FED EX is the worst delivery service

post #1 of 31
Thread Starter 
i just got half my order, it wasn't even brought to me by the driver it was the friend of the fed ex driver. told me that driver couldn't find the other package. its still at the fed ex building. WTF but he could see if the driver could get it and meet me some where WTF well after that i checked the fed ex web site and its still there ok . they both came in at the same time so whats the deal and why the he@@ didnt the driver bing my packages and why did his "friend" bring only one. the friend said the he didn't want to bring them over the moutian because it was bad on the breaks and trans . WTF!!!
my father has the same problem its allways the friend of the driver bringing my dads orders. (same driver) So what did i do but call and complaind and told them every thing and even dad got in to it to. i called and put a tracer on my package sence it wasn't dilvered by 8:00. they said that the local manager at fed ex will try to call me monday to talk to me. i said make shure he does. So now ive only got my wireless card , soundblaster audgy 2 pcmcia card, and the free floppy dive lol and no 7700 prob until monday or tuesday. ok done ranting now

Mistakes happen. If this happens 2-3 times to you, i'll agree with you but not now.

That's not a mistake. That's pure, unadulterated, Grade-A bullsh*t is what that is. "A friend of the Fed-Ex driver"? WTF is that? I wish AW would use UPS or DHL.

Alienware uses DHL in the UK

Fed-Ex is horrible. UPS isn't much better, but I have had pretty good luck with them. The few times I have used them, DHL has been really great.

this was my first exp with fed ex. and prob will be my last. depending on what the fed ex local manager says. this has happend several times to my dad when something is sent to him thru fed ex. it was all ways a friend of the fed ex driver whom brought the packages. but heres the deal we live in the mountians and we have seen fed ex trucks come thru here. so we don't know whats the deal. and me and my father have had good dealings with ups and dhl . if some thing is suppose to be delivered that day it should be diliverd by that driver not a friend of that driver.

Fedex Roxors my Boxors

In my experience Fedex kicks UPS's and DHL's A$$... Fedex always gets here in 3-5 business days, i've never had any problems with them, even when I have to pick up my packages. Unlike UPS, when I go to pick up a package and they say they close at 9, UPS closed at 8:50, i've never had a problem like that with Fedex. DHL SUXORS the WORST... I ordered something that was delivered DHL and it took 1 1/2 weeks and it shipped from like New Jersey or something (I live in New York)... WTF???

I have also Had really good luck with FedEx. They have always been on time, as with my computer they did deliver when they said they would. It was a bummer it was sitting 40 miles away untill they put it on a truck. My company also uses them and for what they accomplish in overnight it seems pretty good to me. What happened to you is BS when a non-fedex employee delivers a package for any reason. Sorry about your problems. To bad they didn't deliver the computer first.

arg I just don't get why the guy gets a friend to do some of his work... it smells bad...

anyways I've imported a lot of stuff from about everywhere but most from the States with both UPS and FedEx and I like UPS better because they were everytime faster. And when one of my imports got lost, I had no hassle to get another one shipped to me with UPS.

anyways, I really hope that you're comp will come as it is supposed to.

I like Fed Ex, I use Newegg and their Fedex Saver Shipping. Its wonderful. Packages here in 3 business days. Never late. I've gotten about 5 packages in the last month. None late, I love Fedex. DHL at my parents work sucks, they've lost track of packages, and was delivering them to a NEIGHBOR and the person who was supposed to get them never got the packages.

small towns? Over the mountains... This Fed Ex guy might be lucky to have a friend willing to do these things rather than run a huge FedEx truck through bad Mountain road. Too bad that it just doesn't look right in todays society. You wouldn't catch me in the mountains when the roads are bad. And its the #1 reason for school closings where I live.

why is it that when someone has 1 bad expeirience they label an entire company bad?

i mean, i'm sure whenever you go to mcdonalds they mess up or your order or take too long, but you still go back dont you? and you cant tell me you have good luck with fast food resturants. fed ex is not a bad company, neither is UPS or DHL. i order stuff from amazon and newegg all the time i have yet to have 1 problem with either company.

another question, why is it that people bitch about things they have no choice over or have no control over? this is like how people bitch about how much microsoft sucks, windows sucks etc, but wouldnt dare buy a mac.

if you are so dead set against fed ex, then good luck trying to buy stuff online because half of the internet merchants use fedex.

EDIT 2: this post sucks...

That seems a little unbelievable that all your experiences and your dad, that a FRIEND of the fed-ex driver drops off the stuff... they need to scan and get signatures. And doesn't these friends have jobs of their own? Or do they just like to drive around town dropping off packages?

If you saw my thread Area 51 damaged and more you can believe I'm not a fan of FedEx HOME, The drivers are not FedEx employees, own their trucks and are responsible for maint/gas. They wear FedEx uniforms are told how to act and such but don't get benefits. How well is that going to work out - crap

thats it hardcore i asked this frien where he works and he told me a low rider custom shop. and thats it also i didn't sign any thing neather did my dad and the first package . the woman on the phone when i called told me it was dileverd at 4:30 and i told her it wasn't . she tripped and asked me did i sign any thing . i said no. i held for abit and the phone rang and it was the dilvery drivers friend and i had to meet him in town. when i met him in town i asked him where my other package . he told me they could not find it. o its believable and he tells me the the delivery driver could see if he could get my package and try to get it to me monday , which ground dilevery is closed on monday. and yes this has happend to my father i was out side washing my car and watched at blue civic pull up and ask for my father and i went and got him and the guy handed him his package , the guy left and i asked dad who that was he told me it was his fed ex package and the guy had told him that the driver told him to bring it to him for him. im sorry if u think this unbeliveable but these things has happend. but after what has happend i hope they get a different driver after they investigate this. maybe its just the driver

Hahahaha I am sorry that you have to deal with this but it is somewhat humerous. Why dont you start refusing packages from this "friend" character. Sooner or later the driver will have to come to your house and face you. Dont take anything else from the friend.
