According to my wife. FedEx was to deliver a package my wife was expecting, she was told she would have to sign for it when it arrived. For 3 days FedEx notified my wife they would deliver the package between two times and someone of age was to be sure to be home to sign for it. For 3 days we stayed home all day for the delivery and for 3 days FedEx did not show up. Today They were to deliver between 10:00 Am and 1:00 PM. My wife said the truck pulled into the driveway and she waited for the driver to get out and it never happened, the driver waited a few seconds and left without blowing the horn or ringing the door bell. My wife called FedEx and they told her this was the 4th attempt to deliver. According to my wife they are lying as they never showed up before today and then they did not attempt to make any contact today. Needless to say the wife is upset.
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

We have deliveries by Fed-X and by UPS. I have heard that they are going to merge and be called FED-UPs. Actually, we've had much better service by UPS than by Fed-X. Fed-x puts our boxes of frozen fish from Alaska on the porch, making certain that those boxes are in direct sunshine. We've had to dump more than one box of salmon/halibut/crab meat.

oh they may have "showed up" just at some one else house
the only way you should get a fed ex delivery is signature , they jack you around but at least you get the package
had a lap top delivered 2 weeks ago , neighbor 2 blocks over got it and brought it to me
my kid was sitting at the front window working on stuff watching for the package and ding the email pops in your packaged was delivered , not here so where
luckily an hour later here is the neighbor 2 blocks over with the laptop.
so I call fedex , we get maybe 50% of fedex packages like this or lost all together if I can avoid anything going via them I do. called fed ex tell her I got the email but it was not delivered here , they never stopped here had someone watching
she checks GPS and delivery time and says , it was delivered to another location in the area , I said I know my neighbor 2 blocks over brought it to me a few minutes ago can I speak with the manager of the terminal that driver is out of , this is issue all over town they need to do a short training on how a grid works Ave run north south , streets run east west , they all have numbers and your drivers have got to be smoking something to not get this. so you might want to get them drug tested.
if she can tell the package was delivered to the wrong address an hour later and from the other side of the country why can't the driver figure this out.
well they have made it so she can't call anyone or do anything just take your complaint down so you were heard and then will be ignored , they do not care.

They aren’t on Trapperman but I’m certain they have a social media account somewhere, find it and blow it up.
My daughter bought a box of ziplock sandwich baggies and there were only two in the whole box that the bottom wasn’t blown out. She contacted them and let them know how long she had been a customer and why. Then proceeded to express her disappointment. That was all that was said about it. A week later stuff started showing up at the house. Her grandkids won’t have to buy baggies. lol

Fed ex is reliable and goes above and beyond here. Was in the barn yesterday and the delliveryman found m e. He said I tried the door and nobody answered. I do live out in the country so maybe that makes a difference.

Fed-Ex sucks. last year I took a package to the Joplin, Mo. shipping center and sent a package to Burns Oregon. Here is it's trip across the country twice.
Joplin,Mo./K.C.Mo./Laramie,Wyo./ Mountain Home,ID./Nampa,ID./Troutdale OR./
Delay/
Orlando,FL./Stockbridge,GA./Hopkinsville,KY./ St.Joe,MO./Dix,NE./Malta,ID./The Dalles,OR/Troutdale,OR. (Been Here several days ago before sent to Florida) Hines,OR./Burns OR.
That's got to be a record of some kind for inefficiency for a shipping company.

I do live out in the country so maybe that makes a difference. it has everything to do with your driver lots of people complained about UPS also , I just happened to have a really good driver for many years he liked my dog and that she would sit and wait for him , he would give her a treat as he was headed to the truck. he saw my wife at the co-op in town when she worked there would use the restroom and fill up on water there any time he was making deliveries sometimes drop the house packages to her at work. same with the mail man I know Fedex drivers that do a good job , they know they have a very high turnover around here and the drivers who are dependable have more commercial routes to keep those customers as shippers the USPS is the same way it has everything to do with who your post master and delivery person is my parents after almost 40 years in the same house and 60 in the same town within a few blocks got a new post master in town , he was just plain bad they were getting such bad delivery they opted for a box , if they checked their mail in the morning and a package came in in the afternoon the postmaster would send it back if they hadn't picked it up by 4pm truck left , he said if it says return postage guarantied then my numbers go and the USPS gets paid 2x they ended up going to a private post service , sounds expensive but it saved them money when they go south for the winter everything is going to the post service all the time , they pick it up in the summer and in the winter the service has a list of what they want forwarded and what to toss, if there is any question the lady texts a pick of it and they decide. that postmaster in their town moved should have been fired probably was promoted nd apparently things are OK again for their town.

GreenCountyPete nailed it.... comes down to your individual driver. Some care about the job they do, some dont give a rat's (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) its just a paycheck to them. I ship a lot with FedEx but I deliver to the closest FedEx pickup location and always ask for a receipt for all boxes I drop off. So far I can't complain.

slightly as a company , only by the force of the union , as much as unions can make a mess of things , Teamsters do help some at UPS my dad was a driver for UPS and I was just talking with my bank teller a former UPS driver for long enough to get vested in his pension we got a dog from a lady in Walworth county last year , she still remembered my dad and he hasn't worked for UPS since 1994 when he got injured on the job. it is 95% the driver 5% the company always has been probably always will be , true in nearly every case how you feel about the product or company has the most to do with the person who you work with , sales & service. now a company can build an environment where they hire great people , train them well , give them all the tools they need to be there for the customer. or they can make it near impossible to talk to anyone and when you do hot zero enough times and get someone , they are a phone answerer only and the company doesn't give a rip about them all they can do is type in a ticket and submit it to the never be seen again. companies can and do change this , by hiring good people , training them well and building a corporate culture where the customer facing employee is encouraged to help it does happen sometimes.

I do not have a problem with Fed Ex but the USPS is a world class POS!!! They do not care at all. funny my father in law retired from USPS dock tech and sorter , I can tell you there are people who care bad corporate culture , he was working for 3 different unions in the same week some times , there was literally a line on the floor he could push a cart to one day that he could only push it to that line the next day from the other direction. they may be further and farther apart my mail man is great , I know 3 postmasters that are great and a few counter people that are just genuinely helpful it is still your customer facing employee who makes or breaks how people view you USPS doesn't do a lot to encourage this , from what I can see is good people who live in the community they serve wanting to help the community
