Well, quite a lot, actually. Take a look at this hilarious list of delivery fails to see what we mean. Compiled by Bored Panda, the pictures serve to remind us that sometimes it's easier to collect your parcel yourself than trust it to your delivery man.

Then feel free to share them below, and don't forget to vote for the best! (h/t)

I Hate You, Delivery Guy
Look Up
I Don't Live In A Great A Neighborhood. Thanks, USPS
Trapped
Why didn't they open the door for the delivery guy? Or do they not check if people are home and just always leave package outside? Here they always require signature.
I Think FedEx Used My Package In A Murder Before They Delivered It

And let me guess, they claimed that the person didn't package it correctly....
Got My Mail Today. Well, Shit
Might this be from the Card's against humanity 'B******t' box, when they sent everyone actual b******t?
Might have been a sample sent in for testing to a veterinarian that's the only explanation I can think of
Didn't know you could post order that. What's the website's name ? Deepshit.com ?
There genuinely is a website where you can purchase for your enemies (or prank your friends) different types of animal faeces!

FedEx Keeps "Delivering" Packages By Throwing Them Over The Fence
UPS "Delivered" A Package To My House By Putting It In The Garbage Can At The End Of My Driveway
The Mailman Delivers Things In The Back Of The Mailbox Through A Large Locking Door. I Have A Smaller Door In Front Than The Box. Now What?
Wooo It Fits! Thanks, USPS
When I Called The Service Person Said "I Can See Where The Weight Was Changed From 3 lbs To 0 lbs At The Distribution Center". Why Even Deliver It?
FedEx Shipped Our Parents Christmas Present
Half A Letter
This Way Up, Fragile
Question: How Do I Get Into My Apartment? (Every Box Heavy As Hell. I'm A 5'5" Female)
A good idea is to plan ahead - check the expected size of the products you are about to buy before buying them - that way you can specify to your carrier exactly how and when you will want it delivered. The surprise alternative is as big a frustration to the carrier(delivery man) as it is for you.
The Usps Driver Had A Thing For Elle. Not Once Did I Get A Complete Magazine While Living There
Unfortunately your magazine was most likely always at the top of the strapped stack of magazines. They almost always get damaged...
Interesting how all of the images of a delivery truck in a building feature FedEx, at least at the time of this comment. I wonder if UPS and USPS are similarly destructive or if FedEx is just the worst of the bunch.
I don't know about everywhere else but at my house usps will always ring the bell and place the package carefully. UPS rings the bell at least half the time and always places the package carefully. Fed ex throws them and runs. I figure they must be horrid to work for heh.

I got a box of GIANT box chocolates for party favors and it said 'lindt' on the front. We were all home and the delivery man hid the box behind the garage instead of putting it on the front step. I LIVE IN A NICE NEIGHBORHOOD. CHOCOLATE MELTED. THANKS UPS. a******s.
I'm really surprised how bad the delivery services are. I live in Eastern Europe, the frowned upon area :D but it seems our delivery is far superior. I don't know of any delivery service in the country that delivers items and just leaves them there ( only exception is actual mail that goes in the mail box). Anything else you either go pick it up ( national mail service) or it gets delivered to you in person. Usually you leave a phone number and they always contact you a bit in advance and if you can't get home or something you can change the delivery address. Also if you get delivered items you bought they have to let you look inside the box to check the integrity of the item. Maybe more people should sue so they stop doing this.
This is why I'll just get it myself the time it takes to get there and get it is much less then the fight with them when they break it.. and the people who lost whole houses... are you kidding
That's really f****d up, if you in another country they would not do shyt like that and you will lose your job. I see DHL was not on the list, I'm glad they didn't
that's because DHL doesn't deliver. or at least anything i've had shipped through DHL was delivered by USPS.

I don’t get how people are this dumb. Some of them are funny and creative though.
Even in Japan, overseas delivery sucks because it goes into customs torn all to hell and they offer to rebox it for you. XD
Life became easier for me once I learned that you can't teach common sense.
