It looks like the guy in the shorts is in training. Still no excuse.

HEY, hasn't ANYBODY noticed that not only does the guy NOT have a FedEx uniform...BUT THE TRUCK IS NOT A FEDEX TRUCK!!! I'm no fan of FedEx but something looks fishy here. Let's face it.

That is flat out embarrassing. I will give no excuses but the guy is a temporary help courier because he has no FedEx uniform on. I worked for FedEx for 30 years and always delivered a package as if I was on camera. Some people seem to have no pride in their job. I say it doesn't matter if you clean toilets or a CEO just care about how you do your task. Hopefully, this joker is gone from the company.

YEP, I've seen that too - FedEx is not one of my favorites due to this sort of issue. Where I can, I desiginate UPS and USPS - did have one "substitute carrier" who dumped a electronic item over my gate onto the ground, that I witnessed as I walked around the corner of the house - she caught it from me, and I reported her....never saw her again) the device survived, well packaged, but I didn't like what I saw. Now we have Amazon drivers, LaserShip (Walmart) looking for a lost package from them right now, and others to contend with.
These are the handling issues that are seen, one can imagine what goes on where no cameras are present, some of my small boxed packages have looked like they (FedEx) played football with them, and I have had a number of FedEx packages that looked to have been opened and then taped up, and some were opened and missing parts, taped back up....usually the same FedEx driver in all those cases. He always claims he got them that way, but why is it always his deliveries???? Me thinks there is a rat......
They are probably starting to wise up, what with Ring and Nest and all the security cameras....one would be a fool to continue that kind of behaivor, an unemployed fool......

Does anyone knows what is happening while cameras and lenses are being loaded in trucks and in transit?

B&H uses a variety of shippers at their option....whoever is handy , cheaper, whatever. If you want them to use a specific shipper, and cost is higher, you can pay the difference and get who you want.
I doubt other companies are any different.

Amazon instructs all deliveries to be placed right at the front door, several times I couldn't even open the door because a large box is blocking it. The worst is when the package is small enough to fit under the door as it is opened and you almost step on the package. It could ruin anything inside or even possibly cause a fall. I've contacted Amazon about this to no avail.

Holiday season is at hand and a lot of temps and sub-contractors will be on the streets.
Last year one guy came down my street driving one of those 6-8 passenger golf cart type things loaded with packages and dressed like a tourist.

You need to watch for the porch pirates. Often they will follow the delivery trucks.
I saw one car idling along just after a delivery truck came down my block and when I aimed my camera and long lens (trying for shots of birds in the trees along the street) at the car it took off like a dragster. Parked cars got in the way so I didn't get a shot of the plates but it matched the description the local PD put in the paper's on line site as being a suspected porch pirate.

You remind me of a weird experience I had. I had ordered a set of books from Amazon, and a couple of days later when I looked a my computer, it said that my package was delivered. So I opened the front door. No package. So I stepped out and looked all over and could not find the package. I then figured someone had stolen it. So Amazon sent me a replacement package. Then, about two weeks later my son came over and discovered a box hidden in the bushes. It was my original order. How it got there, I do not know. Of course, I sent it back.

Yes. I'm only 5'6". There's a place in our back room that is almost 8' off the floor so even the guilty culprits have to climb to hide things.
