Detest FedEx and UPS

[debidoo]

I absolutely cringe when I am expecting a package from either FedEx or UPS. Especially like today when it is a signature required package.  Sometimes they don't even ring the doorbell they just drop the package and run.  If a signature is required they ring the doorbell and immediately take off to their truck like people are just sitting at their front door all day.  If I never had to receive a package via them again I would be the happiest person in the world. I am disabled and it takes me a few minutes to make it to the front door I made 6 calls yesterday about the cell phone coming for my son today to see if they could call me and let me know they are here so I can make it to the front door well we'll see what happens.  Anyone else have trouble with these delivery services?

No.  Don't have that problem but I do run out when I'm expecting a package because one time they took the package to my neighbor next door instead of me and I asked them if that was mine because I was expecting a package and they said "No." So I asked them if the address for that package was  such and such and they said "oh yes" we thought that address was to the other house.  So, I always run out now to make sure I get my package.

Both companies hire bone heads...have to watch for my packages....they either just throw them on the stairs or throw them on the downstair neighbors porch....lazy a r s e s....

I have the greatest UPS guys.   I get a lot of packages via UPS.  The room I am normally in for the majority of the day is a front room and i can see the truck pulling up.  I tend to walk outside and meet them halfway down my driveway to save them a few steps.   If the package is big they always insist on carrying it to the door for me.   They always ask me how my day is going, etc.    Fed Ex is a completely different story.   More than once they have left my packages at a neighbors house.   Fortunately I have honest neighbors that always bring my package to me.   I wish everyone had UPS drivers that like mine.

I ordered a package from an online store and when it never arrived I called the company.  That is when I was informed that Fed Ex apparently lost the package in their system.  They gave me a refund but when I went to order the item again they were out of  stock.

I prefer the good old fashion United States Postal Service.  They have always delivered with reliable service.

For the most part, we do not have a problem.  However, there are the exceptions.  My husband and I own a home based business and therefore, we have deliveries coming in most days. 

The drivers usually run the same route and they know us so we typically get very good service. 

By the way, did you know that a few years ago FedEx and UPS were going to merge?  They were going to call themselves Fed Up!      

Actually, it sounds like some customers are just that - Fed Up.

Can't say I've ever had a problem with either... (Knock on wood). Granted I usually don't get but around 5-6 packages through either of them in a year.

Never had a problem with either...and they're faster than snail mail.

We get many packages from Walmart and Locarb for my husband. And amazon. Never had a problem worry about packages being stolen seems to be  happen9ng more.

I've never had a problem with those two, but Amazon and USPS are usually terrible. Although one time I was expecting a package from Amazon and it was after my apartment office was closed. When the delivery guy buzzed me, I buzzed him in, thinking he would leave my package in the lobby. But he came up to the second floor and delivered it right to my door. Totally didn't expect that. I wish I would've thought to tip him.

I have had that problem. Not just with Fedex or UPS but more so with the USPS. I have been complaining to the PO and things have been better, but the issues still happen.

They usually deliver the packages to our door whether it's ours or are neighbor, instead of walking a extra 20 feet. I don't think of it as a problem more like laziness. We have had a couple problems though with them leaving it at houses down the road or the mailboxes at the end of the road; instead of coming up the driveway and up the hill.

[mgint]

like ups never had any delivery problems dont use fed ex very much.

OMG my brother has yelled at them many times. He lives on the 2nd floor and so when they ring the bell by the time he gets down there they are half way in the truck. He said damn give me time to get down the stairs...so annoying

I've had FedEx to deliver me a package and had to sign for it, the guy was very polite and had a nice smile, so I didn't have any bad experience.
