It WORKS
-
Yeah delivery has become such a fucking shitshow. I shelled out the money for a PO Box, which seems like the only solution in the U.S., because in my experience FedEx and UPS are not functioning companies; they're scammers that take money from corporations to lose packages.
Guess who USPS new PMG comes from...

Yepp. I work in shipping, and if you’re not comfortable throwing the box as hard as you can at a wall, you shouldn’t be comfortable shipping it.
So anything more valuable or less impact resistant than a rubber duck should not be shipped? No computer parts, no art, no glassware or porcelain, no tools more complicated than a hammer, and even then the goons might break the handle?
What is the point of your profession? A pittance in, emissions and waste out?
-
Ohh, I see. That makes it more clear than saying it's part of the code
I guess its like one of those digilocks
where people always wrote the codes as "C1234" even though C is just a reset button that puts all the pins back into place so a code can be entered. It's easier to tell people its C1234 than saying it's 1234, but press C first.

Just wrap it in bubble wrap.

Generally trying to stay alive, pay rent, afford healthcare, maybe care for their family, for the employees. Blame the massive corporations trying to keep costs as low as possible but trying to have the least amount of drivers delivering the most amount of packages at the lowest pay possible.

Do you mean free shipping a la Amazon? Because I’ll be honest: I work shipping and Amazon delivery is probably one of the best delivery services available right now, as fucked as it is.
UPS is great
DHL is great
FedEx is the fucking handy man of Satan. Fuck them, everything they represent, and fuck their mothers. And their mother’s mother. Piece of shit useless ass scum bag company.
FedEx forged my signature. Very lucky that I got my shit, but the company paid extra for me to sign, FedEx called and verified I’d have to be home, they didn’t show up the right day, and the next day randomly showed up and left the item after “I” signed. It wasn’t even someone else in the house that signed. Just a blatantly forged sig by the delivery man.
-
Not every package is signature required, in fact, few are. you don't know this one is. I am going to assume OP is competent enough to not be complaining about such a package.
The only "signature required" packages I've ever had defaulted to USPS rather than a contracted private service.
If it doesn't require a signature then why wouldn't they just leave it?

Sounds like they can't get into the building/ gated community because they can't figure out how to use the numpad.

I find it absolutely adorable when people who have never experienced Purolator - they claim to be a package company - complain about any package shipping issue.
- You want invisible buildings? Purolator can't see 35-storey buildings rising high above a sea of bungalows next to a massive landmark.
- You want customized delivery? If your building has a blue box system FUCK YOU they're gonna need a signature today and you're gonna have to beat them to the truck to give it.
- you want careful handling? I think they use packages as ramps to get out of the snow or over speed bumps
- you want friendly service? They're just pissed you burst out of the bushes to beat them back to the truck
- safe pick-up of the package they can't seem to deliver? Get out near the airport where it'll probably be out in the ditch, but be there during the convenient hours of 2 and 4, week-days, and you can fight the thieves for your stuff.
i just don't know what keeps these guys in business.

Fedex sucks in general. This box contains 7000 bucks worth of laser cutter/ Box has been handled so harshly that its starting to come open. Not to mention they ignored the this side up part.

If they're leaving a door tag, it means a signature is required. There's three flavors of signature: you specifically, someone 21 or older at the same address, or anyone with a pulse standing near your door.
Making two trips to deliver a package means they made no money on that delivery.

Nah, Amazon delivers to the wrong address like 30% of the time. Very far from what I consider acceptable. No amount of reporting and "placing a pin on a map" fix the issue. Good thing my neighborhood isn't full of thiefs (that I'm aware of).
I don't use UPS or Fedex as much as Amazon, but for the times my packages did went through them, they never delivered to the wrong address.

Not always the case. I've had these assholes come up to the door to my building, leave the tag without trying the doorbell then running off before I could run down the stairs.

Just today, FedEx said they delivered my two packages from eBay. I looked at the confirmation picture and it’s not even my house! Turns out, they delivered it two doors down to the wrong house. Fortunately, I have an honest neighbor and she brought them to me.
This isn’t the first time this has happened.

Purolator is a bastard company
I always freak out when I realize my online order defaulted to Purolator from the shipper's end. I'd literally send more money so it can be anything else.Not shilling for FedEx but FedEx has come to my house rang my doorbell and stood there for 1 min and I've never seen any other company do this.

It's a self own on FedEx tbh. The drivers leave without really trying because they have to in order to keep their schedule and FedEx loses profit margin because their drivers have a bunch of fake stops on their route.

Up until about 6 months ago or so, in my area FedEx was the best of the delivery services in my area by far. Granted, I know that whichever service is best tends to vary from region to region. But, whenever I saw that my package was getting delivered via FedEx, I was generally glad to know it.
In my area, UPS is the shady shit-show that would totally pull some bullshit like this. UPS will open my mailbox and put packages in there (which is illegal in the USA). UPS will claim my package is delivered and then 3 days later, USPS delivers it. They have some kind of agreement with USPS to deliver the last mile, but UPS tracking literally shows the packages as delivered the moment they turn it over to the USPS. UPS will furiously beep the horn outside my bedroom window until I go to the front door to see what's going on, and then have ME dig through their truck to find my own package. Anyway, I'm ranting now, as is the custom for men my age and in my condition.
USPS is just a whole other paradigm of unfathomably terrible shit show. Okay, I'll stop. I have a problem.
Point is, FedEx used to be the best of shitty lot, so I wonder why they've suddenly and drastically gotten so bad as of late.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I've only heard of Purolator as an automotive filter brand, of which is about the same basic and minimally-achieved OEM specs as FRAM. I guess I should just avoid anything with that name altogether.

FedEx is so bad that if they're the only shipping option for an online order, I go and find a different vendor.
