I have this package delivered to my door in this condition (stupid customer, last time I give you a package 🖕) while I was at the office. It had all the right information, also on the bell the floor of the tenants are clearly visible. Also, there was no one at home, so the delivery person probably entered the apartment by ringing someone else’s bell. Anyways, it is not important as all the details were there correctly and the person still thought he/she had the right to insult me in this way. I am really pissed. I will contact to the delivery company and the selling company about this issue, but also I will seek legal consultation for this. Can I sue this person for insult? Or am I going too far? It is just that I am so sick of being lectured or insulted in this country as an expat for doing nothing wrong. Am I overreacting?

  1. if you know who regularly delivers to your area perhaps by dhl or dpd take note and check them , confront them

    i’m sure you can find out who delivered the package by tracking who delivered for you

  3. Probably the problem is that you order stuff but are never at home so it takes the delivery person ages to get rid of their packages. Of course they shouldn’t act this way but maybe have your packages delivered to drop off locations instead, if you’re never home?

  4. Bro still messed up 2 words in an 8 word sentence.

  7. report him to the company, don’t sue him, it’s not worth your time

  8. you could send an email to costumer support with this photo maybe?

  9. Send the foto to the delivery company with date, time and tracking number and demand clarification about how they handle this blatant misconduct will be handled.

    Expect a “We have talked to the delivery person and he is deeply sorry for their frustration”.

    Sue them over the insult? I mean, sure, you can indeed spend hundreds of Euros upfront in order to have the delivery person pay a couple hundred euros to SOS Kinderdorf. If the case gets through and is not just closed due to a lack of public interest. Civil suit? Sure – sue a minimum wage worker – be it an insulting muppet or not – over a couple of scraped together Euros and the heavy damage you suffered from this writing. While the message is surely not nice or even okay, I, personally, would have more important things to do in my free time. For example to look for the nearest Packstationen and parcel shops to redirect my packets.

  10. What are you, 12 years old? Is it so hard to ignore?

  11. Seriously, legal consultation and suing for being called stupid?

  12. Lawyers in germany cost up to 225 EUR per hour + other legal fees. Do you think it’s worth it? Also try looking at it from a different perspective. I mean he took the time to draw a middle finger, I almost ROFL when I saw it.

  13. I always feel sorry for delivery workers. They always get yelled at for parking somewhere or when they drop off parcels at a branch. They’re usually subcontractors, and they only get paid for the parcels they deliver. Just get a number for a Packstation, or have the parcels sent to you when you’re at home. That way, both parties can work together more smoothly. Delivery workers usually don’t speak proper German, so they must have similar problems like you. They’re under a lot of time pressure and don’t get paid much. I wouldn’t do anything about that, because it’s just ridiculous.

  15. I dunno— maybe register with your local Packstation??

  17. While such a message isn‘t nice at all, I love how much effort s/he put into drawing the little hand 😅

  18. Leave a nice note in the hallway for the delivery person and invite them for a tea/coffee or attach a small packet of gummie to the note – the person would be really surprised and not bother you again.
    Front line staff in Germany isn’t well trained on dealing with the stress of the job and how to handle situations, so they don’t know how to respond.

    You can leave of-course or inspire some positive action.

  19. Did you consider maybe that someone from your neighbour wrote that message ?

  20. You are overreacting because you are projecting. You say you’re sick and tired of being lectured as an expat. What does the package have to do with that? Take some time to calm down, right it it seems more like you’re looking for a target of your anger. And the (according to his German) expat who works for (probably less than) minimum wage under shitty conditions really isn’t the best choice of target.

    Complaining to the company is fair enough, after all this behaviour isn’t cool, but sueing him – besides being a massive waste of time and money – doesn’t affect the people you’re actually mad at. Don’t do anything today, it’s nothing time sensitive so take your time to regulate yourself.

  21. Sound like your neighbour is annoyed with letting delivery drivers in

  23. That’s kinda the equivalent of being flipped off while driving. Can it be upsetting? Yeah. Are you gonna go to the police, try to sue the person, go on a strike etc? Not worth your while.

  24. Someone looked at me the wrong way on the street, can i sue them? 😂😂😂 you probably deserved that note

  25. grown ass man crying on the internet because he got called stupid

  26. This is rage bait post. Brand new account. This never happened.

  27. You sure it’s the delivery guy and not a neighbour angry that the deliver guy woke them up / disturbed them to get in to deliver your parcel?

  30. please laugh and move on with your day like any decent human being would lol. Sounds like you have never worked in the service industry, or any job where you deal with the general public. Stressed humans have bad days and they do this kind of stuff, this to me is hilarious. You want to bring someone to court over it?? let it go

  31. Based on your replies to many of these comments, you sound incorrigible.

    I find the situation a bit funny, to be honest. And I would if I were you too. It would only become a problem for me IF I did, in fact, face problems recieving future packages. Until then, chill out and get some fresh air.

  33. Damn OP sounds really soft and mentally unstable. Talking about the whole thing getting ugly in the replies lmao

  34. How do you know it was really the delivery guy? The package was accessible by all others in the house. Of course suspect number one, but I wouldn’t be too sure. Just saying.

  35. Send this photo to the delivery company and this will indeed the last time he give you (or anyone else) any packets

  36. do you have gave them allownce to drop off you packagde at home ? if not what thier doing makes them liable as it could get stolen and it not you fault.

    if you gave them permission to just drop it off tought luck.

  37. Lmao, i used to be a zusteller in DHL, if i did this shit i would definetly be grounded (in my ZSP atleast)

    Im not saying that its correct what they did, but I understand, that job is the last layer of hell.
