FedEx Oak park location.....

Since we're talking about logistic-company gripes....

In Feb, UPS decided instead of backing down my driveway or turning around (drive is gravel, ~300' long, side entry garage), the driver opted to just blow into my backyard and bust a U-turn around my well head. Left some nice ruts in the yard.

Last year, after I had just put grass seed down in my mudpit (new construction), Prime's driver decided to leave the driveway and drive over my septic field in an attempt to pull up to my front door. There's no circle drive or anything, just blatantly drove off the driveway. Homeboy apparently got stuck in the mud so he reversed, tried again, gave up and reversed back into the drive, delivered the package by the garage door, and drove off without saying a word. I saw him leaving the driveway from the window, went out to get the item, and noticed the ruts in the yard.

USPS is just a bunch of turds - we've complained about our carrier and was told "oh, she's the best one we have!". Consistently delivers us the neighbor's mail, so who knows how many of our letters are misdelivered. Wouldn't drive up the driveway as it had 1" of snow on it - despite UPS and FedEx both delivering that day, she couldn't due to "unsafe conditions".

So, I am admittedly a little biased towards liking FedEx currently, until they pull a bonehead move to knock them down to the level of the other assholes. ;)
 
Don't get me started on mailmen from Detroit. Down in Grosse Pointe (we have a Detroit mail station) one year my mailman put an unstamped envelope with a Christmas card in it from him, and the envelope also contained a stamped envelope to his home address in Detroit. On the 24th of that same year, I had a guaranteed delivery for Christmas from Target due, so I asked him if the envelope was his, he said yes, then I asked him where my package was which got to the station a week earlier, and he said he would check into it. Never heard from again.

I filed a complaint with the Detroit postmaster basically asking how my carrier had time to deliver unstamped Christmas cards when my package didn't arrive until the 27th. Never heard back from him either, but at least I never got one of those cards again.

Bring the ban-hammer....

Lake Orion pulls through again. Both packages delivered without incident, maybe 16 hours from time of shipment in OH to my door in northern Macomb county (almost Lapeer county).

ill say it once and say it twice. FUCK fed ex. never have i ever had more issues with a shipping company than with them. UPS FTW
 
Well, I spoke too soon...

My wife was mumbling about some bullshit she ordered not showing up that caught my attention. She said it shows it's in Oak Park..... Lol I broke the news that it's gonna be late
 
FedEx’s struggles are certainly not limited to Royal Oak.
My phone eventually arrived (last Thursday).
After all that fuss about being stuck at home waiting for it the driver knocked on my front door, placed the box on my porch, and left.
 
Motion Raceworks mad it on time to my house yesterday with Fed Ex out of Lake Orion. Toysssss. :)
 
My torque converter and headers were stuck there for over 2 weeks. Got delivered but the site still says waiting for shipping date
 
My bro in-law from Canada just ordered everything for a Big Block 460 build from Jegs except for the block pretty much - shipped to my house of course.... It all came except for the rotating assembly, which got stuck in Oak Park.Told him it could be weeks. Box probably weighs 100 lbs, too, they won't be lining up to deliver that any time soon!

I have pretty much received everything. They have contractors showing up in rental trucks and orange vests dropping off gun orders in the thousands. Makes me nervous.

I think all FedEx ground local delivery trucks and people are subcontractors (including the logos trucks).

They are. Now they have the “B Squad” out delivering packages in rented trucks and no uniforms. Packages just thrown into a box truck with no shelving.
 
As bad as FedEx is at least they don't open my mail like the garbage USPS. Fuck em' all. All my important documents with PII have been opened within the last year, different carriers... Bday cards with cash missing, IRS docs/W2s and the postmaster says "it's from the automated sorting machine... Never the junk mail tho.

I just got a letter in the mail with the corner conveniently torn (exactly enough) to see the PII, luckily there wasn't any, but again that's the postal service hard at work.
