FedEx is so funny. UPS, Amazon, and even the Very Inefficient USPS all effortlessly track and help me plan for deliveries but FedEx is still using a crone in a smoke-filled hut, smearing virgin blood in a bowl and casting bones to determine a day and time my package may arrive. - ThreadSky

I loathe FedEx and I’ve never had a smooth delivery with them. Never.

And then missing it by two days plus the holiday plus snow in Texas and weather in Montana.

Like I get y’all are headquartered in the Bible Belt but as a delivery company I question the efficacy of adopting the “None Shall Know the Hour” business model.

Fedex also brags about being a free market solution to package delivery, as most of their drivers are independent contractors. "They care more because they own their own business!" BS. They don't care because they can't be fired if they meet a minimum standard, they will own that route forever.

At the same time many drivers buy multiple routes and hire temps to cover the overflow. These are often people who barely qualify for drivers licenses and can't read a map. route owners end up covering all of the screw ups and burnout is a real problem. There is massive turnover of all drivers.

Mariners-ass delivery service

NO MOVES!

I know my UPS (union) driver by name. He's been on this route for 17 years. Same with my mail lady, sweet woman. Different Fedex driver everyday. I'm a bit surprised that Amazon is so efficient, but they have a far superior logistical system.

Once Amazon learns how to get their drivers to subsist solely on their own piss they will have truly mastered the market

And then you need to add at least two days on top of whatever they say.

They need a better crone and/or more virgins!

Well the church did away with all the good crones years ago…

I avoid FedEx like the plague for this exact reason lol. And they’re almost as pricey as UPS sometimes!!!

FedEx has never left the stone age.

Our Fed Ex driver at work never slows below 30 mph and tosses extremely heavy items from the truck at our door.

I am amazed at his ability to drive, steer, and toss 4 x 1 gallon paint cans (in one heavy assed box) at our door like it's a hand grenade.

Haha. This made me laugh.

I stayed home yesterday for a FedEx delivery that swore it was being delivered, until 7pm when it said “whoops, tomorrow!”

jordanarnold.me•53 days ago

Just got my 2nd "whoops, tomorrow!" email smh

They are such shitheads

30acrefortress.bsky.social•53 days ago

sounds like you all are FedUp

scottydo16.bsky.social•53 days ago

I'm going to hurt you

beejertron5000.bsky.social•53 days ago

Did you mean to tell him to “shut UPS”

mattjohnson.bsky.social•53 days ago

This just happened with me and UPS. Didn’t stay home for it, but still two days in a row of the delivery date being wrong.

nwcodad.bsky.social•53 days ago

And god help you if you're not there for a signature required delivery. You'll be seeing that package in 3-5 weeks if you're willing to make 24 phone calls.
