Has Fedex become a total goat screw?

Maybe it's just my luck, but the last few months it seems as though FX has been really screwing the pooch. For several months now, they say they are going to deliver on one day, cancel, then deliver on another day ( it's not due to weather). I called the local delivery hub on one recent screw up, the delivery date showed the item was on the truck. It got delivered the following day. When asked why, the hub woman said that the item was not even put on the truck. She couldn't explain why this is happening so frequently.
Are you guys getting this same treatment with FX? I try to patronize them since they haven't caved to blm yet, unlike ups. It just seems like a lesson in frustration.

I had that same issue with UPS last year. They were scanning packages as “out for delivery” multiple times when they were not loaded on the truck. They had too many packages to fit on the truck but they still scanned them because they were in a pile to be loaded. Stupid practice and frustrating.
 
Half my FedEx packages show up a day or two later than initial tracking.
 
Ups guys scared of my dog. No one else has problems with him. Last spring bought a scope from optics planet that said optics planet right on the shipping package in large letters and he left it lay by the mailbox out on the rural road.... We had a discussion.....
 
FedEx ground has sucked sweaty balls. In my case, UPS has been much better w my deliveries.

had a sig req, no redirect, shipment w FedEx and they said they’d deliver on a day I was to be out of my home. So, I paid for a 5-8 pm delivery.
Not only did they not deliver, they came the next day at 2pm and I’m standing in my open garage at my benches and the driver said “oh, I can’t give it to you because it’s not to be delivered until 5-8pm!!
got his manager on the phone and w a lot of persuasion (along the lines of “but I’m standing right here next to your truck” and he relented and allowed the driver to del my ammo.
Used to be a great company, not anymore.
 
I didn't want to support a blm sponsor (ups). So much for altruistic motives. At least I know that I'm just a mere cog in the wheel when it comes to screwed up deliveries. Thanks for the insights.
 
i shipped some ammo via fedex a few weeks ago. handed it to the driver as he was dropping off a pkg for me. a week later i get an email saying they're charging me another 3 or 4 bucks, it said to read their policies for more info. i mean, wtf, if they're going to charge me more than they agreed to, can't they at least spell out what changed to increase their fee?

and yeah when i get shipping notices from fedex, it seems like they key off the shipping date on the label when it's created, before they even get the pkg. then all of a sudden the expected deliv date is a few days later.
 
FedEx Ground is a mixed bag. There are different divisions of FedEx. Freight seems to be somewhat better in places and way worse in others, like Ground. Same situation with Express. Whenever I order something from BowlingBall[dot]com, my order always arrives 3 days BEFORE the projected day. I refuse to order anything from Amazon. Their delivery drivers are hot garbage. UPS isn't that bad..........yet.
 
I've had mixed results from all of the carriers, while I don't ship or receive much, my experience is "it gets here when it gets here". Luckily I'm usually not in a hurry to get it, but when the tracking # goes dark, I get a bit concerned. It usually shows up later than sooner. But I get the package so that's the good thing. LOL
 
My fedex guy is older (50s?) and is great! Ups guy is younger (30s) and is on his phone every time, BUT is also a great guy. Both talk with me and are very accommodating. With ups, if I have a signature required package that I won’t be home for, I have the item to be picked up at the distribution center - not that far from me. FedEx guy just leaves stuff even if signature required!😁
I agree the nearest day or so is normal but compared to usps I’m ok with that. I have two packages that shipped a few weeks ago still not here. A relatives wedding invitations mailed more than a month ago for a wedding last weekend still aren’t delivered!
 
Being a FFL that works out of home and a truck driver too really sucks.
fedex ups and the post office are all incompetent.
ive requested delivery holds from FedEx and ups till I get back home.
get back home and there’s firearms on my front deck been there for days.
good thing I’m back in the woods.
post office is worse, I have a P.O. Box and it’s taking at least 2-3 weeks to receive a package.
bought some 10mm Bullets 10 weeks ago and still haven’t seen them.
 
Fed Ex ground... the last 4 shipments either never showed up in their 'system' or they made it across the country in two days and then sat in Phoenix for a week. I call and every time at some point I get the 'Covid' excuse. My response is 'don't even go there with me'. I've been telling to get with UPS because they have figured out the 'Covid' thing. I'll tell you they DO NOT like that smart assed comment.
 
We over nighted a hub for a customer's tractor. 3 fucking weeks. It sat in Atlanta for 9 days. We still got charged the overnight rate. The proper term is goat fuck.

Fed Ex sucks. Ask for a hold at location the second I get a tracking number and my package has to go out for delivery, go back to the DC, and then get redirected adding a day. Not the end of the world but I gave you 4 or 5 days notice so WTH? And is it me or has UPS's tracking gone to shit? Used to show the stops, etc and now it's "On it's way" ??? Mind you most times I look at the tracking and think Memphis, TN or Olive Branch, MS are NOT between Kansas and Little Rock... I guess my package was taking a tour of the South. Fed Ex still wins with a package that was shipped and made it to my AO and then returned to the shipper!

Fedex drivers, contracted in Penske and Ryder trucks have backed into my rock wall twice at the house in 3 months. 3' high solid mortared rock wall. First time took forever to get my money....second time I installed cameras and sent them a video. They are always 2 days off on the date tracking says packages will be here and leave shit in a different obscure place every time. UPS here is great. Local driver same one for many years. Signs my packages for me...leaves stuff under shelter etc.

I handle shipping for my small company - dozen or so small packages per week, mostly UPS ground or USPS. We usually drop them off (gives US more flexibility) but for the most part packages are NOT getting to their destination in the time promised. We experience the same issues with inbound shipments from UPS, USPS, and FedEx. I'm to the point where I warn customers - and some customers respond by saying they've gotten used to delays.

With UPS it's usually a day or two longer than promised. USPS is terrible. Mailed two identical packages, both to the same part of the country. First one got dropped off on a Tuesday, second one on Wednesday. The second one arrived at its destination the following Friday. The first got hung up in a terminal somewhere and took two weeks.

Then last week, on Wednesday, I scheduled a UPS Freight pickup for Friday between noon and 5. Nobody showed. No calls. Nothing. Just before noon on Monday I called the terminal and was told they were short drivers on Friday and that I'd get a call later Monday with the driver's estimated arrival time. No calls - again - but at least this time a truck showed about 4.

I suppose they're no different than any other business these days - hard to find good help . . .

We get packages here at home from both UPS and FedEx. Here in Gods country 16 miles south of DC is not rural but not in the city. I get and send packages/pouches for my business and the misses keeps everybody’s delivery drivers busy. But gotta say, for us here, UPS is head and shoulders above FedEx. UPS deliveries are 98-99% on time and the driver will frequently put packages/pouches against the house if it’s raining. The FedEx guys slow down enough to hurl the package out the door hoping to score a hit on the sidewalk near the door. Well maybe not always but I was witness to a flying package come out of a FedEx truck a couple of years ago. It was on time so kudos for that.

UPS Freight was bought out by a Canadian firm. That might be the issue with them. However, UPS Freight have had a notorious reputation for being absolute horse shit. UPS Freight came to be when UPS panic purchased Overnight after FedEx announced the start of their freight division over a decade and a half ago.

UPS, as a whole, is slipping to the wayside after changing CEOs. David Abney stepped down a little bit ago and was replaced with Carol B Tomé. Abney is now on the Board of Directors at Northrup Grumman. He also holds a position at UPS as Executive Chairman.

USPS is to be avoided as much as possible. I had a package sent from Kadena, by my brother. It took over 2 months to get to me. It was hung up at Customs in NYC for a little bit and then sat inside of a trailer at the local USPS station until it was finally unloaded and put on a truck. Some of the contents was Japanese beer. I'm not a beer drinker. I still tried them and was impressed with their flavor. Way better than American piss water.
 
UPS, FEDEX and USPS...interchangeable; trucks look different. Ordered a batch of bullets shipped USPS flat rate. Get a sticky note, "Undeliverable, Overweight Package." Double check the math...nope, contents 61 lbs. No way the box weighs eight lbs. Reschedule delivery, get another sticky.

Report to the PO and ask why, clerk says overweight, I say weigh it. Plops it on the scale and, "Hmm, 66 lbs. Well, we have some pretty sorry employees." I don't think he expected my response of, "You're overestimating them."

Anyone else sick of hearing, "Due to COVID 19...?"
 
Fedex is hit or miss near me. Had a package from Numrich arrive with the box damaged (contents were good, thankfully) and it had a sticker saying don't accept if damaged. Hard to do when the driver leaves it and takes off.

UPS is decent. USPS was decent until the bullshit virus.

Where I really seem to notice the difference is the franchisee wing of Fedex. These mom and pop operations have been a constant source of f'ups for years. The drivers are a bunch of young retards. The regular drivers that are unionized seem to be more professional, but even that is deteriorating.

Ups is and has been going down ever since they allowed usps to make deliveries for them. Surprises me that they are supporters of blm...........Hope they reap the benefits of that move.
 
Burris sent me a Fed-ex 2 day label to send them a scope. I live 237 miles away from Greeley. As soon as it was in their system it had a delivery exemption on it. It took them over a week to get it there. I contacted Burris and sent them the tracking info and noted my problems with fed-ex, and they actually listened and sent my scope back through a different shipper. (y)
 
Haha. Part 2...FedEx keeps sending me delivery notices for package from Seekins that was delivered a week ago!

They all suck but recent experience is that FedEx sucks more these days.
 
Sapporo or Asahi?


Anyone else sick of hearing, "Due to COVID 19...?"
The Sapporo was pretty good until I hit the halfway point. Then it tasted like a vodka-Red Bull and Sprite combination with the aftertaste of cough syrup. :sick: The other two cans were better all the way through.

The COVID excuse is the jack of all trades excuse for being incompetent or not wanting to fulfill an obligation, social or otherwise. I filed my taxes during the first week of February and haven't received my fucking return...............due to COVID.

In our area, the FedEx drivers are mostly “contract drivers”! While some are good, decent, responsible people.....there are are a couple that are a waste of good oxygen! memtb
 
All of the shipping companies are overwhelmed due to COVID leaving them short handed and with record high volumes caused by so many people staying/working from home and ordering shit online. Add to the cluster the gov paying people to not work through extended unemployment benefits and stimulus checks makes it harder to fill vacancies. Check quarterly earnings and you’ll see record/near record profits, also check hiring for these companies and you’ll see shit ton of openings.

You think the contract package delivery drivers are bad? I deal with the contract linehaul drivers on a nightly basis. I am also one but consider myself conscientious, courteous, polite, have a clean driving record, and my CSA score remains at 0. Been driving trucks for 16 years now. The contractor I work for has hiring standards and would rather have an empty truck over hiring some massive retard who can barely tie their own shoes; let alone drive. I don't have patience for stupidity and dealing with stupid people. In trucking, one will be successful as long as they have common sense, good judgement, and patience. A ton of drivers out there are lacking in at least 2 of those things. Many lack all 3. I suppose common courtesy can be added to that list. Most coming out of the CDL mills these days absolutely lack common courtesy.

I've gotten into near fisticuffs with numerous retards for coming into my station and dropping trailers in throughways, dumping dollies in those throughways, or other random spots, setting up while blocking the only throughway, and neither of them had the manhood to own up to their stupidity. Thankfully I haven't seen any of them back at my station since. Most contractors, sadly, base their hiring standards on two things: a pulse and CDL. It's like they say, "here are the keys. Good luck! Figure it out yourself!"

I won't drive for any FedEx Ground contractors after moving to FL. Trying to find a decent one is like playing Russian Roulette. The difference is all the chambers but one is loaded. I'd rather not take that chance.

Just and FYI: If you catch where your stuff is BEFORE it leaves the hub to make the final leg to your local station, you can call a customer service number and talk to somebody about making arrangements to pick up your package at the station. Getting somebody on the line might be a bit difficult depending where you are. For those in the Philly area and the suburbs, I could give you a number to call via PM. The number goes straight to the linehaul office in KoP. KoP is the head honcho hub in the Philly area. Only use that number under dire circumstances. Don't use and abuse it!

I'm glad a trucker said this because I have definitely noticed a change in overall truck driver behavior over the last 15 - 20 years and it hasn't been for the better.

I think manufacturers or pressure from the industry to change the transmission from manual to automatic has played a huge part. Automatics came about as a means to draw in more people who'd otherwise wouldn't be able to operate a commercial vehicle. The industry's door is wide open and being flooded with morons who cannot be trusted to make a plain sandwich.

Morons were existent when I entered but the lack of common courtesy wasn't so widespread and accepted as it is today. A ton of idiots lacking in the skills to pay their bills use the fuel lanes as a place to park for their fucking breaks. That wasn't tolerate over a decade ago. I still don't tolerate it. Fuel up, move up, and get the fuck outta the way. If doing neither, find a legitimate parking stall and do your business. The bad driving habits have also increased. Many on the road today drive those fucking rigs like they drive their own vehicle. The tailgating has become a rampant problem. Even though the truck I drive tops out at 75mph, I often keep it around 65 to 68mph since I don't care to catch up to the clusterfucks ahead. When I do catch up, I have a ton of pedal left to make a quick and solid pass. Dipshits catch up and think tailgating is the best course of action. Seriously....what the fuck?
 
I don't care who you use to ship, they all suck.

There's not enough room on this forum for me to tell ya about the issues I've had. I've got one right now. A slide coming from Florida. Should have been here on Saturday and now all I get with the tracking app is it's been received at the post office.
 
Yes.

I have had three packages overnighted to my work address in the last 4 months. We are just over an hour from civilization, asshole drives a route that goes out over two hours from his office because this is the hinterlands. He stops at my office, gets out of truck, sticks missed delivery label to door and drives off. Does not knock, ring door bell or carry package. He never intends to deliver the package. He has literally done this when the door is opened and he can clearly see people inside the office, he sticks label beside the door and runs off.

I then call his office directly because I saved their number, tear into his boss a bit, nothing mean, just harsh. Last time he literally went to rear door because I was standing in front door. They make him return the same day, he tries to ignore the mess he caused every time.

The question is why? Why act stupid and increase both your workload and your misery because I cause him as much misery as possible. I'm guessing he is "woke" and I am white and we are a 24/7 operation unaffected by the corona hoax so he is acting out his Biden hate fantasy on his customers. This happens all over tiny town to anyone he deals with constantly. FEDEX as a company could literally care less. His manager as a person does not enjoy it so much.

I don't think the transmission has much to do with it........is it that hard to learn? I think the prevalence of lack of common sense and courtesy is much more noticeable in people under 30. The generation that grew up with participation trophies and few consequences for being fuckups is now getting jobs.

This is what I have noticed the most. I try like hell to keep my cool, but about 12 years ago one of those tailgating idiots decided he wanted to pass the truck in front right when my car was within 5 feet of his trailer and passing on the left. Maybe because I had that happen more than a few times over the previous months, I fucking lost it. As soon as I could I got in front of him and brake checked him so hard that I saw the trailer tires begin to lock up.

Not proud of that, but it shows what happens when some people get pushed hard enough.

And then there's the asshole taking 15 minutes to make a pass because he's going 0.5 mph faster than the truck on the right.
 
i had 24lb of powder and supressor delivered to my house, that had sig required, that i found sitting at my back door when i got home. lol.

Not only that, yesterday, i went to fedex to ship a rifle and the dumb bitch at the desk (acted like it was her first day) had to look at her handbook before taking the rifle and said it HAD to be shipped next day. I told her that was bullshit and i had just shipped a rifle 2 weeks prior via fedex ground to MT with $3500 worth of insurance and it was $81. I asked how much this was going to cost to send it to TN and she said $171. i told her NOPE! grabbed the rifle and left. While driving away, i called fedex dangerous shipping and he said that rule only applies to hand guns. I turned around, went back and told her "ME AGAIN". Explained that i talked to corporate and that next day rule only applied to pistols and she never asked me what kind of firearm this was and it was a barreled action. She talked to her manager and came back. Told me ground was $16 plus $15 worth of insurance valued at $1300. I replied "far cry from $171 aint it?" she agreed and took the rifle. They dont know wtf is going on half the time.
 
I'm waiting to see if there is going to be any fall out over calling fx's 800 number and complaining about the contracted help. Last delivery the driver had a bag over the box, that's odd as weather was not a problem. Once I opened the box, I saw a pretty good size hole in the bottom of the box. Explains the bag. Now I have to fight it out with brownells and fx over the claim. 30 day wait according to brownells. This was really both brownells and fx' fault. Brownells didn't do a good job packing, so the sharp edge and weight of two items punched thru. Lots of packing retards at the vendors locations too. Amazon is the worst.

I use to have a really good driver for ups, he would even bring up the empty garbage can if it was setting out. Those days are long gone, along with him.

The automatic transmission has opened the door wide open for people who would otherwise have no business in this business. Many of these trucks now "drive" like a 4 wheeler. It used to take some skill to shift gears, go down steep grades in the proper gear with the engine retarder/compression brakes/jake brakes going, and keeping the brakes from catching fire. With automatics, the transmission pretty much does it on its own. Modern trucks take very little skill to operate. The only merely require a driver with a pulse.

I choose to confront the morons who incense me. Most will run their dick sucker lips on the CB and refuse to pull over with me to talk things over. Those who did get to see me have locked their doors, rolled up their windows, and hid in the sleeper berth. I'm not exactly a guy of small stature. Sure as shit not obese and I still have all my teeth. Many of the dickheads on the road would have gotten their asses beat at a truck stop a decade ago. They would have either taken the beating and learned a lesson or learned they don't belong and removed themselves from the industry altogether.

As for the topic at hand. USPS went to shit the instant The Donald fired the previous Postmaster General and replaced him with an incompetent boob. It was that instant the USPS went to absolute shit.
 
I will agree that Trump was the worst personnel manager that I ever saw. Terrible choices for key positions as they all seem to be swampers. I'd still rather have him over the idiot that stole the election, but he left us with a legacy of real loosers....wray, faucci, ect.
 
Well, FX struck again with a no delivery. I've done some digging and I don't know if it will do any good for you guys, but here is a corporate office number for FX. It may take some doing but you can eventually get to an English speaking customer advocate: 469-980-3000. Be polite and hopefully it will bring reward to you.
I did find out that the late and damaged deliveries are being made by contracted help. Not the regular FX employed drivers. Makes you wonder why we pay such high shipping fees and end up with the second stringers.
The 800 number for FX is pretty worthless. Very hard to understand the poor/broken English.
 
Took 4 hours off yesterday for sig required package that didn't show up. No updates just an unchanging delivery date.
Doing the same again today with the hopes it works out.
Fed Ex 800 number is shit and all automated. I will keep this number for future needs 469-980-3000. Thanks @Sgtsideways
 
First of all Husky floor mat liners I like em, had a set for 5 years and wore through, Husky sent a new set under warranty, never got a
real delivery date WTF FEDEX is it on the truck or not. Wrong fucking mats good work Husky, returned them, new shipped
WTF FEDEX truck shows up on scheduled delivery, guy in the truck is fucking around in the back, then drives away and reschedule for
two more days. Truely a fucking shit show.
 
Item finally arrived, but it took about 3 hours of phone calls. Punk that showed up looked like a total crack head and smelled really bad even at 10 ft. away. I had him set the box on the drive as I didn't want to get close enough to catch the head lice. Most unkempt kid I've seen in a long while.

He had the balls to argue with me about how it wasn't his fault for late and damaged deliveries. This after admitting he didn't have the time to deliver my package the day before, even though it was on the truck. Now I know they lied at the local delivery hub.

Can't believe how desperate fx must be to hire this kind of trash.

UPS may have a blm supporting bitch as ceo, (drivers really hate her and will tell you that locally they have lost major accounts due to her p.c. blm crap.) but at least they are professionally dressed and I know the drivers. I've had it with fx.
 
I had a package show up today that was allegedly "delayed" until Tuesday.

I'm not complaining but their tracking system is next to useless.

Fedex today misdelivered my Swaro SLC 15x56 to the wrong address completely in the middle of nowhere... Signature and everything. $2400 binos to the wrong address.

I get a phone call from the guy who read the address label and had my phone number on there and he offers to drive them to my work. The guy gets multiple packages to his workshop everyday so he failed to check. He apologized when he really didn't need to since it wasn't his fault.

Anyhow, good humans in the world and I get my Swaros AND find out the guy who received them is a metal fabricator. So he gave me a business card and let me know he can build ar500 targets for me.

Fedex's fuck up was slightly a blessing.

Had the same thing happen with an item that was supposedly delivered, but wasn't. Fed said it was delivered to the wrong address. Went to the address and the guy didn't know anything about it. As I'm talking to him, here comes the fed ex driver. "Oh I have it here on my truck." Would not answer why it was shown as delivered...........Total douche bag.

NO they don't. This and a lot of other problems plaguing the country can be tied to the biteme bucks that d.c. is passing out for people not to work. Published articles(Newsmax) state that the reason the gasoline prices are going up is directly due to a lack of drivers. Supposedly there is plenty of gasoline. Sounds perverse, but welcome to commie joe land.
Why would lazy people go to work when they can make ends meet by staying home and collecting biteme bucks? They have no work ethic and I have no respect for that.
Look forward to more of these retards showing up on your doorsteps.
