Bad FedEx and UPS drivers

Sim Kid · 10-14-2009, 10:52 PM

I have quite a bit of complaints about these two companies...

1) The doorbell is there for a reason. Use it. We are not going to hear you in the basement if you knock on the door. (No it's not broken...we tested it)

2) If we're allowed to sign the sticker in place of a pad (Which isn't as easy for them), and we place the sticker right on the door, please don't just place ANOTHER "We missed you" sticker right next to the first one that was SIGNED!!! -.- Don't you actually get more money if you successfully deliver the package?

3) Who expects a package at 7:40 AM? Seriously?! I doubt FeEX or UPS are even OPEN then! The guy across the street who found the "We tried to send this to you at 7:40 AM" sticker on his door wants to know too. (Also how could it be a typo? If it's suppose to be a "1", then who expects a package at 1:40 AM?)

4) Not really a complaint but a suggestion. Generally, it'd be really helpful if the "We missed you, we'll try tomorrow" had an estimated time range for us to expect you...Because we have no clue WHEN you're trying again tomorrow, or what would be a good time to camp by the door to listen for you on the deck.

5) Don't forge signatures!!!

6) Don't send us a bill for services we did not request. If we say "We didn't ship a package with you, you have the wrong person" and the "Sender" is obviously someone else (Because it's soooo easy to mistake "Nakamura" for "Steele"), don't threaten us with legal action because we don't want to pay for something we didn't even send

6.5) Then, don't just give us an apology when you realize "oh wait...you're not Nakamura, you're Steele! Sorry for charging you!" and not reimburse us when we finally pay to shut you up. :roll: (This is the #1 reason dad hates United Piece of ****)

I agree with your other stuff mostly, but this got a chuckle out of me. Fed EX and UPS are always open. Your crap would be phenomenally late, and they would be absurdly backed up if they weren't.

They don't know when they're going to try and deliver again. How can they tell you a time they don't know?

I hate doorbells.

I don't think you really have a good scope of how huge these organisations are. Yes, delivering at 7.40am is reasonable. There are too many people in the US to only deliver between 9 and 5.

This is great.

I have a package I need to FedEx tomorrow.

Really, I never found any of the locations you go to send a package in this town open except the hours of 9 to 6.

The customer side of things isn't open. Shipping still goes on as usual, as it's a different facet of the company.

A store doesn't need to be open to consumers for the company to be running.

well still annoyed that we'd have to sign for packages early in the morning. But 7:40 is better than 5. (I doubt any of these 5 AM Deliveries are true. :P Sounds more like being given a death certificate if you send a Cabbage PAtch Kid in to be fixed)
