    Dave, It must be different in the East.

    Fed Ex delivers a set of Marvics to wrong house last year. Luckily neighbor was honest. I’ve literally had to make a big ass sign with house number on it red and they still deliver to wrong house as often as not.

    UPS delivers order from Woodcraft to wrong house several months ago, their dog chews up the box and OOPS tells me it was delivered so not their responsibility.

    USPS - literally have never had anything damaged or not delivered, and this past dumpster fire of a year on time or ahead of time.

    DHL - have not used enough to have an opinion.

    FedEx fucking sucks. For now the third time in a row, packages that were supposed to be delivered yesterday have now mysteriously dissappeared from their system and it shows no tracking at all. I'm about to the point where it's keeping me from ordering from vendors that I like, only because I refuse to use fucking piece of shit garbage ass FedEx and it's their only option.

    UPS and USPS have been great by me. FedEx can choke on it.

    Confirmed again this morning. Had two packages set for delivery today. Got an email this morning that says:
    "We were unable to complete delivery of your package"
    "Customer Not Available or Business Closed
    Recommended action : Delivery will be re-attempted the next business day."
    Delivery has now been changed to Tuesday and the packages appear to be sitting at their local hub.
    Since that email came at 7:00 this morning, they obviously never tried to deliver here, but somehow they make it look like I'm the reason they can't deliver it. This has happened multiple times. If they don't want to deliver on Saturday they should just say so.

    My neighbor that usually gets my stuff actually has a sign on his door that tells Fed Ex to check the package and make sure it’s not for me/my address before they leave it.

    Fed Ex still delivers my stuff to their house.

    I shipped a flat-rate box, via USPS, May 18. It was supposed to go IL>LA, straight south. It got sent to NYC and tracking hasn’t seen it since. My postmaster checked their camera tracking system and saw it go through the NYC inbound conveyor. I filed a claim on June 2, it arrived to the addressee on June 9, and I am still getting e-mail updates USPS is still looking for my box.

    I had a box FedEx claimed they delivered, via e-mail notification. My house, garage, and shop form a courtyard around my driveway, and I live on a dead-end street. I and my dogs were outside in the shop/driveway, all afternoon. No FedEx truck was on my street and no FedEx driver stepped foot on my property. I asked FedEx for the GPS coordinate for the driver’s handheld, so I could see exactly where he delivered my box. They refused. I registered a complaint with the vendor and they had a replacement to me in 3 days.

    I was talking to a postal clerk about delivery times, since my mail showed up ~6hrs later than normal, one day. He said Amazon is burying them and that they had as many parcels on that Tuesday as their busiest day ever. He said the postmaster stopped mail/parcel deliveries at 8:30pm that night. USPS corporate refuses to allocate them more employees.

    I have a box on my counter shipped via USPS. Same street name, same addressee last name, same zip code, same city. But different house number and different addressee first name. Someone hand-wrote wrote my house number on the label with a question mark. I googled the first and last name, and got the address on the label. Someone, somewhere, inside USPS, can't read or process information that is correct. Or perform a 30 second search (okay, 60 seconds if you are on a slow connection) for a name and address.

    Considering millions of packages and letters are delivered correctly, albeit late sometimes, I would say they all do a pretty good job.

    It's still a miracle that we can get a package from England to the US in a day, sometimes less than a day, door to door is still amazing to me.

    FedEx sucks donkey balls. The only time I ever have issues with something being delivered it always involves a FedEx truck.

    I ordered an item. It was shipped from Tucker, GA on 11/13 via the UPS to USPS handoff. They call it "UPS Mail Innovations "

    On 11/21 UPS scanned it onto the truck headed to USPS about 30 miles from my house in the Chicago area.

    It hasn't been seen since, and USPS says they are still waiting for the package.

    Where is my stuff?

    Vendor isn't responding to my emails asking for them to file a claim.

    I've received 3 different neighbor's packages in the last 4 days from different handlers...then, I go deliver them.

    Went to the dentist. The hygienist said that she received an Omah Steaks package (4 filets) by mistake and she knew the peeps were in the opposite apartment building. Then she laughed and said that she grilled the steaks that evening because she knew that they'd be replaced. How I wanted to punch that girl.

    That was the problem I had. Took three weeks before the USPS would admit that they lost the surface book. Vendor wouldn't issue a credit until the USPS admitted it wasn't bouncing back and forth between three or four centers as the automated system said. This in spite of my compelling argument that my "contract was with them, not the USPS. They were the ones that contracted for delivery. I wasn't given shipment options.

    Ask them if they tried looking at the drivers house.

    I use Duke Cannon soaps. FedEx claimed they delivered it. I live on a dead-end street and I and my dogs were outside in the driveway, shop, or garage, the whole day. No delivery truck went down my street, at the time of notification. When I asked for a coordinate for where the driver’s handheld showed it was delivered, FedEx claimed they couldn’t pull that info. Bullshit! That handheld is GPS-tracked. The driver took home my badass-smelling soaps for himself.
