Fed Ex

-Package not due for delivery.- (This is in a town right outside my own, the package has been sitting there since yesterday afternoon).

HAHA, so they have it sitting in their facility, because I paid the minimal ground rate, untill they feel enouph time has passed to deliver it? GG fedex.

On another note, Im in the middle of illinois... my package went from INDIANAPOLIS IN .. to BERKELEY MO and then to MEMPHIS TN. GOD I should have went with UPS. I allways get packages from the fast.

Re: Fed Ex

Yep, FedEx understands the dynamics of supply and demand... I ordered some stuff from NewEgg and it was shipped from California. I had it sent ground. It went from California to Fort Worth, TX in one day, and then sat in Ft. Worth for 8 days (including New Years weekend) before it was delivered to me...

Re: Fed Ex

They do that to me all the time.
Plenty of times I've tracked a package till it was "on the truck for delivery", then watched the truck drive by my house. An hour later the tracking is updated to "not scheduled for delivery".
Those are days when I'm not a happy camper.

Re: Fed Ex

I like fedex better than ups anyday.... fedex is faster and cheaper to start, plus, they will deliver on sat with home delivery. they get here earlier in the day, (before 10:00 everytime...ups is after 12:00 99%) also, they seem to be more careful with shipments, tracking is a little better/ more accurate, they handle claims a LOT better.... I do hate the fact that BOTH ups and fedex hold packages (but sometimes, when I see a delivery date, I dont want it early, because I will schedule a day or a week around that delivery.......) speaking of deliveries, I got three to go out today.... you know who you are...... I wish there were a fedex/kinkos in my town......

Re: Fed Ex

FedEx is a nightmare. I ordered some stuff from newegg very recently, and as soon as I got my tracking numbers I checked up on where everything was. I found it hilarious how they only drove to my house 2 times, and never had gotten out of the vehicle, backed out of the driveway, then posted how I wasn't home so they couldn't deliver.
BTW, I know they only pulled in and backed out because there were no footprints in the snow showing anyone walking towards the house.
I give FedEx 2 thumbs down. UPS has never been so lazy or pathetic.

If Memphis TN is the center of the universe, you just blew my whole science education right down the tubes
