Screw You FedEx and USPS

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Screw You FedEx and USPS

Not only did they sit with the package up their ass for more than a week(Shipped on the 2nd from Commiefornia, arrived in Virginia 12/13

) but when it finally makes it in town, it can't delivered it because of a "Incorrect address"

which is total bullshit because I had 3 other packages from Newegg shipped to the same address over the past 3 weeks as this one and they arrived without problems.

Was that a "smartpost" shipment?

Yeah, don't do that. FedEx picks the package up from the shipper and hands it over to USPS for delivery. I've had nothing but bad luck getting shit that's been shipped like that.

And I work for fedex.

UPS, Fedex, USPS, I've had my major issues with all of them screwing me over.

I ordered a tube roller from Harbor Freight the other week. It said it shipped on 12/2 FedEx, projected a delivery of 12/7, and showed in transit. On 12/7 I looked again, and FedEx had delays from the weather, and the tracking information had changed to "info received" on 12/2 and nothing has happened since. Same today.

What the fuck. I'm trying to build my wife a water cooled wort chiller for Christmas so she can make me some more god damned beer here. This shit is important.

Of Fedex, UPS, and USPS, I have found that the USPS has the slowest delivery speed and the poorest & slowest to update tracking system.

Did you really have to start one of these threads?

I've got a new damned AKM on the way from Washington state that I'm hoping will be here at least by next Thursday.

Now you and your negative waves are probably going to fuck it up.

I just got off the phone with Newegg, they'll ship out my next order with a free upgrade to overnight shipping but they no longer have the video card I ordered in stock. Now I need to spend another $50 so I can finish this computer that was supposed to be given as a gift next week. Then I have to wait and hope Newegg gets the original order back so they can issue a refund.

Fucking great.

Yep....It would better if it was shipped either FedEx or USPS, but one handing off to another is a disaster.

Had this exact thing happen to me last week

I'm in Afghanistan.....and my girlfriend had to make 10 phone calls to them to convince them that my address actually existed.

FedEx couldn't find it's own ass with a GPS.

Stop buying shit from a enemy state.

Next time don't chimp on shipping... getting the PO involved is never a good idea.

Same goes with UPS & their SmartPost.

I ordered a Christmas present for the wife to be shipped via UPS, and when I checked on it - it's still sitting in Illinois after more than a week. They cite "previous bad weather" for the delay.

Oh, and we had an ice storm here in North TX last week. No mail delivered for 2 days. WTF happened to "Neither rain nor snow nor dark of night ..." ?

I have no issues with the Post Office, in 15 years of selling on the net. Not one lost or damaged package.

The lion share of my problems in shipping come from when FedEx is involved, to a lesser extent UPS.

FedEx alone has cost me a hefty sum in the past.

APO/FPO address?

If so that's why. USPS is the only option.

Seems USPS unfucked themselves because they just delivered the package to the address on the shipping label.

The same address that was flagged as incorrect incorrectly.

If they are pulling this shit to avoid breaking delivery SLAs this is pure fucking fraud.
