RANT - Fedex home delivery

[white_4gGT]

Geez.

I missed the guy by 10 min. so I see this door tag. I called the Fedex 800 number and they said there is no way to get a hold of the delivery person since it's a subcontract service. WTF!

Why can't you get a hold of them to tell them that you can pick it up somewhere? or they can try again today?

Give me a UPS shipment anyday compared to this sorry excuse of a shipping company FEDEX.

Just wanted to rant since I took the day off so I can wait for the delivery and install it on the car. arrrgh!

The joys of outsourcing.

I'm glad I have an office to take my deliveries. One FedEx package arrived yesterday and I should have another on Friday :) I do prefer UPS though, signature-required stuff is stupid unless its a very high-dollar item.

I got the FedEx delivery man's number. ;). He had to call me when he went to drop off my TRE trans. He must be a juicer.

UPS man knows where I work so I get the stuff I have to sign for dropped off at work. Nothing better than having an FP turbo sitting on your desk at work. (we only have 2 delivery men for UPS that come to this small town, so they're easy to find.)

And UPS gets better delivery personnel.

I have everything delivered to work. The person in receiving calls or emails me, or even delivers it right to my desk. For companies that don't allow shipping to addresses other than the billing address, they can eat a big one.

*insert package joke here*

MmMmmMmmm

I think leaving your phone number in any of the Comments box or Contact Details box on your order form would be a good idea, so that if stuff like this happens they can call you.

I get all my stuff delivered to my office, end of story. Otherwise this sh*t happens all the time. Unbelievable how annoying it can be.

I ship a lot of stuff with fedex but just because I get 80% 2nd day air from them.

I cant stand my ups driver he just drops the stuff off at the front door or in the garage if it is open and never gets a sig for the boxes.
