I don't know how it is other places, but for me, the "deliver with no issues" rate for FedEx Ground service is maybe 65%. I've had packages misrouted, packages that sit for as much as 48 hours in a distribution center somewhere along the way, and packages that the route driver "delivers" somewhere else.
The last is the worst, because then I have to contact FedEx to have them contact the driver to figure out whose front door he left it by. FedEx initiates the contact with the driver (who is not a FedEx employee, but an independent contractor), but he has 2 days (?) to respond. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) To those of you who are vendors and ship via FedEx Ground, why? Are they that much cheaper than UPS? Trust me, I would pay a couple bucks extra to not have to deal with FedEx Ground. OK, rant over... |

Have you received any packages from DHL lately?
I haven't! Well, I mean I was supposed to, I have the tracking numbers, but they never show up and the local branch has yet to answer their phones. I have had a couple damaged packages from UPS but they seem to get here more often than not |
