20+ Delivery dilemmas that left customers confused: 'Delivery driver sent me a photo of my parcel mid-air... he frisbee'd it'

Waiting for a package delivery can seem endless. A lot of deliveries get geo-tagged as they bounce across the country. Say you order a shirt, and the company is based in California, but you're in Delaware. You'll wait a while for a shipping label to be created, and then the company will alert you that your package is in the mail. Excellent! You go and see where it's at, and day by day, this little shirt is seeing the good old U S of A. It's in Ohio. Now it's in Idaho. Now it's checking out Milwaukee, before heading to Buffalo. Oh, the places your shirt will go! Over the 7-10 business days it takes to get to you, this shirt will visit many small towns that are inexplicably far from actual route it needs to go. 

If you're lucky, your package will arrive on time and undamaged after touring the 50 states. But that's not what happened with these people. They had to deal with crushed boxes, hungry animals, and uncaring delivery drivers! They shared their frustrations with the internet, and you can check out some of these mishaps below. 

Next, read about this executive director who decided to send an email demanding employees post tons of positive reviews of the company, adding that if they didn't, their "salary may be withheld entirely." (You can guess how well that went over with the staffers!)
