Comment on Bestbuy decided to use fucking **DOORDASH** to deliver my order, I couldn't cancel it. Today I was supposed to get it, and I saw the driver stealing the package after marking it as delivered.

  Still, you should hassle the corpos, but don’t forget that the driver is the real criminal here.

  Honestly, I put 50% blame on the thief, 50% blame on Bestbuy. Theft from your fellow working class people is fucked up, but BestBuy using shady delivery services is also unacceptable.

    I’d put blame on doordash as well. What’s the point of a 3p delivery system if the system literally accepts anyone that applies, especially in this case

      Yeah, I definitely agree that they should be required to do the due diligence when it comes to hiring their delivery personnel.

    I can definitely agree that BestBuy & DoorDash are on the chopping block for negligence, but they aren’t the ones who stole your laptop.

    In a better, and perhaps idealistic, world DoorDash would be a perfectly acceptable & respectable option for BestBuy to contract for deliveries. And even in that better world, the driver is still the real criminal; fellow working class or not.

    Justice should fuck everyone that needs to get fucked; whether they are a big fish or a small fish.

      In a better world the driver wouldn’t be exploited in a gig economy and have little incentive to risk criminal charges for a fucking laptop.

      You are completely running past socioeconomic factors to be the main driver of small scale crime.

        Some people are thieves no matter the socioeconomic factors.

    fault isn’t zero sum.

    both the driver and best buy can be 100% at fault.

  No, it is on Best Buy. They could’ve shipped it via a known carrier but elected to go a cheaper route to save money. One bad egg doesn’t work when you’re a large company. Raise the price five dollars or eat the shipping costs and use UPS.

    Kinda missed my point. It’s the driver’s choice to steal.

      So if Bestbuy asked Slick Rick and his boys from da hood to deliver the item and it got stolen by the boys, Bestbuy would be 100% off the hook?

      • kemsat@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        Well BestBuy would be like 95% off the hook. You’re gonna just let Rick & the boys off the hook? Unless BestBuy is running an op with Rick & the boys, it’s Rick & the boys that stole your shit.

        If it keeps happening, and BestBuy keeps using Rick & the boys, then they’d be 100% liable because of negligence.

    Best Buy is not setup like Newegg. This is in store pick up with an extra step.

      They still have stock in warehouses/distribution centers that they can move with real logistics companies like UPS.

      If they want to offer shipping to their customers, they need to use a method that ensures it makes it there safely. DoorDash, instacart, etc are not such methods.

      I’m not sure if that’s even “in-store”, the Doordash map shows the package originally from a warehouse like in a different state 3 hours away (on June 18, one day after ordering), then they moved it overnight (late night of June 18 / early morning of June 19) to a different warehouse 2 hours away, then June 19 they sent a driver to pick it up, bring it to my house, and promptly stole it.

      They could’ve just used UPS!

        Oh I stand corrected then. My local is Best Buy is 10 miles away. I’ve picked up there a few times and seen drivers picking up there before.

        Did not realize they would also deliver direct from a wharehouse.

  I’m not trying to defend BestBuy or DoorDash. This is entirely on the driver.

  You are defending BestBuy in the very next sentence.

  Doordash is designed to deliver food, not expensive electronics. You can bet that if somebody designed a delivery service for electronics, they wouldn’t make it this easy to steal shit. If the driver decides to take your food and eat it themselves, you’re out…what? $25-35? A $700+ laptop is a whole other level.

    Toyota didn’t start out making cars. Does that mean they shouldn’t have started making cars?

    Yes, DoorDash got its start delivering food, but that doesn’t mean they are restricted to that permanently.

    And yes, I recognize that electronics are expensive, but that’s why I said to press charges on the delivery driver. DoorDash & BestBuy didn’t steal the package, even if they are being lazy about their delivery protocol.

    But…

    If we have enough evidence of instances where DoorDash drivers steal with impunity… we should be able to start a class action lawsuit against DoorDash since they are basically being negligent.
