forced into an embarrassing apology after footage of two workers in a FedEx warehouse in Manhattan showing scant regard for customer merchandise went viral in the last couple of days.

Because we’re not directly affected we can laugh at the ‘couldn’t give a sh*t’ approach of the workers in question, who eventually enter into a competition to see who can throw packages the furthest into the van and seemed to be getting a kick out of it too.

FedEx have since apologised for the actions of their employees and have promised to conduct an investigation and it isn’t the first time they’ve been forced into such a move having had to do likewise when one of their employees was caught throwing a box containing a computer monitor over a fence two years ago.

We think we might go back to simply buying stuff in a shop again ourselves after seeing this sort of carry-on.
