FedEx: Why must your tracking be built on a house of lies?

[Brainonska511]

I have a feeling this delivery is not going to happen today:



This isn't the first time FedEx adjusted a delivery window to be earlier and then just completely blew past it, while never updating the estimated delivery.

Personally my biggest peeve is orders notifying as shipped when only a label has been created. MFer is not shipped and won't likely for days.

In a way, Amazon seems to do the opposite but also still annoying: ships stuff internally between their warehouses before it officially ships to keep their bs 2-day delivery window.

I do agree though, your scenario is very annoying: "we printed a label for your box, but it's going to sit for a few days until pickup".

At least they didn't ferry your package back and forth between two stops. Multiple times. The package didn't leave PA til the 20th. It just kept bouncing between the two locations. Some days it left a place and returned to the same place.

The company, FedEx was built on lies right from the start. I saw a show 20/20, Nightline, 60 minutes, one of those type…talked about the various lies and sketchy things Fred Smith did during the founding of the company. Lied to the banks, lied to the government agencies, etc. (and their overnight delivery service was far superior to FedEx ground.)

Stupid Fed Ex.

Amazon opened a really huge dstro center not far from me. Must've been at least a few years ago. Pretty much everything i buy is probably in stock and could be delivered the same day, but they still try to charge me 3 bucks if I order "late." Sometimes I throw 'em a bone.

This is going back to very late 20th century. My gf at the time had to order radioactive "label" with a half life of just a few days, and she still got dicked around.

They did that last week for a package of mine. Really annoying especially since it needed a signature

At least I live in an apartment complex (and also WFH), so things just get signed by the package manager.

Turns out they're going to deliver it Tuesday... Kind of annoying still, because I'm out of town for work until Thursday.

I like to try to think of the "Tracking" software as more of a sort of Fiction than outright lies. But, either way, its bullcrap

FedEx took care of me last Saturday. They actually met their 2 hour window, and the driver was hot! They need more female drivers!

FedEx mostly does alright for me. UPS lately has just not been updating tracking in between the time the item departs one facility until it shows up at the local facility. I'm pretty sure an item going from New York City to Seattle probably has some intermediate stops in the course of a week, but not according to the tracking.

At first, I thought this was posted by the "habitual Fedex avoider" on this board. Won't call him out here, but I think you guys can figure out the person...

FedEx did deliver today, so the saga is over. Technically, the Saturday delivery would have been early (original delivery date was 5/29); my issue was just that they don't really update the early predicted delivery date when it was clearly going to be blown.

It seems just like Amazon service varies by area, so does the delivery of the big carriers, which makes sense.

Here FedEx ground sucks, their two day service is good. UPS is overall very very good here.

Well it is my turn.

We ordered a new bed through Costco and the delivery is today between 12 and 4. We have a king size foam bed (Heavy) with the power bases that tilt the bed up and down (Yes we are old.) I took out the old bed and bases and it was a bitch doing it myself because as already stated I am old and also sick. I thought about waiting until tomorrow but thought if the window is from 12 to 4, there is a 50% chance of the bed showing up before before 2:00.

It is now 4:30 and no bed. We might end up sleeping on the sofas tonight.

Fed Ex, once again.

Did you check if it is in PA?

So this is #MeToo for FedEx now....

I love my Avocado Green mattress but it's a beast at 130lbs or so. That's not really a lot of weight if it's condensed. But at the dimension of a queen mattress and 12-14" deep, it's like wrestling a boxcar of boas. Very uncooperative boas.

Tracking said it was out for delivery at 7:00 this morning so I thought I had a 50-50 chance that it would be here between 12 and 2. Nope, I should have remembered with my luck that I really had a 90% chance of it showing at 4:00. It did show up at 5:00. 4 pieces with a total weight of 330 pounds.

As CH said, I had to move the old mattress which is like moving a heavy bag of snakes. So I had to take the doors off the bedroom, move a solid wood chest and two large display cabinets, all while I am sick. The set up was not too bad but the only thing I put back was the doors to the bedroom, the rest can stay where it is.
