Agree FedEx used to be great. Always before 10am. Always same driver.

Not sure exactly when that changed, but now the last mile is clearly contracted out to random guys busting butt for minimum wage.

Fedex is still great in my area. It really just depends where you live

Neither FedEx nor UPS have any time guarantees at this point. They're all suspended.

IE, you'll get it when you get it and there's not much to be done.

Even before covid stuff happened, FedEx sucked around me. For me their 10:30 delivery time is more like 5:00pm or the next day. I hate even having them ship dry goods anymore, they have gotten so bad.

Why is it ok to trash FedEx and UPS on here but not coral and fish venders? Maybe it has to do with sponsorship? A thread yesterday was censored heavily for much less complains

That's the one I was referring to. Sorry about your delivery. Hope you get it straightened out.

Yeah I feel bad for the fish I don’t care about the cash I would pay a 100 to bring each one back.

There's alot of variables these days and it's easy to bash the carriers (I'm guilty as the next reefer) but since Covid arrived on the scene more folks are shopping online then ever before and the carriers are pummeled with shipments. BUT on the other side of that coin & I've been doing it recently, when ordering livestock I explicitly state to the shipper I want it next day 10am, some say they can only go by what shipper tells them - then I ask for guarantee policy. We HAVE to press the shippers to fulfill overnight shipments - it benefits them also as not having to replace dead animals. Again the variables are countless, I've had vendors ship standard first class mail when it was supposed to be FedEx or UPS - so they're not "angels" either. Talk to your vendor, heck build a decent rapport and you won't believe what they'll do for you. Just sayin'

Thought this to be funny and even fairly accurate.
