UPS Sucks...

[blackfox]

FWIW, I just shipped 8 boxes from Oregon to Texas (containing misc household items) and FedEx delivered them three days early (even according to tracking).

Glad I happened to be around, but still as problems go - it is a pretty good one. No complaints with FedEx personally...your experience may vary.

Yeah, I had a guy who did that with a UPS Red Label once. He never knocked - I just heard him drive off. He's gone now.

That happened multiple times with my packages in Phoenix. Same problem, different company. Fedex. To this date, I can't stand Fedex. I'm one of 5 people who where happy when Newegg.com changed from Fedex to UPS as the cheap shipping option.

Interestingly enough... Fedex delivered a refurbished shuffle from Apple today. It was tagged with Signature required. They left it at on the door step. jerks.

USPS isn't bad at all, my only problem with them is going to the Post Office, which is always packed.

FedEx isn't bad to ship with, i just don't like their delivery methods

UPS is the best overall i think.

DHL half-asses everything.

Funny to see this thread, Im have a problem with my package delivery from FedEX as we speak, but it's not their fault it's mine. I moved about 3 months ago, and I just bought something on E-Bay, and forgot to change my shipping address. By the time I realized it it was already shipped to my old address. I e-mailed the seller and he called FedEX and they are re-routing it. I hope it makes it here, It's a Protein Skimmer (if you have any idead what that is) If you don't it's basically a kind of filter for my Saltwater Fish Tank, which right now doesn't have one. So it's going from Indiana to Virgina by way of New Jersey . Other then this I have only had one other problem with UPS, which was last christmas, when I ordered an iLap stand for a friend for christmas and it took like 3 weeks to ship Ground. He got it like a week after christmas. I mean I understand the holiday rush but 3 weeks??? Jeeze . It finally arived and the box was all beaten and dented, luckily the contents was ok. I have never had any other problems with USPS/UPS/FedEx, I've never used DHL so I can't speak for them, but I know someone who used to work at a UPS store and he said they are horrible. Wow that was a long post Wheeeew

I don't know if you are basing your delivery attempted off of the site saying that or saying out for delivery - if the former, hopefully you get it tomorrow; if the latter, you may just get it later today.

well FedEx actually showed up later this afternoon surprisingly.

glad i was home for that.

Told you so Just playing with you - I'm glad they actually showed up.

Gary, at the risk of demonstrating my ignorance - what is a Red Label and what makes it different from any other package?
