Just got my ass kicked by parcel service (plus a question)
 

I ordered a radio a few days ago, and knowing the problems some of
the parcel services have delivering on time and without damage, I
decided to take the day off when the it was due to arrive. Around 2
PM today, I heard a noise at the front gate and when I went to
investigate, I saw my package flying over the fence and landing in the
front yard. I couldn't see the driver, but boy was I ticked. This
was a $1500.00 Icom R8500 and this guy had just treated it like a
bale of hay. I screamed at the top of my lungs "You blithering idiot,
if you damaged my radio, I'm gonna kick your ass out the top of your
head and then call your boss and get your lazy butt fired"!

As I was bent over checking the condition of the package, the driver
apparently came over the fence and booted me right in the ass, causing
me to fall on the package. I managed to stagger to my feet and lunged
at the goon, but he got me in a head lock and proceeded to kick my ass
repeatedly all over the front yard, down the fence row, and back into
the front yard again. This guy was bull-strong, apparently from
throwing heavy packages over fences, and huge..at least 6 feet 7 and
probably 320 pounds. After beating the living daylights out of me for
the better part of 10 minutes, he headed back toward the fence, but
stopped near my package and did about 5 or 6 of those elbow drops on
it, like the pro wrestlers do. Needless to say, the radio was totally
destroyed.

The only good thing to come out of this was that the radio was insured
and I'll be able to get it replaced. Now here's my problem. Should I
use the same company for delivery next time? They did get the radio
to me pretty quickly and it probably would have arrived safely if the
driver hadn't thrown it over the fence. If I sit out on the street
with a real tough and intimidating look on my face when the driver
arrives next time, that should do the trick, don't you think?

1. You should have filed a police report.

2. You should have called the company who the driver belonged to and gotten
him fired.

3. You should have told them to give you $100,000 or you would take them to
court.

4. You shouldn't make threats you aren't 100% sure you can carry out.

5. You should make you story a little more believable next time.

Jesus Christ,, I hope you filed charges against the goon. If
that were me he wouldnt have to worry about the cops, I would
have my attorney go after the clown with a vengence. Criminal charges,
civil lawsuit, you no doubt have a bad back or neck problems from
this "right"?? by the time my attorney filed a 50,000$ lawsuit against
him and his company, I doubt he would be driving for very long.
Next time use Fed Ex,, never had a problem with them.

If this story is believable and actually happened then you should:

1. Look at the receipt. Take down the Bill of Lading number. There may be
other marks on it that indicate the route
number and possibly the driver name. But the Bill of Lading / Waybill
number can be used to track down exactly
how the item was delivered, as every time a package item changes hands
or vehicles it is recorded internally by the
company.

2. File a complaint against the driver at the delivery company. File for
reimbursement up to the level that was insured.
Don't speak to the cute girl at the front desk. See the Terminal
Manager. If he does nothing, then go to the District
Manager.

3. See a lawyer immediately.

4. Use another carrier. This is unacceptable. The driver should be fired
immediatly. If I had even a minor complaint
about service with a carrier I would not used them next time. I know
because I have been in transportation management.

5. Do not get antognistic next time. The drivers usually after a period of
time rotate their routes, so you may not end up
with "Joe Tough" next time even if you used the same carrier. Do not try
to correct a wrong on your own.

6. Make your story more believeable. If Some courier idiot did that to my
ICOM radio I would have immediatly gone over
to write down his plate number, or at least the truck's fleet or shop
number (usually in larger numerals than a licence plate).
It would be silly to try and get physical with a 350 pound gorilla with
an attitude. Trying out for WWF isn't going to get
you a new career to replace your day job.

That sounds appalling - lodge a rpeort with the police, and while you are at
it, stay out on the porch with the 12 guage shotty - may gain a little more
respect from him next time.

First of all, you had NO LEGAL right to even lay hands on the driver..whether
right or wrong. You should have called the service and filed a DAMAGE CLAIM for
the item and gone from there. Whether mad or not, the law doesnt ALLOW you to
attack folks who you are ****ed at. (Yes, we UNDERSTAND how you feel
but...).Screaming obscenities at the jerk only provoked him, and if you make a
LEGAL issue out of this, you WILL lose as YOU provoked HIM. Let it go and LEARN
from it.If you use the service again next time for another delivery, what are
you gonna do if the SAME GUY is the delivery person? Suggest you try another...

Absolutely. After all, they did give you good service. I wouldn't
sit on the street, though. What you should do, is figure out the
driver's route, and then, on the day you expect delivery, follow him
from his depot, with loaded shotgun..then, at an opportune point,
attack him and take your own parcel at gunpoint.
This way, you can claim you never received the parcel, and you can get
TWO radios....
