I can't imagine going through this. It's bad enough that they seem to be ok with treating your packages that way, but throwing items heavy enough to cause damage?

I can't wrap my mind around a delivery person tossing a package into the yard like that.
I don't know what I'd do if this happened to me. It certainly wouldn't be good.

Yeah I've never had any of my deliveries thrown, so sad...I can't imagine going through something like that.

Yeah, I'm sorry. I wasn't sure how to censor the thread title for people who that would upset without making it look like clickbait. I feel the same about senseless violence regarding children, I just put the thread on ignore, I can't do it.
Oh they know who did this exactly and when they "yeeted" the package right over their fence which is pretty fucking dumb to do as a delivery driver.

Sadly, she had to be put down due to damage to her lungs and liver.
Wow, bad luck that it hit the dog :( 4 lbs is super tiny doggo, poor thing. The package may not have even been that big.
Had a UPS driver chuck a package into my yard while I was at home. Opened the door and he sheepishly said he didn't think anyone was there. Did he knock? No. Just assumed. The packaged was a laptop that turned out to not work! I wonder why? Maybe because it had been chucked over a fence.
My sympathies for this family and their loss.

With the increase of home security cameras you'd think package delivery companies would have policies to hopefully avoid footage like this getting onto the internet.
Especially after this footage became a thing years ago, you'd think FedEx would institute policies to discourage this behavior. But nope, it doesn't seem they put any new policies in place and now a dog is dead.

Wow yeah I had edited but thought I misread the OP article, wow that is awful
FedEx doesn't have a rule enforcing against it because it keeps drivers delivering packages quickly.
Faster delivery = more packages for each driver to deliver = more pressure on drivers to deliver ASAP = less drivers to pay for to deliver the same amount of packages
I'm sure some actuary actually calculated the $ on this

Must have been something heavy in that package.
Ouch
There are a number of things really heavy you could drop over a fence without damaging them. A box of 8.5 x 11 paper for example. Would probably survive the fall, and they're really heavy.

These companies don't care about their drivers and just want to make profit. Hell the major US shipping company I used to work for doesn't even have fans/ac for drivers which is amazing for those days when it gets to 110F.With the increase of home security cameras you'd think package delivery companies would have policies to hopefully avoid footage like this getting onto the internet.

Have you not seen how lazy some of these people are
I guess not. Wow. I'm glad I've not encountered this.
Of course they can. It was their employee who did it in the course of conducting work for them. Why wasn't the employee trained effectively enough to avoid this?
All the training in the world isn't gonna help with an employee that simply doesn't care.
