Re: [MBZ] Maybe I should stick it to FedEx
I ordered a few items from amazon yesterday, and they promised next day delivery. To my surprise, the order was in my mailbox at 11am this morning - delivered by the USPS! About the earliest they come by our house is 11 - usually more like 3-4pm. How did Amazon get USPS to deliver that fast??? Closer to the original thread topic, lasat year I had an order of airplane parts go missing due to UPS. They reported it as delivered, though it was nowhere to be found. I filed a claim, had several back and forth emails with them. It was about $400 worth. UPS said they'd work with the shipper. I needed the parts so called the shipper, who said "Oh, so sorry, we'll get another order out today". They did, and it arrived three days later. Almost two months after the first order was reported as delivered, it arrived. The box had obviously been sitting outside in the rain for the duration. I have no idea where/how they found it.

Re: [MBZ] Maybe I should stick it to FedEx
Up until a few years ago, my street didn't exist on Google Maps, despite existing in reality for decades. It caused occasional problems, mostly for FedEx; UPS and USPS seemed to know about it. USPS frequently delivers my mail to my neighbors, and vice versa, or to a house on another street that has the same address number as mine. I always imagined my mail carrier is like the one on the old Chevy Chase movie "Funny Farm."

Re: [MBZ] Maybe I should stick it to FedEx
I have had real issues with Fedex. Our house is on the edge of a zip code and on a couple occasions they simply refused to drop off the package. When I went to PU at their depot they would not let me do so under any circumstances, despite having been told over the phone this is what I needed to do. No such problem with USPS or UPS.

Re: [MBZ] Maybe I should stick it to FedEx
I "lost" a box of dog food a coupla weeks ago. Got a message saying the driver could not find the address. Talked to Fedex (and this is painful), we went back and forth, I finally called Chewy and they sent out another box for free and gave me a $25 credit too. ,Same thing with Fedex then a day or two later. I call Fedex again and was like WTF I get deliveries all the time my mailbox is plainly marked. So a Fedex guy shows up a little while later and is asking me what happened, says he will go try to find my package. he comes back a coupla hours later with my box, said the other driver had left it at a house down the road a bit. That made no sense, but whatever. I get the impression this other driver was either a complete idiot or was trying to steal the dog food. I ask this guy, who was really nice, where my other box was, did this dumbass leave it at that house too or where was it, he must have some record of it. The guy kinda hems and haws a bit, was vague on the matter, which reinforced that this guy probably stole it, and the guy I was talking too just didn't want to get into it. A few weeks back my buddy tells me he was helping his daughter move. She had a coupla weeks between apartments so she left her stuff at a storage bin and stayed with the parents until the new place was available. My buddy said they went to collect her stuff one morning early, at two of the nearby bins there were these skanky looking people and delivery vans loading and unloading packages into the bins. He said it looked like Fedex contractors and they were using these bins as sorta intermediate storage/sorting/distribution points. he thought that was really weird. With some many hands involved it is no wonder stuff goes missing, and it looks like these outfits are farming out a lot of their last mile deliveries to contractors. I think Amazon is doing that too, sometimes I get a plain white van that shows up with packages. It's pretty crazy these days how the delivery business is working, the explosion of online ordering the past year or so has really put the strain on them it seems. Contracting is a good way to expand without adding employees and trucks and facilities and infrastructure, but then you sorta lose control of the end points. --FT On 6/11/21 10:42 AM, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes wrote: I ordered $2500 worth of injectors for my Duramax.

[MBZ] Maybe I should stick it to FedEx
I ordered $2500 worth of injectors for my Duramax. They were shipped FedEx with direct signature required. After a couple of delays of when they were supposed to show up, a guy calls me saying he tried to deliver but nobody was home. Wanted to know if I could meet him in town. I had literally just left the house and the wife was there, nobody rang our doorbell. I said I was gone but the wife was home, and had been all morning. He says he will try to swing back by later. On the fedex tracking is says delivery exception customer not available, and was rescheduled for the next day. I told wife to make sure to be home next day to sign for it. She says they delivered a box and handed it to her but did not have her sign anything. It was the injectors. This has been several days ago and tracking still shows the same status.
