See Everything That Happens When a Package is Shipped | WIRED

Ever wonder what happens to a package when it gets shipped? We stuck a GoPro in a clear acrylic box, had it filming the entire time, and got a chance to see what the package went through on its way to your doorstep.

See Everything That Happens When a Package is Shipped | WIRED

It ruins the magic when the whole video is staged.

Puts a GoPro in a transparent box.
Films the GoPro from the outisde.
* FACEPALM *

[ThisIsJohnsonLim]

Would love to know the model of this gopro with eternal battery life

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

Fake. I don't see the part where hostile sorting plant workers making minimum wage kick the package off the wall like a soccer ball, or where the package is hidden in the warehouse from the end of Raiders while they extort ridiculous brokerage fees from you. And the video doesn't end with some sketchy person grabbing it off a porch and hauling ass to the nearest pawn shop.

[idunnopoetry]

Well that was disappointing. Why not go into more detail, maybe show some of the shit the camera saw?

[JamesSweeper]

As a ups driver I can confirm this is fake. There is no way a ups truck is packed that lightly. Also if it was legit they would've showed the amount of abuse the average package takes in the process. UPS is not as smooth sailing as this video makes it seem.

[Getawaymoments]

All staged not "real"
Would be funny to see this actually done right.

[BenedictionPresents]

What was the point of this video? The majority of the video shown here isn't from the GoPro. I think WIRED needs to rethink their video formats or else I'm unsubscribing.

[andrewkiminhwan]

so the modern day santas are actually UPS Pilots haha

[sTrAwBeRrY-sHorTcAkE]

That's actually so frikin cool


Also, who's watching this because there trying to pass time since they ordered a package

[geniebrogan]

why is no one talking about how much energy it takes to deliver a package, mostly for some that is an impulse buy?

[annyongpanda]

If this isn't sponsored by UPS, then WIRED has some explaining to do for these aggressively staged shots and eyeroll-inducing campaign lines. Come on.

Me: *orders glass cups*

Deliveryman: *throws package at door really hard and runs to the car and drives away*

[Dracotonis]

Need to do this when they dont know there is a camera

[MrHacknever]

I find it odd that people say that this is staged with arguments like endless battery life, nice handling etc.

But it SHOULD BE obvious when there are 3rd person shots of the package, area etc.

[DespicableJosh]

Let me know where you can find a go pro battery that lasts that long

[Theprissyhen]

Need this done for the usps. I track my packages and the route it takes can be numerous.

[TackForce]

An acrylic box will never survive the trip intact!

[andikahetris]

One hell of a click bait, the damn camera box doesn't even show anything that matters

[antzpantz]

This definitely needed to be time-lapsed...
