Expert's Assistant chat
Customer: Hello! I received a package today. I was walking up to my building, the postal truck was outside, I HEARD the package drop up on the second floor. I was walking up to the building on the first floor. It is open air where the doors are and I heard the package drop to the concrete. It is broken in several pieces. There is also a hole punched in the side of the box which is marked FRAGILE.
JA: Hi. I'll do all I can to help. Can you tell me more about what's going on?
Customer: What I typed is what is going on. I guess I would like to lodge a complaint against the person who delivered my package. It was DROPPED
JA: Is there anything else the Expert should know before I connect you? Rest assured that they'll be able to help you.
Customer: No

Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to help with this matter.

I understand that you heard the postal carrier drop your delivery onto the concrete, saw that the package was physically damaged, and all while the package was obviously marked as "fragile".
You want to file a Complaint against this particular person as well as the company.
You certainly have a right to, and should file a Complaint with the postal company and ask that the particular agent who delivered to your apartment on that particular day and hour, be brought up on charges.
People have to learn to respect the property of others.

As well a person should carry out his responsibilities with care and appropriate concern for the property of others.
You deserve your property replaced or the replacement value as well as an apology from the postal service man or, at the very least, an explanation of what punishment was meted out to that delivery person.
With what else can I help.

Customer
That is what I felt as well. Thank you. I will go to the P.O. in question and do just that.

Be sure that you have the name of every person with whom you deal so that you can follow up. Otherwise they are going to listen to you for a few minutes and then forget you ever existed.

How else can I help.
