Sounds like I don’t want to know what happens! These delivery companies sound horrific

Go out for the long bomb! Oh, it's drop kick!!! Ahhhhnnnnd...it's a home run, knocked clear out of the park!

The thing is that almost everyone who ships stuff knows that this is true, and plans for it. The phone should be absolutely fine.
 
How about..

Dear GF,

I had a vision of just how beautiful you are and I ended up dropping your iPhone. I hope you can forgive me but I just melt every time I think of you.

Love,
ThatiPhoneKid

There that should buy you a few brownie points. :)
 
hey guys

This is not a troll thread I know it seems likely as I recently made a thread about my iPad however for Christmas I bought my girlfriend an iPhone 8 in the new gold colour and today it arrived from dpd anyway as the delivery driver gave me the package I dropped it and I opened the brown box it was in and the retail box looked fine, do you think the phone could be scuffed? I’m not to fussed as it’s my gfs iPhone and I won’t tell her I dropped it

Got my new iphone X tuesday. It was well packaged so I doubt you harmed this phone

Lol she won’t know unless when she opens it it’s broke lol

I'm sure it's fine. But you'd be surprised at how much abuse most packages encounter on their way here from China... I seen some items literally get dropped kicked before heading into the delivery vehicle!!

The phone should be fine. The phone is packaged well.

My son has Ring Doorbell, he caught the delivery guy throwing his package, where it hit the door and bounced to the ground. Was funny to watch, thankfully nothing broke.
Caught my UPS guy throwing a package at my door the other day, just so happened to be walking by my front door and notice someone walking up to our steps and then I hear something slam the door and he’s booking it back to his truck, I might have opened the door and yelled a little.:D

I would have if I caught someone doing that with my parcel, absolute disgrace
 
LOL! Amazon says it delivered my box to my office at 6:45pm. My office is surrounded by a 6 foot tall fence with barbed wire at the top. No way they could have delivered it at that time of the day. If they tossed it over the fence it is stolen, too many people walking the streets in this area, that is why I had to fence.
 
Pretty sure it should be fine. I've had phones delivered to me with the brown box dented and the actual phone and phone box were both fine.

LOL that's the thing, they throw the package and book it out of there. Lucky for him it wasn't broke since Ring Doorbell video records everything. My son showed me the video. With these doorbells becoming ever more popular I'm sure it will catch up with someone sooner or later.

Been looking into getting one of those and after the other day I just might pull the trigger.

Witnessed this with FedEx guy and I immediately called FedEx. Their big truck drivers are awful also.
