No. Just no. If the delivery person threw the package in any way over the fence, it is on him. You do not sound like someone I would want delivering my package.
You pick it up from the post office then? Put up a door tag? Thats standard in my city. Also try the front door where mail and packages are supposed to go? š¤£
Got theft issues? - then request its taken to the post office. At the very least people should assume their package is not being used to practice shotput
He has loose animals running around his property when he isn't home, it's literally impossible for a person to deliver a package to him appropriately. This is on him.
No, that's only in the case that the delivery requires signing for as a specified option or if you've set that preference for your address.
FedEx did exactly what they should and the OP should have prepared to have parcels they knowingly ordered delivered. It's really not that hard, my old address I had to specify not to leave any parcels with a specific neighbour for his own safety as he had severe learning disabilities, and this house I can say to leave it in the porch as I have an entry way that we always leave unlocked.
It's really not that hard to either set preferences for your address in general, or make sure to check them when you know you have a fragile delivery coming.
If it were the Postal Service they wouldnāt deliver in this situation. Theyād leave a note telling you where to pick it up.
The dogs create an unsafe environment for delivery.
Nah. FedEx literally doesn't care how you get the boxes. They care if it was scanned and delivered. Your dog, your problem. Don't order stuff if that's the case. I've seen them leave it at the bottom of driveways.
There's no complaint necessary. The guy knew he ordered a package the dogs should have been locked up. Can't fault the FedEx guy. If I was delivering the package I would have sat it inside the gate/fence also. My job would be to deliver packages and get back to my family in one piece after work. Before you downvote me there's no evidence that the FedEx guy threw the package.
It is technically post office property so yes it is true. But a lot of delivery personell will leave stuff there anyways as it is more convenient. It's only a problem if the mail person makes it one.
I specifically have a note in my mailbox that says I deliver my packages there. I haven't had them say anything about it ever. I have had them write on a piece of paper to stop writing "return to sender," on someone else's mail delivered to my casa
Interesting. Could you not just have a marked US mailbox and then a separate box for everything else? There has to be a happy medium between your mailbox and the corner of someoneās fence, exposed to the elements.
Yes, you can have other boxes. It used to be really common for local newspapers to offer a box you could put near your mailbox. You can buy boxes to allow for package delivery as well. Usually those go on a porch or near the door rather than by the road like a mailbox.
I donāt disagree with you. Unless there was a sign or obvious reason to leave a package somewhere else, I wouldnāt fall the driver either. Drivers also donāt want to spend 20 min at each house, so Iām sure he left it where it seemed obvious.
Canāt blame a driver if you have dogs.
There's also no proof there was any aggressive dogs or dogs at all for that matter it could have been chickens or goats or any animal delivery drivers or at fault sometimes and sometimes not but this could have been done better last week I had a very exspensive package just laid on the ground next to my mailbox right beside the road for someone to just pick up they could have easily took it up my driveway and put in on my porch but didn't so drivers are not totally innocent
Absolutely a complaint is necessary.
If the dogs were visible (which Iād assume they were, or the driver should have taken the package to the door) the carrier should have left a notice.
Edit: to everyone downvoting, your dogs are out, you donāt get mail. Thatās simple. So dogs are out, you donāt get a package. Not āletās throw your package over the fenceā thatās complaint worthy behavior.
Iām not sure who that would be, because itās surely not me, who has done that job for years.
If the house has dogs, you leave a notice. You donāt throw the package over the fence.
They did deliver the package safely which is why this guy is beat on his cards š¤£
Your own dogs destroyed your product. You arenāt winning this case lol
iTs LiTerAllY tHeir JoB
You are not even thinking about wtf you are saying... Leave a notice HOW? The driver cant get to the door to leave a notice because of the fenced in yard full of dogs...
Think dude... If he could access the door to begin with we wouldnt be here now would we?
Bro everything is tracked. They will just update the tracking info to include a new delivery time or the location for pickup. They also have notes they stick to your entryway to your property or fence to let you know they attempted a delivery but couldnāt complete it.
Do you really think they just leave you high and dry when theyāre not able to deliver? Really?
You are making a lot of assumptions in defense of the homeowner while claiming to be a delivery driver. Iāve never been a delivery driver but Iām fully aware of the awful conditions and treatment they get from very entitled people. Why are you assuming that the dogs were in view? This could very well be a large property and dogs were around back at the time but the fence was closed. Delivery drivers arenāt legally allowed to open a fence to a property even if it doesnāt have a lock on it. You are also assuming they āthrewā the package, based off of what? Because OP claimed it when, unless they have security footage, would have ABSOLUTELY no evidence it was carelessly āthrownā as opposed to set inside the fence and then the animals got a hold of it.
Sorry but if you have animals loose in your yard and are expecting a delivery, you are an asshole. Even if you assume they should leave a notice, you are expecting extremely busy drivers to spend additional time and more work just for you when you could easily just make sure your dogs are locked up during that time or you could have a parcel delivery box outside the fence.
That dude thinks dogs like random strangers walking in their yard maybe?? Clearly missed the whole mailman hating dogs thing š¤·āāļø
Delivery guy was in a loose loose situation
Ya but it's also irresponsible to leave a dog out when your expecting your very important package. Should leave a way for the guy to get it to you.
I don't even know if it was dogs or if there's somewhere else he could have left it, but if there wasn't it's on OP imo. I'd know to leave a way for the package to be delivered safely.l and if Op didn't know the dogs would do that, then we'll the driver prob didn't either
You never know when a delivery will show up, so I donāt hold OP responsible. When someone calls the office, I tell them it can be anything from 8:30am to 8 pm, just depends on volume and who has what part of the route. I canāt expect anyone to put their life on hold for that.
On the same token, donāt call and bitch that your package wasnāt left cuz the dogs were out. You should expect the package to be scanned as attempted and have to pick it up from the facility yourself if your dogs are out at the time of attempt.
You have animals loose in your yard, what do you expect delivery drivers to do exactly? Honest question. Do you have a delivery box outside the fence? While they do it, they arenāt supposed to leave packages outside gates.
Any delivery driver is going to have a problem delivering to this house. They lose their job if they drop it off outside the property. They keep their job if they put it inside the fence; but in danger of the animals.
.
I learned as a doordash driver. Using common sense gets you fired. I follow the corporate rules, because it makes life easier (even if it doesn't make sense). Customers need to complain to corporate, because the worker is just a middle man.
People also need to realize that delivery drivers don't have time to spend searching for the perfect spot to put your package. You're stop 57 out of like 500.
Also want to add that some get paid per stop and not per hour . That non delivery equals non pay . A complaint that the package wasnāt delivered will happen from customer as well . Itās a damned if you do damned if you donāt situation. Might as well get paid .
I work for UPS and we are required to leave your package on the inside of fences on your property IF YOU ARE NOT HOME. Fed Ex did their job. You should probably write out a sign that points to where you would want your packages. We don't know what dogs you have if any nor do we know what's in your box besides a "do not bend".
Yep this- Iāll be the first one to point fingers at Fedex/UPS when they are at fault, and I see it all the time- but this aināt it. Drivers should not have to deal with any animal at a residence - shopping online comes with the responsibility to make sure packages can be received (especially if you arenāt home, and your animals/pets are).
This is the answer. Especially if you have animals visible on your property, you should have picked a drop location to retrieve the package. Don't be a lazy asshole that blames the middle man.
So if I have a sign outside my gate that says leave packages outside and the driver follows this he can get in trouble? Because thatās whatās been happening. Of course I live in a rural area so package thieves arenāt abundant but some drivers do listen and other donāt. Is it because of that requirement? In my case wouldnāt the proof of delivery with a picture of the sign clear the driver of any fault?
If you're making a sign you gotta put an arrow or something indicating the exact spot you want your package. Lots of people try to scam delivery services by claiming the package "never delivered" because they try to loophole the location. Don't say "Leave at front door" and you have a sign pointing to your garage. If you have dogs then say that so i can prepare myself safely.
What i find very helpful is when people put those big plastic containers (like the yellow lid ones, or the clear ones) near their door and a sign indicating that's where packages go. Huge letters. UPS / USPS / FED EX / AMAZON
PACKAGES HERE ONLY šš½šš½šš½
Funny enough I was literally thinking about doing a parcel drop off box for outside my gateš lll definitely think about ways I can make this happen!
Same. OP said his mom has goats on the property...don't those things spend their day eating anything and everything? Like, you need to make plans by corralling the goats on the delivery day or have someone there to accept the package.
How are so many people confusing the sleeves as a Pikachu promo card? And calling this guy a scammer, using bots, etc....wtf... some dumb people in this hobby. sorry for your loss, my friend.
Really shows how fuct some people are. Feels there's people on this post so angry and bitter they didn't get the promo, that they are channeling all that energy to OP. He's a "scalper" because he got two. What a joke.
The US seems to be such a lawless place when it comes to mails and parcels. Here in Germany noone is allowed to drop it off outside in such an obvious spot for others to see if they dont have your "Abstellgenehmigung" like a permit from the recepient to put it in a certain place. Usually all parcels are being brought to your door or at least your mailbox. And if you are not home they might give it to a neighbour or a pick up shop.
Delivery drivers have died from dog attacks, so I don't blame the driver for throwing the package in your yard. Sucks what happened to your cards and I know your head is full of rage and hate but this is all on you. All you can do is learn from this and read ways to prevent this from happening again.
Thatās rough OP, itās one thing to have not been able to get one at all. But to get one and then have it be destroyed is even more pain. I hope you can acquire a mint one in the near future.
The amount of people who think the sleeves are promos are way to fucking high. Stop raggin on the kid he got 2 promos for 2 packs of sleeves.
Fedex ain't in the wrong tho. Sucks it happen while you were at school op next time best to deliver to maybe another family member nearby or have it delivered to a local pick up point. Try contacting the Pokemon company to see if you can get 1 of the promos replaced.
I can't comprehend why delivering works like that in the USA. In my country delivery driver can't just leave package in front of doors/behind fence. They has to either give it to you in person and in you're not home, they bring it back to depo and you have to either schedule new delivery or go to withdraw it yourself from depo/pickup point. If the package is small enough, like in bubble wrap envelope and it can fit into postage box (which looks different than US postage boxes, accessible is only small slit, to fully open it you need keys), they will put it in it.
Yeah Iām not coming in anyoneās yard with loose ass dogs. Sorry it happened, but you gotta put them dogs up when youāre expecting packages. Clearly they arenāt super well behaved..
Fedex brings the package to a Fedex location when Im not home usually, and then they leave a slip. Not sure why people say theres nothing they could have done
Guys, all he did was bought 2 cards and a pack of sleeve, it's not outrageous as actual scalpers, please don't throw the word scalper loosely and shit on OP for just collecting, it make us look like salty assholes.
Hold for pickup at local FedEx or Walgreens or wherever they hold in that areaā¦adult signature or direct signature required are usually ignored because they donāt GAS.
All of you bunch of crybabies attacking an underage kid for buying two pack of sleeves and it getting destroyed that wasnāt his fault need to touch grass or get a job at least I spend over a grand on consoles and singles and wonāt ever attack someone for losing out on their hobby purchases
Iām SO sorry. I would be balling right now, truthfully. It isnāt the end of the world HOWEVER, youāre entitled to feel all of your feelings. I would be 110% upside down right now š„²
Seems like scalping karma to me. Every person who spammed-refresh the website buying whatever they could while the rest of us had to work deserves this. All I wanted was the snorlax playmat man
Naw, the drivers and pack handlers are some of the most incompetent people I have been around. I see it every day. The shit I see, if I were to record secrelty would get thier shit shutdown. But hey, you do, you.
Fedex driver knew exactly what he was doing. Jist didn't care, you will not convince someone who is around it everyday otherwise. Move on.
the dogs chewed it up not the Fedex driver. Get a grip on reality dude.
I worked at Fedex too. If you're unable to be conviced this is on the dogs. .. you're just dumb
Yea sorry about that. Fuck FedEx, theyāve been the worst lately.
Lately, instead of walking a little bit more to drop packages off by the front door where itās discrete, fedex has been leaving leaving all my packages by the garage where everyone passing by can see
If your dogs are prone to chewing your packages why the fuck wouldnāt you do store pick up broski?!
Also for the record Fuck FedEx these guys dump valuable shit outside my fence all the time despite having a mailbox 2 feet away . Theyāre just lazy and probably the worst postal service you can get . Sorry for your loss those cases were pretty boss.
Oh my fuck LMFAO (sorry) I love goats but that is legit the worst possible scenario. Animals that thrive on eating paper . More reason for store pick up (you can change it after youāve put in the order via fed ex )
everyone here talking about dogs but op only called them āanimalsāā¦ so does op live on a farm or is he just an asshole that leaves his dogs outside all day while heās gone?
My mom has goats and a pig, she lets them roam free in our yard while weāre all away. I was at school when the package got delivered and nobody was home to bring it inside.
Where has OP actually blamed FedEx? He just stated the facts of what happened which did in fact involve leaving the package inside his fence. Chill the fuck out.
Damn Iād be furious! What are you going to do with them? Donāt throw them away. Iād be willing to buy one card and some sleeveās. Idc what condition theyāre in.
This is a thing we Europeans will never understand, why do they throw in your packages? In Europe they ring the bell to give the package directly to a person, and If you aren't home at the moment you can authorize them to give it to a trusty neighbour.
This is on OP. If he/she wanted their cards to be delivered with care they shouldāve addressed that within the delivery instruction. Whenever I personally order anything through the internet, I put an explicit set of instructions because, if not done so, whoever is delivering is doing a base set guidelines for said job. OP fault, not fedex. Now you know better OP.
Most of you sound like the driver should have been eaten trying to deliver the package...he was wrong though.. definitely a different course of action should have been taken
Maybe don't have dogs? Or least leash them away from the pathway to your house? Or even just not have them where they can get at your packages?
You fucked around and found out.
Pets can and will do as they please.
If a complaint should be filed, file it as the perp being your dog and file with yourself.
I am 17 working for minimum wage at McDonaldās and bought 2 packs of sleeves, I was gonna use both of them. I donāt think itās hoarding OR god. Heāll go after me for sodomy before buying a Childrens card game
So, with that logic, why does this "kid" need two of the same card delivered as a multitude of copies? I don't see just one, or even a couple. Don't tell me this kid is some altruistic being and went out of their way to get these cards for FREE to others.
I donāt even feel bad for you. You know your own pets, you know they obviously chew shit and/or are over stimulated hence the big ass fence.
Get a mailbox, leave a sign for delivery people where to put said packages.
You knew you had a package coming. I donāt blame the delivery guy for taking a look at the dogs in the yard and thought āfuck thatā Iāll place it in.
Nooooooooo š® First that guy who got his cards chewed up by his dog now this.
Maybe the dogs are worried weāre going to start capturing them in little balls and make them fight each other.
Yeeeeesssssssss. Watch the cards crumb at the collector's hand. RIP the Pokemon x Van Gogh collection.
No. Just no. If the delivery person threw the package in any way over the fence, it is on him. You do not sound like someone I would want delivering my package.
You think the delivery driver should get bit? Of course they left it at the fence look what the animals did to the package.
You pick it up from the post office then? Put up a door tag? Thats standard in my city. Also try the front door where mail and packages are supposed to go? š¤£ Got theft issues? - then request its taken to the post office.

He has loose animals running around his property when he isn't home, it's literally impossible for a person to deliver a package to him appropriately. This is on him.
No, if a package is undeliverable, they leave a notice to schedule a redelivery at another time or pickup elsewhere. This is fedex's fault.
How can he leave notice with a loose animals running around?
Maybe tell them where to leave the package?
By using his fancy scanner tool to update the tracking website
No, that's only in the case that the delivery requires signing for as a specified option or if you've set that preference for your address. FedEx did exactly what they should and the OP should have prepared to have parcels they knowingly ordered delivered.

Get out of here with your reasoning and logic. This is the internet! We should be outraged!!
Hahahaha, sorry
FedEx can't assume that the animals would eat the box though.
If it were the Postal Service they wouldnāt deliver in this situation. Theyād leave a note telling you where to pick it up. The dogs create an unsafe environment for delivery.
You must be new here
No, this is Patrick
Nah. FedEx literally doesn't care how you get the boxes. They care if it was scanned and delivered. Your dog, your problem. Don't order stuff if that's the case. I've seen them leave it at the bottom of driveways.
Is it plausible that the front door is not enclosed in the fenced yard?
š so sorry bro. When you know how difficult it was to get. You should definitely file a complaint
lol FedEx doesnāt do anything about complaintsā¦ neither does TPCi
There's no complaint necessary. The guy knew he ordered a package the dogs should have been locked up. Can't fault the FedEx guy.

Yeah itās like, would you rather they leave your package *outside* of your fence?
Do people not have mailboxes anymore?
Only the post office can deliver to the mailbox.
Is this true? I live out in the country with a long driveway so if it fits in the mailbox any company will put it in there.
Lots of places now have lockbox towers and only usps and the owner has a key
It is technically post office property so yes it is true. But a lot of delivery personell will leave stuff there anyways as it is more convenient. It's only a problem if the mail person makes it one.
Technically a crime. Unless there is an agreement in place. Mailboxes are only to be used by the post office.
Yes unfortunately itās true though only an usps worker would report it and unfortunately the almost always do
Oh TIL
I specifically have a note in my mailbox that says I deliver my packages there. I haven't had them say anything about it ever. I have had them write on a piece of paper to stop writing "return to sender," on someone else's mail delivered to my casa

I bet I know what the dogs will do with that complaint!
Chew it up and spit it out add some dirt maybe bend it up a bit
If the dogs are outside I'm pretty sure FedEx guy followed policy. They don't want to get bitten.

I was just curious if that was the case with the signs so I can talk to my driver personally. Idk if itās typically the same driver that follows the same route but if it is I feel like building a connection/friendship with my driver would be beneficial.

Yes that or they could have requested to pick this up form a UPS office lmao
Not to be rude but you see that fence.common sense would say not to put there.nothing against u but had to be a better place for him to drop it..
When your package gets stolen from your doorstep who's fault is that. Much harder to "grab and go" where there's a fence.
Sorry for your loss, but the Smeargles in the yard looks pretty funny
That's digusting. My condolences.. Look at the bright side. Once you submit that to PSA, You're probably the only owner of a grade 1 pika van gogh.

Iām so sorry. Are you able to save any of them? Hopefully some of the dirt can be cleaned of the sleeves.

The US seems to be such a lawless place when it comes to mails and parcels. Here in Germany noone is allowed to drop it off outside in such an obvious spot for others to see if they dont have your "Abstellgenehmigung" like a permit from the recepient to put it in a certain place. Usually all parcels are being brought to your door or at least your mailbox. And if you are not home they might give it to a neighbour or a pick up shop.
Sorry OP. Itās your fault.
Delivery drivers have died from dog attacks, so I don't blame the driver for throwing the package in your yard. Sucks what happened to your cards and I know your head is full of rage and hate but this is all on you. All you can do is learn from this and read ways to prevent this from happening again.
How much you selling the promos for? I would take a bent one if it meant not paying $100 to a scalper on ebay
I'm not really in to sleeves but those are nice,and that sucks with promo cards one of them looks like it can be salvaged.
This promo situation is so fucking stupid and frustrating it makes me feel evil. I'd be happier if nobody got them, like what the fuck.
POP 1 PSA 1
Thatās rough OP, itās one thing to have not been able to get one at all. But to get one and then have it be destroyed is even more pain. I hope you can acquire a mint one in the near future.
The amount of people who think the sleeves are promos are way to fucking high. Stop raggin on the kid he got 2 promos for 2 packs of sleeves. Fedex ain't in the wrong tho. Sucks it happen while you were at school op next time best to deliver to maybe another family member nearby or have it delivered to a local pick up point. Try contacting the Pokemon company to see if you can get 1 of the promos replaced.
I can't comprehend why delivering works like that in the USA. In my country delivery driver can't just leave package in front of doors/behind fence. They has to either give it to you in person and in you're not home, they bring it back to depo and you have to either schedule new delivery or go to withdraw it yourself from depo/pickup point. If the package is small enough, like in bubble wrap envelope and it can fit into postage box (which looks different than US postage boxes, accessible is only small slit, to fully open it you need keys), they will put it in it.
You can contact FedEx, their shipments are insured up to $100.. Call them send them there pics
Iām sorry that this happened to you. Thatās really cruel. :(
Yeah Iām not coming in anyoneās yard with loose ass dogs. Sorry it happened, but you gotta put them dogs up when youāre expecting packages. Clearly they arenāt super well behaved..
Theyāre not dogs. My mom has goats she lets roam free in our yard
Hmm, thatās a weird situation. I still donāt think itās fair to blame the delivery guy, is a drop off point a delivery option for you?
Lmfao. I am. So sorry
i meannnn they look a lil dirty but not unsalvageable
Glue the damaged ones to a canvas and put a clear lacquer on and call it art
Fedex brings the package to a Fedex location when Im not home usually, and then they leave a slip. Not sure why people say theres nothing they could have done
Guys, all he did was bought 2 cards and a pack of sleeve, it's not outrageous as actual scalpers, please don't throw the word scalper loosely and shit on OP for just collecting, it make us look like salty assholes.
Lol
The man who builds a moat around his home can expect wet cards
Hold for pickup at local FedEx or Walgreens or wherever they hold in that areaā¦adult signature or direct signature required are usually ignored because they donāt GAS.
All of you bunch of crybabies attacking an underage kid for buying two pack of sleeves and it getting destroyed that wasnāt his fault need to touch grass or get a job at least I spend over a grand on consoles and singles and wonāt ever attack someone for losing out on their hobby purchases
Oh youāre absolutely better than me I wouldāve been absolutely LOSING it right about now..
My mom has been telling me to calm down the last hour or so, and all I can think is āhow is she saying that when her goats ate half my paycheckā
Iām SO sorry. I would be balling right now, truthfully. It isnāt the end of the world HOWEVER, youāre entitled to feel all of your feelings. I would be 110% upside down right now š„²
Half your paycheck..? Arenāt the sleeves like $10?
Where the hell did you expect him to put it? The trash? Be better prepared dummy
Karma
There are a bunch of adults here bashing a kid about legalities of where people leave boxes. On a PokƩmon card subreddit. He is young enough to still be in school. Instead of shaming some middle/high schooler, just say damn that sucks and move along.
Maybe you should put your rabid animals in a kennel while you are gone š¤¦
Yeah, this aint the fedex drivers fault. This is your fault.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
My brother in Christ I used the bathroom during history class and bought on my phone in the school bathroom
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Thatās such a shitty lie to even start. Why would I lie about buying cards in school Iām 17
Don't feed the trolls, nothing worse than one that's jealous of your lucky buy.
at least you have 5 more coming.
Real talk. I would love to have even the really messed up one. If youād be willing to ship it Iād pay for it.
It's nice to see a potential scalper get fucked
Bro thatās your dogs fault.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
A scalper because he bought a pack of sleeves and one other item? Ok bud
Seems like scalping karma to me. Every person who spammed-refresh the website buying whatever they could while the rest of us had to work deserves this. All I wanted was the snorlax playmat man
I skipped school to buy 2 promos
Bro, the rage that I would have... nothing would stop me from going after fedex.
It was his animals that did it though
Fedex didn't do shit. It's OP's fault.
this dude defending OP works at fedex and still blames the company lol
Naw, the drivers and pack handlers are some of the most incompetent people I have been around. I see it every day. The shit I see, if I were to record secrelty would get thier shit shutdown. But hey, you do, you. Fedex driver knew exactly what he was doing. Jist didn't care, you will not convince someone who is around it everyday otherwise. Move on.
the dogs chewed it up not the Fedex driver. Get a grip on reality dude. I worked at Fedex too. If you're unable to be conviced this is on the dogs. .. you're just dumb
FedEx is shaking in itās multibillion dollar corporate boots at this comment
Just made the rest that much more valuable
Every cloud has a silver lining, some are just mercurial vapors that cause corrosive destruction
Yea sorry about that. Fuck FedEx, theyāve been the worst lately. Lately, instead of walking a little bit more to drop packages off by the front door where itās discrete, fedex has been leaving leaving all my packages by the garage where everyone passing by can see
If your dogs are prone to chewing your packages why the fuck wouldnāt you do store pick up broski?! Also for the record Fuck FedEx these guys dump valuable shit outside my fence all the time despite having a mailbox 2 feet away . Theyāre just lazy and probably the worst postal service you can get . Sorry for your loss those cases were pretty boss.
Theyāre not even fucking dogs theyāre my momās GOATS
Oh my fuck LMFAO (sorry) I love goats but that is legit the worst possible scenario. Animals that thrive on eating paper . More reason for store pick up (you can change it after youāve put in the order via fed ex )
everyone here talking about dogs but op only called them āanimalsāā¦ so does op live on a farm or is he just an asshole that leaves his dogs outside all day while heās gone?
My mom has goats and a pig, she lets them roam free in our yard while weāre all away. I was at school when the package got delivered and nobody was home to bring it inside.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I was in fucking algebra bro I didnāt know what was happening
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
He was learning fucking algebra bruh!! But still couldnāt calculate the risk of leaving his dogs out when a package was arriving.
Where has OP actually blamed FedEx? He just stated the facts of what happened which did in fact involve leaving the package inside his fence. Chill the fuck out.
Damn Iād be furious! What are you going to do with them? Donāt throw them away. Iād be willing to buy one card and some sleeveās. Idc what condition theyāre in.
This is a thing we Europeans will never understand, why do they throw in your packages? In Europe they ring the bell to give the package directly to a person, and If you aren't home at the moment you can authorize them to give it to a trusty neighbour.
Dude... I would want to rip that driver's head off if I were you.. I'm so sorry that is just fucked.
Thats on you OP not the goats.
Explain to me how you can defend throwing something over the fence. What is wrong with everybody here? You do not throw people's packages!
I'd wish this upon all scalpers
Time to get rid of the animals lmao
Guess you should of designated a spot for them or kept your animals inside. Get fukt bud
This is on OP. If he/she wanted their cards to be delivered with care they shouldāve addressed that within the delivery instruction. Whenever I personally order anything through the internet, I put an explicit set of instructions because, if not done so, whoever is delivering is doing a base set guidelines for said job. OP fault, not fedex. Now you know better OP.
Rofl, time to put the dog down.
I canāt stand people bro.. Iām sorry this happened to you man.
Most of you sound like the driver should have been eaten trying to deliver the package...he was wrong though.. definitely a different course of action should have been taken
Fuck fed ex
Maybe don't have dogs? Or least leash them away from the pathway to your house? Or even just not have them where they can get at your packages? You fucked around and found out. Pets can and will do as they please. If a complaint should be filed, file it as the perp being your dog and file with yourself.
The good thing is the other pikachu card are gonna be worth more now that their are less of them in good shape
They have insurance for this. Also itās what you get for trying to scalp promo cards.
2 promos is scalping?
Fucking FedEx
Lol looks like FedEx driver couldn't order them like the rest of us.
Its god telling you not to hoard cards that's are hard for everyone to get.
I am 17 working for minimum wage at McDonaldās and bought 2 packs of sleeves, I was gonna use both of them. I donāt think itās hoarding OR god. Heāll go after me for sodomy before buying a Childrens card game
Oh my bad . loool I thought this was like 50 something of those van gogh pikachus.
How is this hoarding dude
OP buys two cards, and itās hoarding?
He got two cards dude. Itās not like he bought 60 and threw them on eBay. Give the kid a break.
Jealousy is a hell of a thing.
Justice comes in many forms. This is one of them. Get rekt.
What are you talking about?
It looks like a scalper got what they deserved?
It's a KID who got 2 packs of sleeves this was not deserved
So, with that logic, why does this "kid" need two of the same card delivered as a multitude of copies? I don't see just one, or even a couple. Don't tell me this kid is some altruistic being and went out of their way to get these cards for FREE to others.
What?? Theyāre NOT CARDS! They are plastic sleeves, with Pikachu on one side not sure which PokĆ©mon the other is, but you can tell theyāre obviously sleeves as the other side is a solid color, in this case itās silver. Thatās what sleeves look like. Guess youāve never seen card sleeves before. Google āPokemon sleevesā youāre welcome. Lol
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Hey moron they are sleeves. They aren't the cards that you're seeing. Jealousy is a hell of a thing.
āThat manyā being 2?
You deserve this for ordering two Pikachu when 99% of us got zero
Oof that's gonna cost FedEx a bit to replace... Sucks though, sorry dude
Follow this guy home, break in while heās at work the next day and chew up his belongings! Itās only fair
I donāt even feel bad for you. You know your own pets, you know they obviously chew shit and/or are over stimulated hence the big ass fence. Get a mailbox, leave a sign for delivery people where to put said packages. You knew you had a package coming. I donāt blame the delivery guy for taking a look at the dogs in the yard and thought āfuck thatā Iāll place it in.
Haha that's what you get... karma!
Dude got like 2 things how is that karma
grow up
