FedEX driver throws $1500 lens

What's funny is he tossed the box thinking it would save him from walking.  Then he ended up having to walk all the way back.

Anyone else watching this video and thinking that video quality is nice and that I need a NEST? :rofl:

But yeah, those FedEx guys dropped the ball, no pun intended!

We should note its just a couple dudes that work (or worked) for FedEx...I've seen the same and worse from UPS drivers, USPS drivers and DHL, etc....That's certainly NOT company policy and most of the people working for those delivery companies are conscientious......
Had that been my lens and I saw the video prior to opening I'd have been tempted to return it post haste.

Why so serious?

While these things are shipped to handle drops like this, there is zero excuse for this sort of handling.  I would have been ticked off as well.  

+1 I'm with you effron, I would have sent this back.

This doesn't look real. The truck is plain white, unmarked - no FedEx logo. The first guy is in khaki shorts and a dark hoodie - FedEx drivers wear dark blue uniforms (although this could be trainee I guess??).

The second guy has on a shirt and cap with a FedEx logo but - you can find those on ebay! lol And he's wearing a flannel shirt over it...

On the FedEx site there are pictures of their uniforms, that's what I see drivers wearing and I'm home during the day to see them often enough!

The person who is doing the channel where this was posted joined this summer and only has 5 videos. And this is supposed to be a photographer? There is one doing real estate by that name that shows up but I wonder if this could be a scam? identity theft? somebody with a grudge against FedEx? or what...

I agree, what’s with the non-branded truck?

These don't look like FedEx drivers, nor does that truck.  I smell something fishing.

All delivery firms hire a lot of temps this time of year.

When have you ever seen a FexEx driver look like that?  Drive a unmarked van like that?  This was done likely to earn money off YouTube.  That's my 2 cents.

Makes you wonder if people like this get fired when things blow up like this?

You are presuming this video is legitimate, which (if you read this thread) is questionable.

Hmmm, well what I have seen with my own eyes around here, this very well could be legit.  But the truck and people there don't look like any of the drivers I've seen.
