    How do you know there are gold coins in a box ?

    If you know who it was shipped from or to you might have a good idea.

    Not to minimize this particular pond scum, but I have never had any issues with any FedEx shipment of mine.

    My brother loaded semi’s many years ago. You would be surprised how many things that fell off a truck was exactly something he wanted.

    Jordan needed a stolen gun to protect the stolen gold. 2 negatives make a positive. The new math.

    Last FedEx ground from NGC was agonizing, waited around for hours and then driver said no access to location, happened two times, the only reason I got it was I got through to a supervisor and kept up trying to connect. Never again; usps is far better.

    Not FedEX this time, but news showed an Amazon delivery truck in Atlanta. Driver got out to deliver a package, pack of what appeared to be 10 or 15 teens fell on to the truck, jumped in and jumped out with arm loads of packages. Driver just stood by and watched. How long before that happens to a FedEx truck taking packages to the TPGS? If 20 people rush the truck they can have it empty in about 2 minutes. No driver is going to risk their lives trying to protect packages.

    And what keeps that from happening to a USPS vehicle? It’s unfair to use that as an example to pick on FedEx.

    Robbing a USPS truck is a Federal crime and they would be prosecuted by a Federal prosecutor rather than a local elected prosecutor.

    Unfortunately I don’t think that is the deterrent it used to be. My local po has a couple dozen boxes inside the po that were pried open about a month ago still waiting to be repaired. Every time I have to go pickup a package there is a line now at the pickup window with people waiting to pickup mail from the boxes in their neighborhoods that were broken into. The person in the window told me maintenance is at about 3 months for repairs because they are so busy with broken into boxes.

    Does a teenage gang necessarily care? They might. But I generally feel that you don't commit the crime worrying about what happens when you're caught.

    I'm not a crook, but I would think crooks doing these types of crimes do not make that differentiation. My point about using that example for FedEx (which did NOT happen) is unfair, as it CAN happen to a USPS vehicle as well as FedEx and UPS, not just to Amazon.

    I wonder if they have this problem in countries with Sharia law. ;)

    I agree with the implication. My guess is that's not a problem there, or in other places where the "punishment" is clear.

    You could likely be assured that it has happened with all of them. Most probably don't make the news.

    I have. They leave packages that require a signature on your porch, even when you're at home. They left a large PCGS submission return package on my porch and apparently snuck away. Maybe it was our ferocious 3-legged chihuahua that scared them off, I don't know.

    That sounds like an employee problem, not Fed-x policy and HE/ SHE should be reported! My Fed-X person requires ID or no package!

  • BarberianBarberian Posts: 3,631 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Yes, it's an employee problem. And because of this employee and his careless handling of a valuable package, I will not use FEDEX.

    No, but they have a severe brutality problem. And, I suspect, harsh discrimination against all amputees.
