This past weekend on Christmas Eve and the day before, shoppers were still shopping.  Shippers were still shipping.  Bad deliveries were still being addressed.  UPS was handling one of their own similar driver mess-ups and reported on Christmas Day they have fired the employee caught tossing a package. On December 15th, One of their drivers was caught throwing a Zappos package and added some additional unprofessional behavior, flicking his middle finger to the security camera.  UPS spokeswoman Natalie Godwin stated to NBC News, "We don’t tolerate such conduct."  The delivery driver was a seasonal employee.

This follows the Fedex incident where a driver was caught flinging a samsung monitor over a 6ft fence, which sparked the wrong type of courier publicity during this holiday season.  This was the beginning of national close-up of delivery companies and their driver's day-to-day conduct.  Tremendous media attention caused customers to consider how couriers are handling customer's packages.  Sure, customers want them to be fast, but not that fast.  A fast delivery is no use if it is a damaged one.

It would be saddening for a delivery recipient if their packaged was damaged by the company delivering it, not to mention during Christmas time.  With a little of the holiday season left, there are other couriers customers can depend on for package delivery.  Couriers Services like AQuickDelivery promote safety and no tossing of packages.
