wrong, the box actually succeeds forward at the 43min 37sec mark...try it....trust me....patience pays.

[–]Fucked_up_Haiku 25 points26 points ago

A box rolls backward

It almost stops and goes up!

Fragile! This side up

[–]iammolotov 3 points4 points ago

I don't know if I would quite call it "fucked up" but it did give me a chuckle and thus I gave you a vote.

[–]a_unique_username 7 points8 points ago

I watched the video and it lasted so long I thought it was looped. A really strange phenomenon.

[–]down_vote_magnet 2 points3 points ago

I was smart. Remembering the gif from last time, I only watched it for one minute this time. Jokes on you, OP.

[–]shiffts 2 points3 points ago

[–]Straw___Man 2 points3 points ago

Ex UPS line worker here. This kind of thing is exceedingly common and depending on the weight of the package can be very dangerous. The guy next to me got nailed in the back of the neck by one of these after it gained some momentum and was away on paid leave for two weeks.

[–]Spoon_Badger 94 points95 points ago

You just KNOW one of the stickers on that reads: FRAGILE HANDLE WITH CARE

[–]luke95836 25 points26 points ago

Things like this only happen to the packages that are FULL of extremely delicate glass things.

[–]Spoon_Badger 15 points16 points ago

This is true... while anvils and cannon balls are regularly processed by the postal system with out so much as a bump or scratch!

[–]N_Dimensions 14 points15 points ago

My dad sometimes orders boxes of bullets that are just under the weight limit for flat-rate shipping. The boxes always arrive beaten up and mangled, like the postal workers treated them like shit.

[–]kyleyankan 7 points8 points ago

Isn't... mail order ammunition.... illegal?

[–]fnmeng 22 points23 points ago

You're thinking brides.

[–]allaboardthebandwago 5 points6 points ago

Usps? No idea. Ups? Slap an orem-d sticker on and good to go.

[–]SpaceUnicorn 5 points6 points ago

My dad does this, too. I would assume not. They arrive in the mail, and they're scuffed up, and heavy as shit.

[–]ztherion 2 points3 points ago

Nope, there are just some restrictions.

[–]khisk 0 points1 point ago

Has nothing to do with how employees handle then and everything to do with the fact Ups and FedEx both use automatic sorting with conveyor systems that at least in the case of FedEx move up to 40mph. The reality of it is if people want a package tp get from the east to west cost in 3-4 days some eggs are going to get broken.

[–]Smad3 5 points6 points ago

Close. It actually says "this side up"

[–]Spoon_Badger 11 points12 points ago

At least that instruction is being followed 25% of the time here.

[–]Aww_Shucks 8 points9 points ago

Another sticker: JUST LET THE BOX FUCKING DANCE, DAMMIT

[–]TheReprisalizer 6 points7 points ago

I genuinely advise people not to put stickers like this on parcels, it just makes Postal Staff throw them harder around the sorting office. From personal experience working in one anyway.

[–]ajmint 1 point2 points ago

[–]ellizit 27 points28 points ago

yes sir, and I watched every second of it.

[–]Bitter_Idealist 4 points5 points ago

And I could have watched it forever.

[–]iamadogforreal 18 points19 points ago

I'm sure there's something medical related in there or some delicate piece of technology and the box has a fragile sticker on the other side.

"Hello, customer support, it looks like someone rolled my package down an impossibly long hill."

[–]FireTime 27 points28 points ago

Hello my name is Sisyphus and i'll be handling your support claim today.

[–]iamadogforreal 4 points5 points ago

Alright you got a real life laugh out of me.

[–]veterejf 4 points5 points ago

And we don't even see it going up at the end. My guess is it would have stayed like that for a very long time w/o any other contact. Looked like legit equilibrium.

[–]quadrapod 1 point2 points ago

Before now I've only ever seen that on a track of inverse catenaries.

Your shipment of soda is almost here.

[–]SageofWater 36 points37 points ago

As someone who used to work at UPS, I can confirm that this happens a lot

[–]NextDayAir 55 points56 points ago

as someone who currently works at UPS, I can confirm that it must be the end of the shift because I have never seen a belt run for 3 minutes with only one package on it...

as for the contents being damaged, if anything in there could be damaged from this simple tumbling, it was severely improperly packed... if this was the worst beating this box took, it would be one of the best handled packages in the system...

it's also not a shipment from amazon... amazon has their logo printed on the side of all their boxes...

[–]UPSguy 13 points14 points ago

[–]WhatWouldJesusSay 5 points6 points ago

You get promoted to supervisor.

[–]harvest_poon 3 points4 points ago

Both of your usernames are highly relevant. Love it

[–]YetiLucha 4 points5 points ago

It could be on a recycle belt that no one is using.

[–]PBI325 1 point2 points ago

haha I love when this happens, it always the smaller boxes where I work! Sometimes they sit there flipping for a few minutes until I put something behind it

Edit: your username is awesome

[–]SageofWater 6 points7 points ago

Happens in small sort constantly

[–]UPSguy 5 points6 points ago

I see it on return/recycle belts.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

I did a stint with UPS back in 1991. To this day no other job has made me sweat more (load/unload at Trabue Rd. hub in Columbus), even in the winter when you're slipping on ice in the belly of the trailer.

Pouring sweat out of your boots at the end of a shift is an odd experience.

[–]sitruss 2 points3 points ago

As a former UPSer myself, no other job made me sadder when I blew my nose after my shift.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

HA! I completely forgot about that. There should be a bonus for purifying their air with your respiratory system.

[–]AndyPod19 2 points3 points ago

It looks to me like it's improperly packed to begin with, and that is why it's tumbling : something smaller than the box, and no packing material to keep it from sliding around

[–]sc21 0 points1 point ago

Most of the time I wish I could see a belt run for 3 minutes without another package.

[–]Nimbleh 0 points1 point ago

Some Amazon boxes do look like that though, which is why I instinctively thought it was Amazon after sorting parcels for 6 weeks at Royal Mail, and packing them at Amazon for 1 week. The spacing/size of the words on the size, and positions of labels match it, at least in my eyes, but at the low quality its impossible to be certain.

Only problem is if its an Amazon box, is that you aren't allowed electronics inside their "Fufillment Centre", and they have metal scanners to prohibit this, so I am not sure how this video would have been taken.

[–]EukaryoteZ 0 points1 point ago

There's actually a huge jam, this is the calm before the storm.

[–]meanrone 4 points5 points ago

As an employee at FedEx i can also confirm this happens and its even funnier to watch in person.

[–]kdun 4 points5 points ago

Also work at UPS, confirmed. It's quite funny in person

[–]Coney_Island_Hentai 0 points1 point ago

As someone who worked in JFK, I can conform your luggage does this a lot.

[–]callisto_tech 22 points23 points ago

that's what you get for ordering a box of slinkys.

(slinkies? slinkees? slinki? what is the plural...)

[–]willscy 11 points12 points ago

Google says the plural is slinkies.

[–]9bowlsofsoup 7 points8 points ago

If I was working for a delivery company, I'd send this gif to everyone asking about their late packages.

[–]Zosoer 8 points9 points ago

You wouldn't be working there for too long.

[–]Assaultman67 1 point2 points ago

I'd give them a tracking number that links to a gif on a web page and says

"Meanwhile, somewhere in _____"

[–]eyesofsaturn 6 points7 points ago

There's a bunch of toys in there trying to escape being delivered to a terrible, fat old man.

[–]WhatWouldJesusSay 1 point2 points ago

Poor little ponies.

[–]my_internet_points 14 points15 points ago

So that's why I never got my shipment of springs, bouncy balls, and dildos.

[–]Assaultman67 3 points4 points ago

Oh I see you're also a customer from Crazy Al's Springs, Bouncy balls, and Dildos emporium!

Apparently they're having a sale this weekend. Buy two dildos and a bouncy ball and you receive a free leaf spring!

[–]Switzerland43 4 points5 points ago

Delivery, nahh... DANCE PARTY!!

[–]YetiLucha 4 points5 points ago

As an employee at a major shipping company, I can tell you that I see this kind of thing all the time.

[–]rasteri 4 points5 points ago

That's what happens when your last name's Sisyphus.

[–]taters343 2 points3 points ago

This lined up perfectly with the song I'm listening to. It gave me hope that today won't be terrible.

[–]magicbullets 2 points3 points ago

[–]tagrav 2 points3 points ago

UPS guy shows up at my house every day as basically his last stop. nearly 8pm.

makes me mad because i want the goods faster. sucks that he works hours so long. he's out driving that truck before i wake up and still driving it 4 hours after i get home from work.

Thank god i work in IT

[–]Its_Phobos 4 points5 points ago

Invite him in for a beer, or give him a can of soda or something. When the holidays roll around make that fucker some fudge or some cookies and some shit like that. Whatever it takes, make him remember you in a positive light and your packages might find their way to you earlier in the route, and if not, they'll at least get that extra little bit of caution while under his care.

[–]clhines4 10 points11 points ago

It must have been a box full of slinkies.

[–]IdolRevolver 14 points15 points ago

That is an obscenely high-res image of a slinky.

[–]clhines4 2 points3 points ago

Are slinkies deserving of any less?

[–]Gladauk 1 point2 points ago

[–]SeriousJack 3 points4 points ago

[–]speedbrown 1 point2 points ago

I would have been so lost if you hadn't shown me what this "slinkies" looked like, thank you.

[–]SIMONMOSES 1 point2 points ago

Couldnt you have bought a slinky in a shop rather then ordering it

[–]YetiLucha 1 point2 points ago

Oh, the shit people order instead of just buying from a store.

[–]Cat_on_plaid 1 point2 points ago

When worked at ups this would happen with boxes from california. we always wondered what as in them. one day one of them broke open and inside was a bottle of wine without any wrapping.

[–]Assaultman67 3 points4 points ago

yea i figured it was something cylindrical that rolls in the box.

The fact that the center of mass would be low on the box would allow it to tip VERY easily.

[–]codered434 1 point2 points ago

all I could think while watching it was "Haters gonna hate!"

[–]NULLACCOUNT 1 point2 points ago

"They see me rollin', they hatin'"

[–]crocoperson 1 point2 points ago

Seriously. My package in on the FedEx tracker and hasn't been updated since the 28th. Saying 'Clearance Delay' in anchorage Alaska. I really think its doing this.

[–]DeadPiratemonkey 1 point2 points ago

This made me laugh harder than it should..

[–]alle0441 1 point2 points ago

One of my coworkers collects M&M dispensers. Recently, he won an eBay auction of 3 or 4 dispensers together. When they arrived via FedEx, they were in shambles. Literally dozens of broken pieces.

So I emailed this GIF to everyone in our department explaining this is what happened to his package.

[–]i_4got 1 point2 points ago

Is FedEx legally responsible for the damages?

[–]alle0441 1 point2 points ago

Uhh... I dont remember the exact outcome. I think eBay actually stood up to the plate and took a hit. I think they reimbursed him for most of the purchase. It was like... $15-20. So why make a huge deal about it.

[–]MrFatalistic 1 point2 points ago

contents of box: a dozen slinkys

I see this happen a lot at ups, and usually we just let it be like that, because another package will come and stop it from doing that

[–]tacojohn48 0 points1 point ago

I'm thinking there needs to be a sensor at the bottom of the lift and another at the top so they can sense when something gets stuck, then just turn the belt off and back on. This same system could be used to turn the belt off when there are no packages and conserve electricity.

[–]dingoperson 0 points1 point ago
