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

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.

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

[natehate]

[natehate]

[Guest]

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.

[Seul]

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
