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.

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

What did you guys get

[natehate]

some american giant sweats with the boxing days sale

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.

[MikeC]

I'll agree with international, but for USA domestic, USPS is fine. But I get the Int'l gig, fer shure.

USPS has always been good to me, and I don't find their pricing crazy… There are far, fàr worse countries to deal with (*coughs FUCK CANADA coughs)…

[Megatron1505]

My only comment on shipping…......I fucking hate the Royal Mail 

[Giles]

Oh yeah.  Canada is worse than any civilised country I know and worse too than most uncivilised countries…..

[MikeC]

It seems like the more socialist feeling the country is, the harder it is to get shit thru customs.  We are asshole capitalists in America.

Imagine my confusion moving here.  When they told me $13 to ship a 7" within the country, I told them they were crazy.  It then proceeded to take 14 business days to get there.

I now wait until I have a trip home and mail all my shit from there.

What's more, when I ship to the US from CA, the package takes forever in CA, and then 1-2 days once in the USA.
