…but not necessarily in one piece:
In the video description, Goobie55 writes “The sad part is that I was home at the time with the front door wide open. All he would have had to do was ring the bell on the gate.” After being posted on YouTube, the video has attracted many comments relating to the plight of the homeowner and users are sharing negative delivery stories about FedEx through video responses as well. YouTube users have also responded by adding music to reposts of the video, the most timely being “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch.”
According to The Daily Mail, FedEx Senior Communications Specialist Shea Leordeanu stated “All of us here at FedEx have seen the video and quite frankly we were shocked.” Company officials plan to track down the delivery driver in addition to getting in touch with the YouTube user that posted the video in order to offer compensation for the monitor as well as an official apology.
As usual I’m late getting my presents in the mail — an insurmountable anti-Christmas mental block does the same thing to me every year. I was thinking about FedEx-ing them, but after seeing this video I guess they’ll just be late. Again. And why not? It’s becoming a Family Tradition.

It’s the subject of David Letterman’s Top Ten list tonight
and there is some YouTube footage also shown on his
program.
And so close to Christmas . . . .how can FedEx get over
this one?
Actually, it probably happened at just the right time for this year’s business: anyone who’s left their deliveries until this late stage doesn’t have much choice if they want them to get there on time. And by next year’s Christmas season this will be a vague fuzzy memory…
Here is the Fedex response:

From the statement:
I would have thought that “Don’t heave fragile packages over fences” is something we know by instinct, not a skill set that has to be learned
Did you see the speed and efficiency of that delivery! That’s the free market private courrier out-competing the government-run post office. Had the home owner simply paid more for the ultra thin monitor, the gallant delivery guy / capitalist hero could have tossed it BETWEEN the gate’s bars and inflicted less damage. What a nation of crybabies!
So use the post office and get it there a week late, or use a courier and get it there the next day, broken.
Some choice.
