The next day, my entire station was reminded that we are to take out ALL packages regardless of condition so that the customer can refuse them and therefore file the claim with the shipper.
So now I get to bring an empty package to a customer, hope that they're home, tell them that I'm trying to deliver absolutely NOTHING to them, and get them to agree that they want to refuse the package. Makes perfect sense.
Nothing makes us look more incompetent than bringing out an obviously damaged package.
As a customer, they'd rather a damage scan ASAP, so they can reorder, not wait til they wander home and find an empty box on the doorstep.
Because if we don't care enough to stop a clearly damaged package in the system why would drivers care enough to worry about asking the customer, they just release empty/damaged boxes.
Hand packages to your manager and ask them if they would feel comfortable bringing it to the customer, If they say yes, then tell them to suit up.
