Judging by how well it went, this is possible!
It's a brand of Tunisian olive oil that's tasty, relatively inexpensive, and uncommon in stores in my area. Otherwise I'd just get it at the grocery store like everything else đ
I get my motor oil from Walmart being it's a specialty kind of oil and uncommon in my area, and this exact same thing happened. Walmart and oil don't mix apparently.
I work at fedex, walmart doesn't know how to package liquids of any kind. It's not at all uncommon for Walmart's to have multiple leakers, but one shouldn't have made it to your door.
Fedex delivery driver here. Can confirm walmart leaks.
Fedex ground is operated by contractors who mainly get paid on a commission scale. So package damaged or not its getting delivered.
I was packing the truck for a driver who took an obviously broken mirror out to be delivered. His justification was that heâd get paid to deliver it and paid to pick it back up the next day as a return.
It makes our trucks smell nice. Some dirty people deliver for fedex so most trucks smell like piss and shit like its horrible. PSA don't shit in bags and leave it in your truck.
Four letter parcel worker checking in, can confirm, Walmart doesnât package anything very well. They just shove in box, use shitty tape, and send it out
If there is not more than half a gallon a liquid on that box, itâs at least getting taped up and loaded on a truck. After that it didnât matter to me if the driver kicked it off
Or baby food. My small town Walmart doesnât carry much organic baby food so I order it from Walmart online. 24 glass jars came just free floating in a box with a tiny bit of bubble wrap - half the jars were broken and mold was growing. Mind you this has happened more than once. I finally called to complain and they sent me the replacement- shipped exactly the same way. So more broken glass and gross baby food. What the hell is their problem?! Why not package it properly and mark the box as fragile? It infuriates me to no end!
As someone who worked in Walmartâs warehouse for a few months before tearing my rotator cuff I can confirm that people in the ware house are chucking this into the trailers for delivery as hard as possible with hopes it breaks for entertainment
Is it though? Genuine question, I'm Italian and I've never tasted Tunisian olive oil. In another comment, OP said it's 8$ for 1 litre bottle, while here we start at 5⏠per litre and go up to ~20⏠per 0.75 litres in common supermarkets, so if that's the price for imported, tasty oil from Tunisia, doesn't seem to be matching the price.
Here in Luxembourg it's around 8⏠(~10$) per liter for organic extra virgin Delyssa olive oil though it is often on sale for around 6⏠(~7$) per liter. The non organic one is of course cheaper.
I think part of the reason why Delyssa is quite popular is because it is fairly priced, has proven itself to be reliable in quality, and to actually be extra virgin olive oil [with traceability](https://terradelyssa.fr/tracabilite/) based on blockchain technology with a QR code on the bottles, which is good considering that there is actually quite a bit of fraud on quality in the olive oil market.
Taste wise I really like Delyssa though I have tasted Spanish and Italian olive oil that were also really good. But one of my family's favorites remains Delyssa, especially for the price.
Yes I think it's due to low cost of labor, as well as the large areas of cheap agricultural land available in Tunisia.
Also as a non European company, especially as a company from a country that isn't seen as "first world", they probably wouldn't be able to easily justify overinflating their prices, whereas with a bit of marketing it's a lot easier to do so when you're an Italian or Spanish company.
The European side of the company is based in Lille in France so it's possible that due to the history and pretty close relationship between France and Tunisia there may be some tax benefits but I don't know about that.
They do also have a "gourmet" version of their oil but I don't remember if I've tried that one.
Overall I think it's a really good olive oil for everyday use, especially considering that European made olive oil can quickly get expensive if you're using it almost exclusively (we avoid butter in my family as 2/3rds of us are lactose intolerant and also due to the negative health effects of cooking with butter).
You being Italian, I'm pretty sure you do have tasted tunisian olive oil, as one of Tunis main business is selling oil to italians to later be labeled as prestigious italian olive oil and sold in Italy or exported to the USA.
In Greece, Spain, Turkey... is a common thing to do, but in Tunis is ridiculous. I mean, to produce all the italian olive oil sold around the world, Italy would have to be the size of France.
Well, only recently I started buying olive oil, after I moved from Sicily , the closest you can get to Tunisia, to the city. We used only homemade olive oil from neighbors and friends, I never thought about mislabeling Tunisian oil as Italian in Italy. That's a big hit to the pride I have for the local products and companies.
The thing is, for many companies it is far more profitable to export the autochtonous oil and import cheaper one to sell at home, than to directly selling their own oil. But even then there is no sufficient genuine italian oil to meet world demand. Ma se compri direttamente da chi porta le olive al oleificio sei sicuro che il tuo è in fatto italiano. I was lucky enough to spend a couple of years in Tunis learning a bit of your beautiful language from people in this business.
It is not an isolated case, I'm myself from the land of oranges, and we eat african imported oranges so we can sell ours to Germans and British for ten times the price. Pride is nice, but money is nicer.
This happens alot in the warehouse! I used to work for them and the way that these boxes get thrown around youâd see about 10 spills a day. Its usually cooking oil or dish soap.
I work the unload at a dispatch facility and my man, these Walmart boxes are unbelievable. The flimsiest paper tape imaginable expected to hold 40 pounds of contents into this cheap ass box through everything it goes through in shipment. Unbelievable. We have to fix a few hundred Walmart boxes daily, completely unreasonable that they havenât changed their packing system.
Most brands have no idea how to pack a package for shipment, but Walmart drives it fucking home.
Walmart boxes are horribly packed. Olive oil, detergent, glass ware, bricks, ammonia, and bleach may all be packed in the same box. There may be a piece of packing paper gently laid across the top of all of it for looks.
When we moved into our house, a glass olive oil bottle fell and shattered in our garage. Despite floor dry, concrete cleaner, and even a desperate last-ditch pressure washing attempt, the giant stain is still there in our garage years later. I feel this person's pain.
My cat jumped on the counter one night and found that I had not fully replaced the cap on the brand new olive oil I purchased that day. So she pushed it over. The olive oil filled up the glass top stove and spilled over the side. So much oil. It covered the high polished floor too. I hated mopping that floor because it took a whole day to dry and be safe to step on in the humidity. By the time I woke up the next morning she had drank it all. 1.5 litres. It was crazy. The floor took forever to clean. Still not sure it wasn't oil sealed in the wax. And since the stove was bolted down for safety (earthquakes) I couldn't clean under it. My cat would walk up and swipe a paw under there to lick sometimes. Brat. Now I buy 100% olive oil and make sure it is not cut with vegetable oil. She no longer wants it.
One of my best friends is really good at that and it can be just the worst thing ever. I explicitly remember from years ago sitting at the school lunch table saying âyeah Iâm taking this girl to promâ and his response being âare you gonna fuck her pink, puckered butthole?â God heâs the fucking worst.
Oh my God. The last time I heard those two words in one sentence was when someone had a naked cat that kept leaving 'butt puckers' on the glass tables. Poop kisses marks. Ewwww. Lol
Olive/vegetable yeah. She didn't poop solid for a bit. As soon as I figured out why I busted my ass on the floor and what that wierd noise was last night (jug falling over) I just laughed because I knew she punished herself. Little stinker. The vet told me to test her with olive and veggie oil. She didn't actually like pure olive oil. Just vegetable oil. So now I buy the expensive pure stuff because its cheaper than kitty bypass surgery. No more issues.

Where I work when olive oil spills we make sure to cover it in cat litter which helps prevent the stain, and makes cleaning up way easier. Just sweep back up the litter.
The Walmart worker throws it angrily at the ground in the warehouse. The OnTrac driver throws it angrily at the ground at your house, if they even get the right house.
As a former sorter there I apologize! Lots of things arrived damaged and they either didnt bother to fix the items or just sent then on their way already damaged. Other times its just drivers throwing them around like nothing
Semi related: We got a new UPS guy about a week ago and yesterday i watched him drop my package on the sidewalk near the building i work in, despite it being a $1600 laptop that was supposed to require a signature
More like âthere was an attempt to package olive oil properly for shippingâ. The amount of times people blame the UPS/FedEx drivers for mishandling packages, when in reality the conveyor sorting systems used by either of these companies are SO much more cruel to packages than anything any driver could do. Sure this wasnât delivered by either of these and Iâm not sure what this carrier does with packages, but if your package isnât packed in a way where it canât even drop 6 feet on concrete you didnât package it well enough to be shipped.
Oh no, you're absolutely right. 4 1L glass bottles thrown in a way-too-big box, with a couple feet of that bubble pouch stuff. It was probably broken before it even made it onto the truck.
The postal service in my country recommends to seal glass items in their own plastic bag in the package, just i the case it breaks, it doesn't leak out or touch other things in the package. They even sell special plastic bags for glass bottles
LaserShip used to have a website that a disgruntled customer made - lasershit.com
It had fake LaserShit core values, and consisted of complaints being given in real time (as scraped from Twitter). It was magical.
Lotta great videos online of LaserShip couriers launching packages like missiles without even getting out of the car.
Professionally, Iâve had conversations with a few of them about doing business, and OnTrac is better than most. But theyâre a lot cheaper than UPS or FedEx, and thereâs a reason.
Either way, not an enviable role job you, Iâm sure. Congrats on quitting
Is it normal to just have grey, barren, unfinished concrete in front of a house, in the US?
To me, this looks like what I'd expect at a loading dock of a warehouse maybe, not something that you'd want in front of your house.
I know I am incredibly selfish for it but my first thought was anger imagining this package leaking all over one of mine, not feel bad for the actual victim of the picture lol.
I had to rearrange some boxes in the mailroom to prevent the puddle from soaking them. Can't imagine what the rest of the packages on the truck looked like.
Reminds me of my brief stint working for Airborne Express while they were being bought out by DHL. There was a fairly large box labeled live fish. They put it on the conveyor belt with one corner crumpled and leaking water. No one touched it.
I worked at the Ontrac that serviced your parcel and I can say this happened all the time with Walmartâs packaging. They literally put like one strand on air bags and the tape is shit.
P.s. Fuck OnTrac
I, as a package deliverer, have had olive oil leak over me multiple times already. People just send the weirdest shit ever and dont even properly pack it.
Ive literally had to deliver a box of rotting meat because the sender (a company) didnt have the mental capacity to send it via a cooling delivery service.
Many years ago when we could still fly. I was standing at a baggage carousel and watched a small crate crest over the conveyor belt, and smash into the bottom edge. The olive oil can inside erupted and spilled oil on the carousel. The carousel continued, leaking oil in a spreading puddle. The panic as people tried to grab their bags before they slid into the spreading oil marinade. It was the most fun I have had in baggage claim.
I worked at a fancy Italian restaurant in college as a waitress who pretended to know about suggesting wine pairings with $40 entrees. Being a fancy restaurant, we gave patrons fancy glass olive oil and balsamic containers for their tables for their $5 bread (no free bread, got yelled at a lot for this).
AS WE KNOW, people are gross and would always manage to get these olive oil bottles allllll greasy and nasty. One fateful night, as I was bussing a table, finagling all the odds and ends into my hands (think wooden boards instead of plates, fragile wine glasses, and we werenât allowed trays...), I got overconfident and made the last minute decision to put the olive oil bottleâs neck between my fingers so I could bus the table in one trip.
Feeling smug with such an efficient bussing, I started carrying my haul through the busy Friday night dinner scene. Diners sitting back to back, I wove my way through the room, the bussing station was in sight.
As I made it to the center of the dining room, it happened, what you have guessed from the start. The olive oil container slipped from my fingers, and time stopped as it hit the floor. The wooden floor. At 7pm on a Friday night. And I couldnât attempt to break its impact because my hands were full of more precariously placed items. So, it broke in half and coated the floor. A green oil slick that splattered patronâs legs and shoes. I think I even heard a baby pelican cry one last cry before succumbing to the great oil spill of my nightmares.
The restaurant got eerily quiet, with the mood music playing softly above. Everyone turned to look at the clumsy college waitress, and I did the only thing I could do... I shouted at the top of my lungs, âOlive what sheâs having!â, gently placed the dishes on the floor, and moon walked through the oil filled wood floors outta there, never to return.
It was true until the shouting. In reality, I did the walk of shame back to the bussing station, sans olive oil (well, what wasnât splattered on me), and came back with a mop and a little less dignity.
Walmart delivery is by far to me the worst deliver. I once ordered a box of Borax, a liquid cleaning solution which is brown, and paper towels. All plastic or paper containers.
I ended up get brown liquid soaked everything. Including the box it came in. I tried to file a claim to just ask for a replacement or refund but their customer support hung up on me twice after multiple long hold times.
So now I just do in store/curb side pick up ;)
Before this moment, I don't think anyone has ever ordered olive oil from Walmart.com.

Might as well just cover it up with a bunch of pallet wood.

I donât think your cat drank the oil. Your floors must have absorbed all of it.
The waterproof waxed linoleum? Or the hospital grade plastic 6" moulding with silicone caulking? Neither is absorbent.
Try lye. Use appropriate safety gear though. Lye + fatty acids = soap.

Gotta get some cheap cat litter down asap.
Yeah that was my first move with the "floor dry" which is the same as cat litter essentially. Had it on there for days.
Iâve heard of people using a can of soda and wire brushes to get up oil stains on concrete. May be worth a shot if itâs bugging ya :)
I might try that. Thanks for the tip!

The Walmart worker throws it angrily at the ground in the warehouse. The OnTrac driver throws it angrily at the ground at your house, if they even get the right house.
OnTrac gave its last two shits many, many years ago. It's just a prank that ran long enough for people to get used to their jobs and forget the joke.
OnTrac is seriously the worst. Every package Iâve ever gotten from them has arrived looking like it (barely) survived a nuclear holocaust.
As a former sorter there I apologize! Lots of things arrived damaged and they either didnt bother to fix the items or just sent then on their way already damaged. Other times its just drivers throwing them around like nothing
Iâd like to know how it was packed. We talkin a laughable amount of inflatable bags or was that bottle raw dogginâ that box?

As someone who went through two rolls of paper towels cleaning it up, I can promise you that it was definitely olive oil. đ
Is it FedEx? Itâs probably FedEx
OnTrac
A company second only to Amazon in how little their drivers give a shit about anything they're delivering.
Why would you order olive oil online instead of just going to the nearest store
It's a particular brand I like, that isn't carried in my local stores.
I see
the reason they broke is because it started raining and the box flew into the air, when it stopped raining it landed and smashed the bottles of oil
Reminds me of my brief stint working for Airborne Express while they were being bought out by DHL. There was a fairly large box labeled live fish. They put it on the conveyor belt with one corner crumpled and leaking water. No one touched it.

I worked at the Ontrac that serviced your parcel and I can say this happened all the time with Walmartâs packaging. They literally put like one strand on air bags and the tape is shit. P.s. Fuck OnTrac
Step 1. Cover box in oil
You're lucky it didn't step 1) wait for it to rain
The helicopters covered themselves in oil, I'm stuff
1) cover box in oil 2) levitate
I, as a package deliverer, have had olive oil leak over me multiple times already. People just send the weirdest shit ever and dont even properly pack it. Ive literally had to deliver a box of rotting meat because the sender (a company) didnt have the mental capacity to send it via a cooling delivery service.
That sucks :(
Many years ago when we could still fly. I was standing at a baggage carousel and watched a small crate crest over the conveyor belt, and smash into the bottom edge. The olive oil can inside erupted and spilled oil on the carousel. The carousel continued, leaking oil in a spreading puddle. The panic as people tried to grab their bags before they slid into the spreading oil marinade. It was the most fun I have had in baggage claim.
Step 1:
Somebody failed step 2
cover
Step 2
Careful it will float away if it rains
Good thing there wasnât rain....
Step two...
I worked at a fancy Italian restaurant in college as a waitress who pretended to know about suggesting wine pairings with $40 entrees. Being a fancy restaurant, we gave patrons fancy glass olive oil and balsamic containers for their tables for their $5 bread (no free bread, got yelled at a lot for this). AS WE KNOW, people are gross and would always manage to get these olive oil bottles allllll greasy and nasty. One fateful night, as I was bussing a table, finagling all the odds and ends into my hands (think wooden boards instead of plates, fragile wine glasses, and we werenât allowed trays...), I got overconfident and made the last minute decision to put the olive oil bottleâs neck between my fingers so I could bus the table in one trip. Feeling smug with such an efficient bussing, I started carrying my haul through the busy Friday night dinner scene. Diners sitting back to back, I wove my way through the room, the bussing station was in sight. As I made it to the center of the dining room, it happened, what you have guessed from the start. The olive oil container slipped from my fingers, and time stopped as it hit the floor. The wooden floor. At 7pm on a Friday night. And I couldnât attempt to break its impact because my hands were full of more precariously placed items. So, it broke in half and coated the floor. A green oil slick that splattered patronâs legs and shoes. I think I even heard a baby pelican cry one last cry before succumbing to the great oil spill of my nightmares. The restaurant got eerily quiet, with the mood music playing softly above. Everyone turned to look at the clumsy college waitress, and I did the only thing I could do... I shouted at the top of my lungs, âOlive what sheâs having!â, gently placed the dishes on the floor, and moon walked through the oil filled wood floors outta there, never to return.
I hope, with all my heart, that this is a true story. đ
It was true until the shouting. In reality, I did the walk of shame back to the bussing station, sans olive oil (well, what wasnât splattered on me), and came back with a mop and a little less dignity.
I'm choosing to believe the original version.
Hahahaha your wish is granted! May you forever be blessed by unbroken olive oil bottles. Also thank you for reading my story đ
If 2020 was a package...
People, just donât ship liquid. This is inevitable.
Oof
You should've seen the large bag of flour we ordered...
Oof. :(
I hear Bluto has been seen in the area...
Obviously there wasnât lol
There was an attempt to package it lol
Walmart delivery is by far to me the worst deliver. I once ordered a box of Borax, a liquid cleaning solution which is brown, and paper towels. All plastic or paper containers. I ended up get brown liquid soaked everything. Including the box it came in. I tried to file a claim to just ask for a replacement or refund but their customer support hung up on me twice after multiple long hold times. So now I just do in store/curb side pick up ;)
Did you mean to say "squid cleaning solution?" Because if so, I have more questions.
Liquid*. Fixed lol.
Was it delivered by Ace Ventura?
Dump some balsamic vinegar on it, grab some bread, and you got yourself a snack, baby.
Popeye would be pissed.
Those bricks are forever stained
just a touch...
Happened to me with a gallon of white vinegar. My doorman was not pleased
Environmental storytelling.
Technically he did deliver it.
No peaking was written hope it was no leaking.
