50 Times Disappointment With Deliveries Couldn’t Be Described With Words
Interview With Expert
The minute most of us hit that Buy Now button, the excitement kicks in. Whether it’s a handy new toolset, a cozy sweater, or a quirky graphic tee, waiting for that package to arrive can feel like the longest part of the whole process. But while online shopping is ridiculously easy these days, the delivery part? Not always so smooth.
Sometimes your order takes forever to show up. Sometimes the delivery driver launches it over your fence like it’s a frisbee championship. And sometimes, believe it or not, your package might get lost in the ocean or show up looking like someone took a few bites out of it first.
Today, we’ve rounded up some truly questionable delivery moments for you, Pandas. From the downright baffling to the hilariously disappointing, these stories might just make you wonder if it’s safer to pick up your stuff in-store next time!

The Way My Local UPS Simply Refuses To Knock On A Door
I was waiting for this package listening for the door when I got the notice UPS had "attempted" to deliver my package. I swear the driver must have sprinted away from my door. It was a tiny package too, so no real amount of effort was saved by doing this instead of just taking 10 seconds to deliver my package. This is the 3rd time the local UPS has pretended to try to deliver something that required a signature.
David 6 months ago
Oh I had this with UPS, saw on the security cam after (I was at home) they said online they tried to deliver. The driver pulled up, waited 20 seconds and drove off, not even getting out. What is more, is they told me I couldnt choose my reschedule time bc I needed the notice number on the slip the guy never did. I told them if it wasnt delivered next day I would report it stolen by the drive with the footage. They delivered next day, left it on my porch, even though it required a signature, never rang or knocked, just left it there. I hate UPS

I am not in favor of people losing their jobs, but this person needs to have his boss see how poorly he is doing his well-paid job. If he gets fired I am sure there are many unemployed people who would be happy with a paycheck and more than willing to wait for you to answer the door

Only happened once, but the UPS driver marked "customer refused delivery", so my package got sent back. At least with this you can pick it up, or get another chance at delivery.

My local Fedex driver does this as well. When something I ordered is a little heavy and/or needs a signature I get the "undeliverable will try tomorrow". No notes on my front door or anything. I have three separate cameras at the front of my house. I saw him drive up to my house and parked in his Fedex van. After 3 minutes of nothing happening he just drove off. Never even got out of the van. The picture they are supposed to take to prove they tried to deliver was a fuzzy picture of my package in the back of his truck. lol worthless.
It’s wild to think just how much stuff we humans keep shipping around the world every single day. In 2023 alone, a jaw-dropping 356 billion packages made their way from warehouses to doorsteps. That’s like every single person on Earth getting about 44 packages each in a year! And get this: by 2028, that number is expected to skyrocket to nearly 500 billion parcels zooming across the globe. So yeah, the delivery guy isn’t resting anytime soon.
And it’s not just boxes bouncing around, it’s big bucks, too. Global shipping is booming, pulling in an eye-watering $1.02 trillion in revenue in 2022 alone. And experts say that’s just the beginning: by 2028, it’s predicted that this mega-industry will rake in about $1.5 trillion.

But with billions of boxes flying around, let’s be honest, things are bound to go hilariously sideways sometimes. Packages vanish into thin air, boxes arrive looking like they survived a tornado, or they end up on someone else’s porch entirely. To find out what really happens behind the scenes, we spoke to Ashok Chahun, a seasoned delivery partner from India with over eight years in the game and plenty of stories to tell.
“People think it’s always our fault when something is late,” Ashok says. “But come on, your new phone is coming all the way from Europe! It’s stuck in customs, then stuck in a warehouse, then I finally get it days later. By the time it’s my turn to deliver, everyone’s already mad at me. All I do is pick it up at the pack station and drop it at your door. I don’t control ships or planes!”

My sister does grocery pick up at Walmart. She orders M&Ms in a particular size. Dry are always out and something else gets substituted, not always a different size M&Ms. But when she goes into the store, sweet do usher the size she orders, every time.
Traffic jams and crazy weather are the daily enemies of every delivery hero. “I don’t know how people expect us to magically appear at their doorstep during a thunderstorm,” Ashok laughs. “In big cities, we battle traffic jams that can turn a 5-minute trip into an hour-long crawl. And yet people call every five minutes: ‘Where are you? Why so late?’ Well, I’m stuck behind 200 cars and a cow crossing the street, give me a minute!”

I sent my sister a stockpot and claimed other home goods for Christmas (she just got an apartment and has nothing for her kitchen).
She came home to find her package looked like it had been run over.

Failed Delivery Attempt Because My Mailbox Was Full... Hopefully They Have Better Luck Tomorrow Fitting The Queen Sized Bed Frame Into My Mailbox
Holly Herr 5 months ago
I’ve had this happen with the post office.🙄No note. Called and the PM had determined it to be “undeliverable”.
And then there are the ‘I paid extra!’ folks. “People love to yell, ‘I paid for express delivery!’ But what can we do if the vendor hands it over late?” Ashok says. “They expect miracles. Some people even threaten or scream at us like we’re sitting on their package for fun. Newsflash: if it’s late leaving the warehouse, we can’t teleport it to you!”
So how do drivers handle all the yelling and blaming? Training! “We actually get trained for this stuff,” Ashok shares. “How to stay calm, how to handle angry customers, when to explain and when to just nod and say sorry. Most of the time, people just want to vent and we’re the only ones they see in person, so we take the heat.”

It should be a Literal crime. You paid for it, it's yours. That's willful destruction of property. Sorry, I'm so tired of garbage delivery drivers who can't get it right. Or read delivery instructions telling them where your house is! I'm looking at you doordash.

But when things really blow up? “If a situation gets out of hand, like if someone gets aggressive, we call our supervisors right away,” Ashok says. “They can talk to the customer, fix things, or sometimes just reschedule the delivery altogether. No package is worth a fistfight!”
Of course, Ashok admits not every delivery fail is the customer’s imagination. “Sometimes drivers mess up,” he shrugs. “Like, if your house is on the way home, a few people sneak in a quick pit stop to drop off their own groceries or pick up lunch. It’s not professional and it slows everyone else’s deliveries down.”

At the end of the day, most delivery drivers are out there rain or shine, holiday or not, just trying to get your package to you. “All we ask is a little sympathy, not every driver is perfect, but most of us really try our best,” Ashok smiles. “So next time your box shows up in one piece, maybe thank your delivery person and forgive us for the times we ring the doorbell a little too loud!”

Legal requirements. Some package types MUST be signed for. This compounds with postal employees working a route schedule. You get off when your route is done, hence skipping interaction means they get off earlier. It adds up if you have a lot of places you have to wait for them to answer the door.

Possibly, but I'm skeptical. When ordering things like this online, the card's message is frequently entered on an entirely different screen from the delivery instructions, which are generally a field found near the shipping address fields. An order summary like the supplier would have, on the other hand, would likely be condensed to a single page containing both the shipping instructions on the same page of the summary.

Amazon Mailed Me An Open Bottle Of Conditioner
Warehouse worker removed not only the plastic cap, but also the foil safety seal on the conditioner and packed it in a box with TEN other items including an electronic device. The damages were $200+ and it took THREE separate calls to Amazon to get a full refund. (They blamed USPS even though the box exterior was undamaged and the seals were clearly removed prior to shipping as they weren’t anywhere inside of the box).

I now take a photo of the package before I open it, and another just after I open it...just in case.

Ordered A Microwave, Got A Gaming Chair, Customer Service Say They'll "Consider Fixing The Problem" But Might Not
After weeks of calling customer service to actually get what I've already paid for, I finally got a knock on my door. Delivery!!! Finally!!! New microwave!!! Weeeeee. Not. I signed, got the parcel inside, and discovered the microwave was now a gaming chair, a low quality one too. So I called customer service. After keeping me on hold for an eternity, they said they'll let me know in a week (or two) if they'll pick it back up and deliver the item I actually bought...

These chairs seem to go for about 400 USD. Sell it for that secondhand and get multiple microwaves.

The Flower Delivery Company Called My Wife About The Flowers That Were Supposed To Be A Surprise
For my wife’s birthday, I ordered a (very expensive) set of flowers to have delivered to our home. I provided my contact number as the primary, and hers as the secondary. I have class in the mornings and work afternoon/evening so they were only supposed to call her if I was unavailable, which I made extremely clear in the notes. I also called them this morning to confirm I would be available and to ABSOLUTELY NOT call the secondary contact number. They called me and left this message while I was on the phone with my wife, who had called me because she was confused by their call.

Got A Grocery Pickup And They Put Each Item In An Individual Bag. The Last Picture Is A Single Onion. This Seems Like A Waste Of Plastic
JL 6 months ago
Well, those Walmart bags are practically useless. Anything more than a single onion in there would tear it to shreds.

You've never seen a Dollar General bag have you, they tear before you can use them.

Well, at least you have small trash bags. I'd double them up, though; Walmart bags are exactly one molecule thick.

Exactly what I do, double them up and use them for cat litter.

Amazon Delivery Man Entered My Home And Put My Package On My Ottoman. My Front Door Was 1/3 Open For Air Because My AC Just Broke. He Didn’t Announce Himself Or Knock. He Just Walked In
I understand Amazon drivers work so so hard and have to meet their deadlines. I feel guilty for complaining because I appreciate them immensely, they’re always friendly and don’t want anyone losing their job— but this is not okay. I live in a very very secure apartment building. My AC broke and it’s crazy hot where I live, so I felt safe enough to have my front door 1/3 open for air. I work from home, so I was in my kitchen working. My kitchen is very close to my living room so there is no way I wouldn’t have heard a knock.
I walked into my living room and saw my package on my ottoman! I was so confused for second and then I realized someone would have had to walked into my home to put it there. For a moment I completely panicked and felt unsafe- like is someone in my home right now? Did someone look around? I have a camera at my front door, and thankfully it appears the delivery man took about two steps inside and put it on my couch and left, but still. There’s no way he could have just reached his arms to put it on my ottoman. I mimicked the delivery and he would have had to step inside. My order status says it was delivered to my “front door or porch.”
Entering someone’s home is trespassing, it’s illegal, and although I don’t think the delivery person meant anything bad by it- you can’t just enter someone’s home! I honestly felt frightened for a moment. If it wasn’t for my cameras, I’d still feel frightened. He had delivered it 1.5 hours after I discovered it. I know I’m stupid for leaving my door open, but that’s still no excuse. He so easily could have just left it on my doormat like Amazon always does.

Amazon Delivery Picture Of My Package On My Neighbors Porch. Asked My Neighbor If They Happened To Accidentally Get My Package. "Nope Didn't See It"

A couple of years ago, we were in a marina and I ordered several thousand dollars worth of solar panels, controllers, and batteries. "Yodel", the bottom-feeders of the delivery biz in UK, delivered it, and left a picture of the lobby of some random building. The map showed them driving around, so I thought it was in the area. We ended up walking to a dozen different apartment complexes and businesses looking through the glass doors until we saw carpet that matched the picture. Got the stuff, but... a******s.

SO many of these simply confirm the correctness of my decision to never, ever use delivery services like UberEats, DoorDash, or GrubHub. I'll either order food from places that employ their own drivers (still no guarantee, but easier to register a complaint), or go pick it up myself.
QuincyForrest 6 months ago
You may find this odd, but I have a near 100% success rate with the items I've ordered online, timely delivery and in good condition, and I order things several times per month. Services include Amazon, USPS, UPS, and FedEx. I live one flight of stairs up from ground level and my packages are always left at my front door. I live in a small northern California mountain town so maybe our delivery people aren't stressed like in some big city somewhere, but these delivery horror stories in this post just astound me; can't hardly believe they actually happen but I know they do.

Delta lost my luggage. After a week, they told me it was being delivered. A few days later, a rancher 20 miles from my house called, and told me he had found it in a ditch on the side of the road. When I called Delta to file a complaint, the lady shouted at me "What are you complaining about, you got your luggage, didn't you?!" I've never flown Delta again.

DHL is like this. Those idiots find the most creative way to either destroy, delay, lose or steal your packages. Not to mention threating you at your door when you sent an "anonymous" complaint about them. Last time we had a complaint, the driver most likely got told who said it and we had to call the cops because the deliveryguy wanted "our side of the story" very bad.

I think the experimentation with mass delivery needs to end. I know sometimes it is necessary. When it comes to any food or drink delivery I have to ask. Are you folks F...ing crazy? Why would you have a stranger handle your food? Get out of your home/business and get it yourself! Based on these posts these delivery people need to be put on the unemployment line.

All these were good examples why we should personally go to the shop instead of relying on delivery. Thank goodness Australia Post is quite reliable.
