 Our FedEx workers stealing PlayStation 5 consoles This is This is very interesting So I found this thread on reset era saying is FedEx stealing new consoles or gamers overreacting They're doing a little poll for some people say it's they are stealing it Some people say need to be patient but let's look at the actual reports because PlayStation 5 is obviously a hot-ticket item that many of us are gonna have a hard time getting myself included until Summer of next year. Well, let's actually look at what's happening or what's being claimed to have happened So here is a post on reddit saying FedEx workers are stealing PlayStation 5 consoles Just a warning for all of you who may be looking to order a new gen console Be aware there are dozens and dozens of incidents being reported all around the internet of PlayStation 5's going missing or lost PlayStation 5 is being shipped from Specifically FedEx it is outrageous and it seems like nothing is being done about it or even investigated by FedEx I'm unfortunately one of those people I ordered a PlayStation 5 from Sony Direct and they use FedEx My package was supposed to arrive and it was out for delivery from morning till evening where it changed to pending That would be the last time I'd seen any activity of my package FedEx customer service is like speaking to a wall They don't care and they won't do anything about it in theory You can get a replacement if you contact the retailer in my case Sony But screw that if you can get a refund hold on to your hard-earned money and wait until retail has some in stock for proof Literally just type in FedEx stole PS5 on Google or Twitter search bar and look at the recent complaints It is the most disgusting thing I've ever seen from FedEx makes it all worse The drivers or workers to get away with it without zero care or concern is being shown from FedEx themselves You know Xbox consoles are also reportedly being stolen at a high rate by FedEx workers FYI One of the clips on the web shows someone receiving a resealed empty box Just unreal these incidents have been way too consistent for them to be a coincidence Update after sitting pending for a while my package was falsely delivered on a day in time that I sat outside waiting for it Opened up a case from both FedEx and Sony and once I got the driver's name I will be filing a police report and hopefully put an end to this I'm also trying to get video surveillance from any stores around me for even more evidence More similar incidents regarding FedEx and stolen missing falsely delivered PS5 are being reported from Twitter users by the minute Still for some reason they are delusional people that think this isn't a huge red flag And this is not an internal theft problem. That's occurring blows my mind really all that I want to do is help people before this happens So feel free to share this around. All right So what did they say to Google specifically? They said to Google Let's see here FedEx stole PS5. So we're gonna do that right now. We're gonna Google. Let's open up a new search here All right Google. Let's type in FedEx stole PS5. See what happens So his post is number one. We have slick deals Talking about it being happening. We have First responder frustrated. You can't get the PlayStation 5. He ordered FedEx stole my PlayStation 5 and Sony sucks YouTube video there customer accuses FedEx How to prevent stolen packages but ironically from FedEx there the recent era thread game facts read Twitter Let's let's actually go on Twitter here and see if there's anything in particular on Twitter We can find about this All right Let's see here cool FedEx grounds driver stole my PS5 The guy dancing there Actually stole my PS5 let's face it. This is unprecedented year. This is back in October. So that's not really related Yeah, I guess there's a lot of people talking about it I guess it's kind of an issue that's coming up. Let's let's go to more Reddit reports on this day five of PS5 being delivered But still waiting on is this the same person? Let's see here. No, this is a completely different person I'm on day five waiting for my PlayStation 5 that said it was delivered Saturday, but I'm still waiting on it What would cause a package to be marked as delivered to someone but they haven't received it Would this be a system error or an error on the package handler's fault? Just turn on the more and keep hope alive that I'll eventually get my original console after reading through these threads I don't want to believe that a driver stole it. That just seems very unlikely And this person says same boat was delivered Sunday. I mean I've got a few comments here Have you called customer service I just threw in the towel and called target for a refund Mine was delivered on Sunday and I was doing more investigative work than the track team trace team That was maybe assigned to my complaint I highly doubt the driver stole the package and the employees here tell you that it may be a system error Or your package was meant to be delivered But was never on the truck and could be going through the shipping process again at distro I talked to a very honest person at my distro center and she said they have been fielding a lot of calls about missing PlayStation 5's in The area she's not sure what is going on. I appreciate her candor at this point. I'm chopping it up as a loss Looking at the comments on this thread I have zero reason to stand up for this crap company But 99% of consoles arrived just fine even lots of people who were complaining a few days ago have now received their console Yeah, it's possible they could get stolen but unlikely if you will really believe it was stolen contact Sony They have the serial number and get disabled the console This is what I'm waiting until I grab one at the store 1% loss of a 500 $500 is happening. Then it's time to retire Yeah, not because what happened my Walmart order and my brother's order from PlayStation Direct arrived with no issues Stores like Target are being reported to have the PlayStation 5 name Display label on the outside of the box. So I don't know if that's true the outside of the box thing I say this because I I don't I can't speak with PlayStation 5 I have had an Xbox series X arrived from Target that I reshipped out to somebody and That console did not have a label or name of the system on the outside of the box It was just a typical target brown box There was no nothing indicating on it that it was an Xbox series X So I'm not so sure about the claims that oh the target ones have like this this big label that says it's a PlayStation 5 I don't actually think that's true because why would it be different for my package versus any other target package? I have my mom who orders from Target all the time And online and they don't have any labels on the packages. You don't know what it is to open it So I don't I don't know that's really the case This person claims to be a former Sony employee here impossible role Sony can't disable consoles Let me see here stop parodying this BS. I'm a FedEx driver Most of us seasoned drivers wouldn't do something like this. Why because we're not douchebags like you assume I'm making upwards of 70 K a year doing this and to risk it for a $500 game skill game console Absolutely asinine the fact that you're even assuming that our driver would steal it without any proof is absurd See we got to give both both sides of the argument here as real as the drivers don't work for FedEx, right? It's more like the the drivers as the workers are under cameras and security and could not easily pull something like that off It's the drivers that work for the service providers if anything interesting interesting Maybe stop using a bot to my station funny. Let's get to another claim here. Thanks Thanks FedEx for supposedly delivering off this issue. They should have done absolutely nothing to fix it So your refund has been issued a refund in the amount of the $498.50 it's 50 cents corresponding tax amount has been approved for the items below this amount will be credited back To your original former payment in seven to 14 days So this is someone who got a refund for it because FedEx never delivered the package. Here's the thing We are in a pandemic so there's gonna be some weird things there's gonna be shipping delays That's all expected like sometimes you'll get your two-day shipping from Amazon and it comes on day three or day four Sometimes you'll pay for next day air and you really get it in two days instead of the next day There are there have been a lot of shipping delays thanks to the pandemic So that is something that I think people are willing to accept shipping delays like yeah, it's a little upset You know you pre-order a launch console. It's not there on launch day. It's not there the day after But you know, maybe it's there a week later or two weeks later It sucks what people are willing to accept it what they're not willing to accept is when a Company, you know a shipping company a popular shipping company tells you your package has been delivered as you've been sitting out on your front porch all Day waiting for your package to be delivered only to be updated on your phone Hey, your package has been delivered, but then it's not there it's weird right and What's even stranger and I maybe this is why we're not here to know it from UPS I don't I don't get a lot of FedEx packages, but UPS. I got to give UPS some credit here I ordered a Xbox Series X But I got You know through not sorry not a series X. This was a different console launch looks like a PlayStation 4 or Xbox. I can't remember. Hey, this was a while ago. I ordered it through Amazon or whatever and it came via UPS. All right Well, I'm a I'm a UP. I have a UPS account and everything the UPS account on the day of delivery Gave me GPS tracking of the of the delivery truck So they would be like hey your package is gonna come, you know at some point today before 8 p.m. But I could literally track The truck itself that had my package on it So I knew exactly where that delivery truck was and where my package was I don't know if FedEx offers this service I don't order enough packages through FedEx. Maybe they do but I just know that hey I was tracking my my package all the way to my house So I knew when I had to be at my house if I was up to lunch I could literally be glad something Oh, yeah, do the guy the guy's like, you know within a couple miles of my house I probably should get home Especially if I have to sign for a package So I think that that that's what we're not hearing about this happening with UPS because UPS offers this tracking service where you Can't really falsely deliver something because the customer can track the actual Truck to know if it ever got delivered So I think that there is Some some issues here with FedEx. Obviously, there's some issues with how they ran in general I'm not saying that like an overall FedEx delivery driver that doesn't for a living You know that that's working there every single year all year long I don't think those are the kind of delivery drivers You would think would steal a package because again, you know Not only are there multiple security checks for them and yeah They could drop off a package anywhere along the route and just you know have a have a buddy help them out but I think the the bigger issue is Is that these guys make good money? They're not going to risk their job over a $500 system They'll just wait like anyone else until it's in stock and buy it for themselves But but I will say there are such things as seasonal workers We are in the month of november seasonal workers have begun seasonal workers are temporary workers These are not permanent employees the seasonal workers don't make as much money as the permanent employees There are employees that tag along with these seasonal workers so The seasonal workers Potentially could be the ones that are stealing now They would still have to go through the same metal detectors and they would obviously have to have some sort of system set up Where you know they're delivering the package or claiming they're delivering the package But they're dropping it off somewhere else and the main driver is not double checking because maybe it's a seasonal worker They've worked with before I have no idea. So there is a possibility. This is happening I think the more likely scenario Is someone is messing up Back at warehousing So the package is never actually getting on the truck But the delivery driver doesn't want to be seen as responsible Like they'll go to deliver a package and they'll go in the back of their truck And when they're looking for it for the next delivery and they realize oh crap the package isn't here Did I forget it? I don't want to get in trouble because they will get in trouble if they don't fully load their trucks Right if they're missing packages on their truck they will get in trouble So they just mark it as delivered Uh in order to avoid getting in trouble and what happens in cases like that Is and this has already happened with some people who have made these claims the FedEx delivery doesn't end up showing up a few days later It's just it's already March has delivered and that that delivery date didn't change So basically the FedEx employee messed up marked it as delivered to keep their numbers good And then they make up for it next time they're on a route That's near your area Which is dumb because you be like why won't they just immediately run it back out to the next day? Well, they have a job and their their next route might not be in your area They might have to go somewhere else So the next time they have a route in your area they'll just swing by and drop it off That is something that happens and it's unfortunate. I think that that's probably what's more likely happening here I don't think the packages are getting lost I don't think I think that there's just so much going on so much chaos with the pandemic Sometimes packages are not making it onto the truck and they're trying to keep their numbers up So they don't lose their job So they mark it as delivered and then they bring it next time they're they're on a similar route that's near your house So then nobody notices that they're going out because like they can't go out of the way They are GPS tracked by FedEx So they can't go out of their way So it has to be on a route that's already in your area Like if there's already a package being delivered on your street That's a great time to stop on by and drop off that package along the route because you know They could stop anywhere along the street for any number of reasons They might pull over so they could figure out the next stop They're going to they can pull over to then going back and reorganize their packages for the next deliveries all that stuff So again, I think that's more likely what's happening, but I hear the frustration It's really crappy to have a company that has systems in place that can lead to your package Claiming it's out for delivery when it's not actually on the truck And then having it claim it's delivered when they never showed up at your house I think that is a super super crappy thing to happen So regardless of me not really thinking that FedEx is stealing packages I do think that there is a problem at FedEx in general that doesn't seem to exist at UPS from my experience anyways Again my experience. I know there's UPS horror stories out there as well So I'm just throwing out there that you know what there's something wrong and how their systems are ran How packages can even be marked as offer delivery when we when they're not even confirmed to be on the truck There's just a lot of messiness going on If there happens to be employees stealing it, I'm not going to say it hasn't happened I'm going to say it's super rare and it's not going to be your typical FedEx driver Because again, you make good money delivering these packages And there's a reason they make good money delivering packages because they are handling Thousands of dollars worth of packages a day trying to ensure those packages get to people's homes I realize packages get kicked around at warehouse and all the stuff but the actual drivers aren't booting packages Right like they're actually pretty careful about the package. I've seen Them at other houses, you know carefully bring packages to doors and set them down heavy ones You know fragile ones like they're the drivers seem to be pretty careful with the packages What happens in warehousing happens in warehousing kind of stays in warehousing anyways I want to thank you guys for tuning in. You guys let me know what you think about this Is FedEx stealing is this just an overall frustrating situation because we're trying to get a high demand product Let me know down in the comments below. I'll catch you guys in the next video
