That's because half of those guys are "independent contractors"

FedEx Home Delivery, I've had those guys deliver wearing a wife beater before

@nerkg:

Some guys won't even try, just say they tried. Call fed ex and raise hell, they can make the driver bring it back

Called them immediately and raised fucking hell. They said the home base where the trucks go was closed and that was the only way to reach the driver.

He definitely did not even try.

It just makes no sense.

I had a similar issue a couple weeks ago. The nice lady as CS explained to me that they get "seasonal employees" this time of the year and they're not as good

Got something through FedEx home delivery a while back and it was brought to me by a dude driving an ordinary pickup truck, wearing ankle length "shorts" and a football jersey.  I thought it was odd, but it makes sense now; obviously one of those independent contractors.

Ups don't do you like that

[urbanwoodsman]

If I had the option to pick anything else I would have. I have another package coming Wednesday through Fedex as well.

Looks like I might need to set up a chair on the sidewalk all fucking day Monday and Wednesday.

Set up pickup

@nerkg:

Set up pickup

It's "FedEx Home Delivery," and I don't see the option for it.

My Wednesday package has options for holding at a Fedex shipping place about a 45min commute away, though.

First paragraph. Exact opposite of your experience

Yeah that is not the experience I had.
Also, when I was on the phone the CS lady said that "Home Delivery" service is not usually done on Mondays but since it's the holiday season they ship on Mondays.

Who the fuck doesn't ship on Mondays? Such a lame ass company.

Shane getting heated…

[DougNg]

UPS has always been good to me. In fact, I order from Amazon so much that my UPS driver and I have become friends

The absolute worst is Lasership. Avoid at all costs

[bagley920]

Told ya Home Delivery was the worst. Has nothing to do with seasonal anything

[natehate]

is this our order shane?

[urbanwoodsman]

@natehate:

is this our order shane?

Yeah man. Should be here Monday.

[natehate]

those bastards
let me know what i owe you to ship it up here. probably go regular mail

[Guest]

What did you guys get

[natehate]

some american giant sweats with the boxing days sale
been after some crew neck action for a while and the sale plus free shipping pushed it over the edge

[MikeC]

FedEx and UPS both can eat a dick. USPS is the best. I've NEVER had an issue, however it can be pricey sometimes. Now, let the berating begin…..

[Giles]

No berate, but is a personal thing.  I find UPS to be far superior in sending/tracking/just about everything to EMS, which in US is handled by USPS.  And believe me, I probably have more experience of shipping stuff internationally than virtually anyone I know.
