      I cannot impress upon you all how much I loathe FedEx. I feel like they go out of their way to mess things up.

        It is usually a driver who has too many packages or doesn't care, both cases are an issue with the company itself.

            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.

              I’ve lived in several different areas of my city, and even moved to a different county and lived in three different places in the new county. Unless I have beat the odds and gotten the same driver each time I’ve been unlucky to use fedex (usually not by choice), I’d lean more toward it’s a company problem and the drivers are merely a symptom (or victim).

              Anecdotally, I’ve never heard horror stories about FedEx like I’ve heard about Amazon, and yet Amazon still does a decent job with deliveries; not perfect, but orders of magnitude better than FedEx. That tells me how much worse it must be to work at FedEx.

                Yep know a guy at FedEx and they leave those notes when the package never made it to the truck but they have a contract to deliver in a certain time frame. So they put the blame on the customer as a strategy of cooking the metrics.

                  I have a moron who works in my area, morning post. They, not even the company they work for, just them, have the shittiest track record for delivering parcels. They literally will not deliver unless it's small enough that they can damage my mailbox door, bending it open to put the parcel in. They refuse to deliver parcels, and yet the company still gives them parcels to deliver.

                  Every other company has a success rate of 95%+. Not this one. Thanks to a maximum of three delinquents in their employ. Last time I tallied up their success rate was 50%.

                    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.

                      More times than not they have faked deliveries for me. Sit beside door all day, no knock, no ring, nothing. Then look outside and there's a we missed you slip

                        My fed ex people like to put my big/heavy packages right in front of my glass door that very obviously opens out and not in, which blocks my ability to open the door. 😡

                          Used to deliver for Amazon. Fragile, handle with care, this side up, lay flat, team lift, don't stack, all those mean nothing to the warehouse workers or most of the drivers. It's so chaotic in there and nobody has time to treat packages carefully.

                            Eh that’s not specific to fedex. Mostly seems to be regional; all the carriers do that shit somewhere

                              i was reading about shipping fragile things by USPS…
                              every forum i found, of people that ship antiques and such, is that marking it “fragile” guarantees that it will get destroyed in transit.
                              i’ve only tried it once… we packed the thing super nice, and it was completely destroyed…. in was impossible to do on accident… even if they had treated it like a regular package, it would’ve been destroyed.
                              but, treat employees like shit, pay them shit, and they’re going to be malicious….

                                I've never thought about that as being a vulnerability of storm doors. I guess you'd better leave it propped open on days when you're expecting a package.

                                (If it's not a storm door — i.e. if it doesn't have another door behind it — IMO whoever installed it fucked up.)

                                    Obviously screw FedEx, but why the hell is the # symbol part of the door code? It's just asking for this to happen.

                                      It's amazing the difference a union makes for customer satisfaction isn't it?

                                      Note: USPS & UPS are both unionized.

                                        You can just let the free market solve this problem for you. It doesn't happen often, but it's actually true here.

                                        It's super fucking easy too: place the burden of delivery on the seller/shipper, and presto, suddenly paying a little more for non-shit delivery becomes worth it. Or they keep trying till they get it right.

                                          So you're telling me the company that doesn't have unions fails to deliver?
