[Rant] FedEx

mrjawapa · 2015-06-26 06:14:56

Why do all these big names use FedEx for shipping!? I have never had a good experience with them.

One of the biggest reasons I dislike FedEx is because they don't deliver on weekends. UPS delivers on Saturday, but not Sunday... which is fine! Most of packages magically fall on a Saturday anyway. But no one uses UPS. So if a deliver falls on Saturday, it gets pushed off until Monday. Not a big deal I guess, but still obnoxious.

Another reason I can't stand them, is they are terrible with handling packages. Every time I get a box, it looks like they kicked it all the way to my house. I've actually had a box show up that was ripped up and smashed. Luckily it wasn't anything breakable on the inside... because it would have been destroyed.

One of my experiences with FedEx was beyond ridiculous. I ordered a tablet from Amazon, and had standard shipping. I wasn't in a huge hurry for it, and the package was coming from a warehouse about 3 hours away, and it wouldn't take long to get here. FedEx only delivers packages on Friday that are "high-priority" and since I didn't put a massive urge on it, it wasn't touched. Weekend deliveries are unavailable, so it sat until Monday. Then the package got about half way here on a Monday, then was halted due to "severe weather." Checking the radar turned up a few scattered showers in that area. Okay, sure whatever. It sat there through out Tuesday, and Wednesday went back to warehouse. I call them to see what's up, and they said they didn't know where it was going, and had to get everything fixed. Sent out again Thursday afternoon, so it would have been delivered on a Friday... Again, no deliveries, so it wasn't delivered until Monday. And the box looked like it had been ran over. I could have drove to the FedEx building, got my package and went home in 1 day. Then would of had time to go out for a nice diner.

Recently, I ordered a Laptop online. The company goes through FedEx again, so I put a 2-day priority on it. I would have received the package on Friday. This time, it would have actually got here on Friday! But nooo... can't have things go smoothly. Acer messed up the address it was going to. So instead of going to 123 North, they had it going to North 123 (obviously fake house address). You know, that's a hard thing to fix. But I let it go, things get messed up, and maybe they truly couldn't figure it out (looked it up on Google and Bing, both of them knew what I was talking about). This package is about 16 hours away. So, 2 days shipping. Didn't get sent out until Friday afternoon. And guess what! It only made it about 3 miles... then stopped. Now it's somewhere in Texas where it will sit until Monday, then I might get it Wednesday. So the $45 I spent on 2-day shipping was worthless, and no refunds. I can't drive to Texas, as it's a 2-3 day drive and I don't have that kind of money... as I've sent it on priority shipping that was disregarded.

Ugh, I can't stand these people. Had it been through UPS, I would of had that package on Thursday! That's all for now. I'm sure by the time I get the package I'll have more to complain about.

big paragraph whats my answer hmm idk

Huh. Well, FedEx's in California do their job well. Not sure about where you live. I've never gotten a package in that sort of condition...
However, I think that UPS is significantly better. The delivery times are less delayed.
Sorry FedEx, I don't wanna hurt them

PS Don't hate me

Surfbro · 2015-06-26 08:01:01

I only use UPS and USPS. But dang, i really feel bad for you!

BuzzerBee · 2015-06-26 11:27:27

All the companies I have ever bought from ship via UPS or USPS.

Really?

Everything I get from Amazon is through FedEx, and apparently Acer ships with them too.

BuzzerBee · 2015-06-26 18:41:14

I don't think I've ever ordered from Amazon. Usually I order from a company's actual website.

I hope your laptop isn't crushed and destroyed by the time it gets to your house.
If it gets to your house.

If I order something from Amazon, it always comes via UPS. However, if I order something, wait for it to say "Shipped" then order something else an hour after it, the other package will come an hour before or after UPS via FedEx (i.e, UPS and FedEx come.)

mrjawapa · 2015-06-27 04:37:37

Omg, I thought the package got to Tennesse and was on it's way to Ohio... NOPE!

It sat in Tennesse for 7 hours. 7 Hours. Why...?

At 3PM it left Tennessee, and was on its way to Ohio. Sometime that afternoon stopped somewhere in Kentucky/South Ohio.

Anything other than a team of carrier pigeons is not worth using.

Omg, I'm about to call them, and tell them to leave at the fedex building and send it through UPS... I will gladly pay them for it...

mrjawapa · 2015-06-27 15:30:22

Wow... it's 30 minutes away, and they wont deliver it. And I don't have a way to get there, otherwise I would pick it up.

Now it sits just out of my reach for 2 days

You could always go the old fashion way and walk.

According to Google, that's a 24hr walk (there and back).

I use my own delivery system so my package only gets delivered to the best ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
