Just curious what others think of FedEx.
The last 4 out of 5 package I've received via FedEx have not arrived on the schedule delivery date and usually didnt arrive until a week (7 days) after the initial scheduled date. They seem to always get hung up at one facility for a number of days along the way and then spend another 2 or 3 days at the destination facility.
Every other postal service I've used the past 2 months (even past 5 years besides UPS) have arrived not only in a timely manner but on the scheduled delivery date. I just sent my son a big 25lb box of Christmas gifts via USPS ground shipping and it arrived in 3 days flat. I bought a speaker that came from Florida (I'm in WA) that arrived in 3 days via USPS ground. I've had DHL deliver a package from the UK in 2 days this month. How is it that FedEx can't even make shipments a few states away arrive in less than a week?
Am I confused and FedEx is just the bottom tier for shipping? I get that it was the holidays etc etc but that didn't effect any shipments besides those via FedEx.
It's usualy just whatever but this is package 4 of 5 that has gone into pending and sitting in at destination facility. I did a Google search and it seems MANY people have this issue especially with the Redmond Wa facility.
Are they always incompetent? I just can't wrap my head around how they stay in business.
Incompetence just grinds my gears especially when I've received packages from all major shipping services (USPS, UPS, DHL and Amazon) and FedEx is the only one that can't get a package somewhere in less that 7+ days.
Hopefully right after I post this it will be scheduled for delivery
