Thanks to the internet, buying stuff has never been simpler. A swerve of the mouse, a couple of clicks and voila, you've bought something. And getting your hands on your latest purchase is even easier. All you do is sit at home and wait for it your order delivery arriving straight to your doorstep. What could possibly go wrong?

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. From lousy hiding places to plain damaged goods, sometimes the amenity of Internet shopping comes together with the worst services ever. Do you have any funny fails of this sort? Then feel free to share them below, and don't forget to vote for the best! (h/t)

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.

The icing on the cake with this photo was the customer's name, anybody else smile at that? (Currier... Courier) No? Just me? I'll get my coat then.

We don't actually know if he knocked or not. As a USPS worker, I've seen my colleagues not even knock, and I have also seen where we'd practically knock the door down, get no response, then get an irate complaint how we didn't try. People lie, both customers and delivery workers.

Postal carriers are required to knock then ring the doorbell. I don't think FEDEX OR UPS are.. unless there is something you have to sign for.

I've encountered this before..knocked until my knuckles bled, then left a notice...later received a message wondering why I didn't knock....they must have been really deaf..

Get a doorbell. He obviously knocked loudly but you didn't hear it. Do you really think he wants to deliver your package multiple times? :/

Yea, it’s always the drivers fault. Why carry a package all the way to the door, not knock, fill out a tag and leave just to have to come back the next day. My guess, the idiot left thinking the driver would be coming later or their sitting 5 feet from the door with ear pods in and couldn’t hear if the driver kicked the door in, Jesus Christ, people are stupid! Blame the driver!

Nope, they will not let you know they are at the door unless they really really need a signature.

Never know on this one. I've knocked and knocked and knocked, got no answer, then had the customer call and complain. Once, I got done with a customer, she closed the door, 10 seconds later I realized I needed her help again, and knocked.... and knocked.... and knocked.... and knocked, louder each time. Ridiculous.

*pfft* Please, you expect UPS to actually attempt a DELIVERY??? Like with knocking and everything?? It's much more fun for them to stick a piece of paper on a door and madly dash back to their truck before anyone happens to notice them.

Maybe the UPS worker was a woman? Wouldn't you feel relieved from following the instruction, ladies, after reading the first line? ;)

Cut the side off of the box, remove contents, tear box out. Easy, peasy, lemon squeezy.

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.

Unfortunately your magazine was most likely always at the top of the strapped stack of magazines. They almost always get damaged...
