I think we need a "driver's view" in order to justify this driver's behavior. That being said, I, personally, wouldn't throw a pkg to a door no matter what was inside. I think it's unprofessional and lazy to do so. How much time is that going to save you anyways? I say, if you wouldn't do it on an OJS, don't do it alone.
I estimate that first driver saved about 7 seconds.
If every driver did that once per day then I estimate UPS could save about 275,000$ per year.
Victoria Secret ? No way, I always try to make contact with the customer. If the order from VS i wanna see what they look like. lolI thought it was industry standard to throw QVC or Victoria Secrets bags to the door from 10 feet.

Still want to see?
One time when I was on vacation,the cover driver left packages in 3 mailboxes. The postal carrier took them to the post office, where they were held for ransom until UPS paid postage on them. I don't know who the driver got chewed out more by,management or the driver who had to go to the post office and get the packages back. The post office is in town on another route. This happened in a rural area Needless to say,this driver no longer leaves packages in mailboxes. Some postal carriers are cool and some,like this one, are real ***holes.Mail box is a big no-no here in the Lower 48.![]()

I'm sure this one does. Some postal workers fit the description of being POSTAL. One time 20 years ago,when I was a new driver, I was running a rural route without addresses,just box numbers. I looked inside a mailbox to see if I was at the right house. The customer,who was a postal carrier,came out and said "Do you know you just committed a federal offense and you could go to prison for a long time". I laughed,thinking he was joking but he wasn't. He was extremely irate with me. This guy was POSTAL. Another time a supervisor was with me on another rural route and he suggested we go in the post office and ask for a map. The guy behind the counter went POSTAL and said "We don't give out maps. Get the hell out of here or I'll call the sheriff and have you physically thrown out" STRANGE PEOPLE.Does you post office take Newspapers and flyers back to the postoffice too .

I haven't asked for a map at the post office but I have asked for the location of streets both at post offices and fire depts. Fire dept are great because they generally keep a wall map with every street there is. I have never had anyone go postal, not even the Fedex driver when I ask them.I'm sure this one does.
