DHL "accidentally" (even though they knew about it and still didn't give a crap) left my friends Giant African desert Tortoise in a non-heated warehouse for 2 weeks last December. Starving, dehydrated, freezing cold and very irritable it did manage to survive :tara:

What that has to do with UPS of Fed Ex I haven't the foggiest

I've always had good service from UPS and DHL is second but FEDEX
has been way off on service.
As of 10 AM UPS has my package out for delivery a day early and FEDEX still sits in Grove City, Ohio

 

[Herzog]

I've had similar results!

DHL lost or didn't deliver a couple of my packages in the last few months. They are off my list of acceptable shippers.

This is just for

me nothing but bad experiences with UPS. Ordered some parts and the box looked like someone played hockey with it. It was just a car part that really wasn't fragile but still made me think they don't care about your package. DHL well I have overnighted stuff they don't really come on time. Fedex I have only sent documents and they are great on that. USPS it doesn't get here really fast but they are nice, package is never banged up.

I'll never forgive UPS for going on strike and holding a package hostage, they should have gone to jail. You wanna strike, strike but you should deliver the packages you've already accepted.

Hmmm... I have had the opposite experience... Fed Ex is extremely hard to work with... I've had packages lost by both of them(temporay) but I found that FED-EX is harder to work with on it. We use UPS almost exclusively and they are cheaper, and faster in my experience...

 

[91MJ97TJ]

Yeah they can be

but my FEDEX experiences has exclusively been through work so having an account and just dialing the automated number is easy.

I really hate the FEDEX truck drivers though? Anyone been nearly killed by them before?

No way thats screwed up. What did they have of yours?

Nothing for the TJ

In '97ish I pitched a ujoint on my '96 Sportsman, UPS had my yoke in a warehouse somewhere.... IIRC after two weeks with no sign of when I would get my yoke (it would normally have been 3 days) the dealer ended up ordering another shipped via FedEX.

UPS's online tracking also sucks ass where as you can use FedEX online tracking to see if that noise you just heard out front was the FedEX truck.

Because God forbid you actually look on the front steps for a package, that's sooooo muuuuch WORK!

They are hands down terrible drivers! The love of my life has nearly been mowed down numerous times by them and one time an exceptionally talented one almost took out our gooseneck. How the he!! do you miss seeing a huge silver truck with an orange Ditch Witch on a black trailer?

 

[peckertrax]

I drove past the wreck tonight on I-215 ~2200 N. there were 2or 3 cars and a Fed Ex truck involved. The center divider was wiped out and scattered for ~50 feet.
I'm not sayin' the Fed Ex driver was at fault....

On the news they said the Fed Ex truck went across oncoming traffic.


Hope your package wasn't late.
