    So yesterday I got a phone call from my apartment complex manager saying that another apartment complex a couple miles down the road called and said that they had received a package of mine, that FedEx delivered it to the wrong address. Turns out that this package contained my Vortex Razor HD 5-20x50 that I didn't even know had shipped because I never got a damn tracking number... I'm just glad come cocksucker didn't get a hold of my scope and go trade it for crack or some shit.

    Sorry lads, just had to express my extreme displeasure.

    Re: FedEx sucks

    ive luckily have not had much of a problem with any of them.( i have a wood desk and im beating the F*** out of it). but i will say this my wife had a package sent to her through UPS and we lived ion a dubbled named street. that's a north and a south in my neck. any way they went to the wrong one. then they realized it. but instead of coming to the south, they ran her name through a program they have (told to us by the UPS rep.) and it said their another Macleod in our town and they dropped the box of to her. my wife lost 2-300 bucks of jewelry. UPS paid but WTH a program???

    I generally don't complain about anything. If I order a hamburger and you bring me a ham sandwich I'll just shut up and eat it, but in this instance I actually called FedEx and gave em a piece of my mind. What happened was completely unacceptable.

    I heard a noise in my driveway looked outside and saw the FEX EX guy walking back to his truck. Opened the door and saw my new GAP-10 upper sitting on the porch. He said no signature required.
    Really dude! good thing I was home at the time!

    No joke. The bad part is, if someone jacked your package, they would probably tell you to fuck off if you tried to hold them accountable. I'm going to start insuring all of my deliveries from here on out. That's too close for comfort!

    Did you receive a tracking number for the package when it was shipped?
    Was it shipped as "signature required"?

    Re: FedEx sucks

    The best solution is to get a tracking number as soon as possible. Then you can call fedex and tell them you want to "hold at station" so wherever the closest drop point is, i/e where your drivers truck is loaded, you can go pick it up yourself. The advantage is that your stuff will be there as soon as they open.

    Me I stop having online orders sent fedex or ups, I pay a few more bux and have it shipped priority mail, I live in the middle of the US so I get anything in 2 days.

    Re: FedEx sucks

    I've experienced issues with both. The best way to handle is to get ahead of the crap by having a tracking number emailed to you by whomever or whatever you order the item(s) from. This way you can follow it as it travels. Still won't solve the problem 100% but at least you are aware of what's going on closer to realtime and can get on it faster if something starts going sideways.

    <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: shootist2004</div><div class="ubbcode-body">yes I got a number. thats why I was home waiting for it. I dont remember if it said sig req. I deleted it already. </div></div>

    So it's entirely possible that the Fed-Ex guy was delivering the package exactly like his instructions said to deliver it?

    Hopefully USPS is good in your area. I sent a GSAR back to Cali to have some work done and it got delivered to the wrong address 3 times. Not once, not twice, but three times, with the final one being to some kid at the UCLA post office box. I had the thing insured, but fortunately the kid turned it back in, or he would have had a nice new watch and I'd be waiting the obligatory 45-90 days to even file my claim. I called USPS after the first delivery error (I was tracking it online) and asked them if there was any way for them to call up where it was and get it sent to the correct post office. They were unable to give me any more information than was available online, could not give me phone numbers to either where it was supposed to go or where it went, and said there was no way for the system to reroute the package. The "system?" Seriously, if these morons don't have a one-button solution for your problem, you are SOL.

    This perfectly captures how I felt trying to explain to the USPS guys how to solve the problem:

    Re: FedEx sucks

    I've had Fedex on two seperate occasions pull up to my house and sit there for a minute and then drive off, while I was home and watching them. So I tracked the package and it gave the attempted delivery update. had to call someone at fedex both times in order for them to deliver the package.
