FED EX HOME DELIVERY SERVICE STINKS/Sux/Bytes

Yea so I ordered two toys from Sweetwater early last week. expecting them for the weekend so I could play
 
OK so bad weather in Memphis screwed up their hub, postponing it a day
 
we closed at work  thursday afternoon and friday so my sales engineer requested a reroute to my house.Fed ex web site stated delivery friday, then saturday, now its tuesday. Home delivery doesnt run on saturday? nor monday, now I am at work tuesday and have to wait till I return home
 
I HATE FED EX
I HATE FED EX
I HATE FED EX
 
I also am cancelling my Sweetwater card in protest, plus it will one less G.A.S. monkey on my back

Hell, the USPS offers 1000 times better delivery service!!!

I agree.  I have a strong preference for UPS
 

 
 

Thank you Bob! Thank you very very very much!
 

Hehe Bill!  Good thing I didn't post the third picture (a TOS violation I'm sure!).

I have to agree. Lately they have been getting worse, too. It took a week to get something shipped FedEx and they held the damn thing for a day and a half in Indiana for some unknown reason. Meanwhile I got multiple packages from UPS ordered and delivered.
 
I hate FedEx. At least Sweetwater gives you the option to pick either or.

And I think if I ever use Sweetwater again I will choose UPS, fed ex USED to be good heck i would take USPS they really have moved up their game
 

Honestly Fedex/UPS/USPS are all equally good here.  The only thing I don't like about USPS is that I use a PO Box instead of home delivery, so they don't bring stuff to me.  I have to go to town to pick up stuff shipped USPS.

Used to be UPS would gorilla your packages and fed ex was kid gloves, but ups got their stuff together, my problem is the fed ex home delivery which is contract and very independent
 
I am lucky i purchased a PO box here at the university so I can go rite to the building and pick up
 
USPS has gotten really good with time frames and windows
 
 

My own experience here locally has been that Fed Ex is far more reliable than UPS.
 
I have a gate across my driveway. If I don't leave it open on the day I'm expecting a delivery, the Fed Ex guy gets out of the truck and opens it. And closes it on his way out. The UPS drivers, on the other hand will either leave a "sorry we missed you" sticker or toss the package over the gate.
 
I found a $1k microphone I'd ordered, lying on the ground, in the rain where it had been sitting all day. It had been tossed over the fence. Thanks, UPS. Fortunately, it was well-packaged and unharmed.
 
Another time I had waited all day for a highly-anticipated delivery. I heard the truck pull in, but before I could get out the door he'd already turned around to leave. I literally chased him down the driveway, but he either didn't look back or was ignoring me on purpose. I ended up having to pick up my new Hammond at the UPS office.
 
I used to have a dog. A large Akita, he could be quite intimidating. The UPS drivers wouldn't go near him. But one day the Fed Ex guy pulled in, prepared with doggie treats in his pocket. When I arrived, the dog was sitting in the driver's seat, hoping to go for a ride. The driver, unfazed, had me sign and then gently coaxed the beast out of the truck with soft language and another treat.
 
I have received computer equipment that looked like it had been dropped from a great height. Think about how much force it takes to crumple a computer case. That's not an accident, that's some disgruntled UPS employee who's pissed off that other people are getting stuff and he isn't.
 

 

The latest Fedex scam is an extra $2.50 charge if you want to sign for something. At least that's an option at Sweetwater.
 
Let's face it, there are horror stories and 'happy' stories from both companies.

so an update
my stuff got delivered today .... sweetwater sent an update
now the bad news they left the boxes at my gate by the road (thank God for my security cameras) so I rushed home to pick  them up and bring them into my house lest they sprout legs and walk away
maybe my engineer pulled some shipping strings, dunno

Such mature dirty old men...smh
