Hey Amazon.ca! Wonder what the sound of a 2TB hard drive hitting my front door is? Here you go…

Oof. That hertz.
It professional here. Even if it was a HDD, powered off and not spinning it’s fine. I do worse with my backup drives.
That’s nothing compared to what happens in the sorting machinery. If it’s not packed well enough to handle that tumble it was packed negligently.
What a stupid call out.
If you package can’t handle a toss like that then it isn’t packaged right.
I had a drive shipped from Amazon, loose, in a big bubble wrap bag. It was floating in there.
It was, surprisingly, ok.
Wow, that was underwhelming.
Well that was a waste of my time.
That ain’t nothing. I’m sure your drive was fine.
This is only a taste of what packages go through in sorting etc
From my experience Amazon packs stuff completely inadequately. But it’s a calculated risk, only a fraction of products break. Packing them properly would probably cost more because it requires some human work, time and material. Warehouse automation just drops the shit in a bag/box.
The downside is, a product may have damage you don’t see until much later. I bought a camera lens from Amazon and much later it broke in very regular use. Never banged or dropped. I’m quite certain it was thrown around before I ever got it but it held up for a while.
Totally against these type of deliveries. Makes me angry every time I see it. Make sure you shovel and clear your walkways of snow and ice. Some companies brief their delivery drivers not to walk up stairs/pathways if they are not safe.
Ramona flowers would never
Somebody just got a doorbell cam
I just noticed that OP didn’t even bother to shovel the path or the porch. Lazy fuck.
If you want white glove delivery service then you’re going to need to pay a whole lot more money or sacrifice shit coming in two days.
Merchandise *should* be packed to handle much worse than being slid across a porch.
People in this thread are so delusional. [This is how sorting centers deal with your shit.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjdpz05u2DY)
If you receive broken stuff, congrats, you’re part of the rather negligible amount of unsatisfied customers that’ll have to send back the broken item and hope for one that didn’t get repeatedly kicked on the way to the truck.
You want your stuff asap like millions of others, that’s the price to pay.
Yeah if you don’t keep your walkway shoveled I’m gonna toss the package as soon as I’m close enough to your door. Not worth a slip and fall on poverty wages. Seriously, shovel your porch.
I had a delivery guy so this with a printer cartridge. 25 feet from our gate to our door. Just heaved it and hope for the best
Wtf is this comment section lmao. He literally tossed his parcel at the door, in what world do people think that is okay?
I don’t know if this is an American/Canadian thing, but do delivery drivers really not bother to knock on your door? They just leave the parcels at your door step? Mental.
As someone who worked with logistics: It has been through *way* worse.
It’s because you had a nest and not a ring doorbell! 😂
This was mild, it slid across the porch before bumping to a stop. It wasn’t the most gentle handling, but that hard drive saw a lot worse at the sorting facility before it ever got on that truck.
If you think that was bad you should see what happens to it at the warehouse.
Lmao OP won’t even answer anyone in the thread probably gonna delete the account
OP softer than the packaging used to protect the drive.
OMG.. are you ok, OP?
I don’t condone throwing packages. However I lack sympathy for someone who hasn’t cleared their driveway let alone the porch of snow complaining about getting something delivered. The lazy hypocrisy is just astounding.
Lmao you have no idea what packages really get sent through do you
You realize this is exactly how every package is treated in a UPS sorting facility.
