Video | FedEx speedy and professional mail delivery; Setting quality standard for mail delivery

   

Huntsville, Alabama - A FedEx employee is caught on a Ring video setting a safe and quality example of how to deliver mail packages.

A Madison County resident says his Ring surveillance camera captured a FedEx employee sprinting to his porch to deliver a package. "Not only did the FedEx driver deliver the package quickly, but the courier carefully placed the package on the porch. The person was so quick they would not have even known there was a camera filming the delivery. The courier returned to the vehicle as quickly as they had approached the house and then carefully drove off to the next delivery. I was very impressed with the work ethic of this individual. Great job!"

Its report also said requests for assistance from a postal inspector, including 14 requests to use facial recognition technology, sometimes contained little or no explanation..."
