Fedex Sucks Donkey Balls

Rickochet

I have a small part ordered from Wayfair. It shipped quickly via Fuddex. It hit a few hiccups but was scheduled for delivery in a few days. The package was showing out for delivery but we got two notices that the package was not delivered because nobody was home. This is a $10 item with no signature required. Plus we are home everyday all day and have doorbell cams with proximity sensors. We have some construction on our street but we get deliveries from Amazon, UPS, USPS and Fedex daily with no issues. I try to contact Fuddex and am unable to contact them via chat or email. I try to call and they are only open Mon-Fri during biz hours. This is not a big deal but it really pisses one old geezer off since most every other company I deal with are easy to deal with to get an issue resolve. Fuddex sucks. Get off my grass. 😡

Rickochet Fedex is pretty good up here. You have a couple of shitty carriers.

One bad apple probably since we have had no other issues with other Fedex deliveries. The carriers can't park directly in front of our house at present they have to walk an extra 50'. One lazy ass I guess or can't figure out how to find our house. It just chaps my ass that I can't communicate with them.

Rickochet can't communicate with them.

feature, not a bug.
just as corporate intended.

Rickochet Son of a friend who works for USPS told us if they can't park in front of your house they are not required to stop and deliver mail/packages. They can stop if they so choose but they are not required to stop.

I asked the question because more than once I've received a tracking message that said a package was undeliverable because our front door was inaccessible .... ridiculous ..... it's a typical front door. I have since found out that "inaccessible front door" is USPS-speak for "can't park in front of your house".

Our FedEx, UPS and USPS drivers/service here are excellent. Sorry Rick!

Ours are normally super as well, particularly the last several weeks while our street has been dug up for sewer main replacement. I sit on the porch a lot and watch the construction. Many time I get delivery people park about 100' feet away on the adjacent street and walk the packages over including Fedex and I apologize for the walk but they laugh it off and it is no bit deal for them. The "unable to deliver" notifications just gore my ox and inability to contact them gives me red ass.

Today tracking showed it out for delivery for the third day. I was out mowing and I noticed Fedex coming up the street and stopped a few houses down on my side street (live on a corner). I ride down on the mower and ask him if he has a package for me and he said yes that was his next stop. I asked about the two previous can't delivery days and he said he didn't have a clue why since he has delivered to my house for years. He was nice and apologetic, Anywho package received.

Ordered from Swing Science Indy yesterday shipped FedEx Ground out for delivery today. I noticed during Covid it would take an extra day now it seems to be back to next day from Indy to Madison, WI.

I had a similar issue with FedEx. They claimed to attempt delivery but actually just pulled in my driveway and backed out. I was home at the time and caught him on camera. I know the manager of our local facility so I called him and told him what happened. 30 minutes later, the driver was back with my package (not my normal driver). Fast forward 2 weeks later and the same thing happened again. So, I called my buddy and next thing I knew, the driver was back with my package and he was pissed. This was the same guy as the previous time. He was yelling at me about losing his job because of me. I just told him it wasn't my fault he wasn't doing his job. Haven't seen that guy since.

You should try living in an area where google maps identifies your street address with the incorrect township name.
I get 3-4 fedex/ups calls a month asking to clarify the address. I have to make 5-10 more telling them I'll just pick up the package at a nearby drop point.

So, I ordered a Cobra LTDMax driver and had it shipped FedEx Ground. GolfEtail shipped it promptly but the next day its tracking status is "The barcode label on this package was unreadable. We will replace it and update the delivery date." It's been five days now. How long does it take to print new label.

I tried calling FedEx Customer "Service". After three tries I finally managed to talk to a person. She basically told me to contact the shipper. I'll give it another couple of days.

🤔Wish I had a 10er for every time I've got this message. Because...it has been EVERY time a FedEx shipment is coming my way. From any company. So contacting the shipper will do no good. They do not have the box, FedEx does. Doing as they damn well please with it.

This is what could have happened to me if I'd caved in to the enabling of my "friends"! Thank you Spartan! You took one for the team! 🙏😎😂

And they wonder why they are losing $4 Billion a quarter…Zero Customer Service…Where I live, Mars, Pa, the 1 square mile of the Boro has no mail delivery. Everyone has a PO Box, for free. All the older, long time Postal workers retired. The new ones follow rule that if no PO Box # on envelope/ package there is no delivery and sent back. Even if they know you and your box #…Most people here don’t use USPS for any package sending or delivery…

I think that excuse is used by USPS. Fedex and Amazon just because it is getting late in the afternoon and they want to get home so the keep they package until the next day.

Exactly!! I got a "failed delivery" status one time. Driver posted "attempted to deliver" at a date and time I was sitting on my front porch with Sophie. Lazy ass wanted to get off work and get a beer.

According to the FedEx website my package should be delivered by the end of the day. Apparently my package was making across the country but hadn't been scanned when it left California.

sdandrea1 I've seen them delivering after 7 p.m. in my area. Letters and packages.
