So, FedEx problems ?

Wasn't someone saying they had problems with FedEx deliveries to their customers ?

https://www.yahoo.com/news/fedex-driver-questioned-hundreds-packages-211957769.html

I ordered some valves from Mancini and they sent them 2day FedEx and they are more than a week late and no information from FedEx on where they are or when I can expect them.

I have had THE OPPOSITE EXPERIENCE with Fedex....

Two recents ... super heavy items ... portable scaffolding and heavy duty car skates ....

Almost rocket ship delivery... all considered

How does it track ?

Do you have a tracking number?

I use FedEx all the time at work and have never had an issue. UPS on the other hand............

Doug Cook the owner of Motion raceworks posted about this on Facebook the other day. In one of the pictures he spotted a Motion Raceworks Package lol.

Did I mention I hate FedEx?

I kicked FedEx out of our business.

The most unresponsive company I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with.

We ship anywhere from 5 to 15 packages a day and UPS does a great job for us. Yes, there is the occasional issue but very minimal.

Let me guess. The employee will simply be fired for his actions. He/she already hates their job and did this out of spite to show that hatred. Firing them is not enough. Should be at least some civil charges. If this news were posted on a public form like Face Book Informed a lot of people would chime in praising this persons actions proclaiming the act is justified because Fed Ex doesn't pay well.

If this was posted on Facebook/public forums, there would be those that would offer up their safe space, coloring books or emotional support animals for the poor overburdened FedEx slacky....


The FedEx doof should have court ordered Community Service to personally deliver those packages to their recipients IN PERSON and apologize to each one for what an azzhat he is for his actions ....

Couldn't have said this better myself lol. I don't do fb either

I do use it. So do two BILLION other people worldwide. But I don't belong to many groups, and none that would have whining about microaggressions, triggers and any of the other PC crap. I use it for its original purpose, to keep in touch with a few friends.

I agree with the community service suggestion and personal delivery Firing isn't enough, true, but putting him in jail only means that our taxes pay him to sit on his rear end.

11/12/2021 11:06 am Shipment information sent to FedEx

2Day delivery me @$$. It's been two weeks.

I ordered a pair of 100 lb dumbbells. Tracking showed they were both (2 box shipment) scanned and put on the FedEx truck at origin. FedEx "lost" one in transit. How do you lose a 100 lb box????

So, this is the info for the tracking number? I don't know what to tell you, so far I haven't had a problem (watch, now all hell is gonna break loose..... )

Fed Ex has been bad for a long time. Nothing new. If I ship anything I stay away from them if I can.

I ordered some leaf springs from calvert racing a few years ago. They were shipped in a box with a shipping label on it, they were smart though and put a shipping label on the springs also. That way when the springs get beat out of the box that they could still be scanned and make it to the destination. It worked, the springs were about 40% beaten from the box when I got them but they made it on time.

My Fedex stuff is pretty minor, packages going to wrong address, sometimes tracked as delivered, etc. One night got home form work and package at the door.

Problem was, not my package. Not my town. Nothing on the label remotely like me or my address.

Address was next small town over, box was some mail order food/fruit place, so I goggled the name, got a number and called. Then I delivered the pkg.

Unrelated, but did you know when you look someone up like that, you learn who lives there, what the property is worth, and HOW MUCH THEY EARN!

To verify if the proposed victim is worth robbing, just goggle them. Nice

These days, do not pay any extra to receive your stuff faster, you are just wasting your money. Sometimes I wonder if the shipping companies don't loose the stuff that is suppose to be shipped next day simply because then can't get it there on time. If it gets "lost" they have an out of any possible refunds.

Packages and mail getting dumped in the weeds ?

I remember in Michigan quite a while ago ... a long term USPS carrier had almost a BASEMENT FULL of undelivered mail ... some as long as 4 years previous...

We too only use UPS. Yep they are rough on packages. Luckily most of our products are nearly unbreakable. We ship 150-200 packages a day. UPS loses about 3 a year. THREE. Thats incredible as far as I'm concerned. USPS used to lose about ONE PERCENT. Those &^*(&(& have cost me tens of thousands. I rarely ship postal and dont even offer it as an option this time of year. FedEx, I don't even use. Wife and I WERE getting Hello Fresh meals (the prepackaged, you cook it, home delivery meals). FedEX would deliver up to a week late. The meat and ingrediants were bad. They would ship the replacements via UPS and they would arrive on time I stopped their service twice because of this. The 2nd time I said if they can't ship UPS every time I cant be a customer.

FedEx drivers are all sub contractors. FedEx contracts areas out to private companies and those companies have employees that deliver the packages - kinda like Amazon. Now I don't know how much these FedEX drivers make BUT UPS was on strike last year and I think the top driver pay is now FORTY FIVE DOLLARS AN HOURS. HELL, I didn't make that as an engineer and I invented stuff and traveled across the country at 2AM to repair the impossible and program robots!!! The UPS drivers know they will never, ever be able to get another job that pays like that so they take some interest in the deliveries.

I'm not saying FedEx drivers/employees are bad its just the ONE regular (over 2 years) interation I have had with FedEx was bad. I also ordered a bed cover for my new truck from a company 30-40 miles away. The company shipped the very next day via FedEx. Took 2 weeks!

We have free shipping wotg Sam's Club and they use fed ex. They get stuff here asap in 2 to 3 days sometimes 1 day. Depends on when Sam's gives it to them.
We no longer bring home TP paper towels cans, etc
They drop it at my front door Fed Ex and never a problem. And lots of items are sent here from them.
We get every thing shipped free and just get the perishables at the store.
Makes for a quick easy trip.

My point is its not just FB snowflakes that despise working and the concept of work- its a vast majority of the US population. The worker shortage is partially a result of people hating work. They have a way to make their ends meet with no work or minimal work assignments now and then. They are engrained that the business owner is an enemy-a cheap skate that can pay alot more. In Holland MI there's tons of factories starting at $16 for entry level labor. No takers. Those that do show up go out of their way to do a bad job- then they leave. They hate working and show it by being a lousy worker and dumping their Fed Ex deliveries in a ravine.

Let's face it. Most of us would not work a traditional job if we didn't have to pay the bills. That's why it's called work and not a hobby.

In the old days people who would not work starved to death.

Now that there are enough safety nets where people's basic needs are already met, some people will just decide to stay home.

How does a country function/survive if no one has any incentive to be productive and contribute?

Aren't there countries like that? I wont name them. Might make me look like a bad guy.

And in reference to 2boltmains comments, I was at a body shop supply place the other day. We were comparing notes about the crazy stuff that is hard to get and why. He said those plastic seat covers and floor protectors body shops use, they get from Petosky Plastics. He said they are paying CASH, DAILY, and still can't get enough workers. (Petosky is in a fairly rural norther Michigan area hundreds of miles from Detroit - lucky them)

PS I've said this often. I love when people say they got some socks from their grandma and they can right on time. Ship 30,000 things a year, all across the country, and it will paint a VERY DIFFERENT picture of what is and isn't working.

UPS - .01% problems (3 out of 30,000), FedEx - I'm not even gonna see how bad they are. They've already proven it to me with my Hello Fresh meal deliveries. USPS - 1% problems (300 out of 30,000)

Funny: if the FED lost (i.e. can't account for) .01 or 1% of some spending situations; they would praise themselves for a good job.
