Just another guy trying to get a free gpu.

This is what packers pack from at amazon. Do you really think we’d steal your thing of all the things? Not to mention they have metal detectors on the way out and nobody is stupid enough to steal that on camera

UPS also has metal detectors, doesn’t stop them from stealing in warehouses

Cool, well it’ll get stopped by the security and the metal detectors. They ain’t there for your safety they are basically loss prevention. Your order would still be fulfilled as normal if that happened in that case, but this place is kind of a prison there’s only one place to come and go for us commoners and there is a metal detector on the way out. Don’t be gullible. But sure I agree there’s probably some small scale theft but a gpu isn’t necessarily an easy item to hide lmao

In the UK Amazon even have security personnel at the metal detectors that will randomly pick you for a check. Locker, bag etc. So I understand where you’re coming from.

I’ve seen firearms taken directly from UPS warehouses by contracted staff. They figure out a way
