Have had several problems with getting packages to my shop on time!

Did a Big trade with a Member around $1000-$1200 worth of frags. We both shipped Fedex priorty overnight by 10:30am..He got his Box around 10am and mine is still on the truck! Called Fexed 4 diffrent times trying to get it worked out.(each time new story)..said it would be hear in 20 min and that was 40min ago...its 98 in baltimore today...Just my luck!

sorry ,just venting!

Pray that all my frags are ok!!!

At least it's coming the correct day. I shipped out 4 packages on Monday and only one made it on time, the others arrived today. All were shipped to areas in 89* weather and one box contained a frag of My Miami... fortunately I know 2 of 3 are fine, I haven't heard from the 3rd guy...

I always have my packages delivered to the closest FedEx Office address. Its a bit more of a pita to have to go and get but I can pick it up earlier if I want, there is no sitting in a truck or being left on my doorstep in hot or cold weather. Its the safest option imo and I would recommend it :)

and FedEx is not even the worst carrier, lol

That sucks, I hate waiting when it's a live package. FedEx is usually pretty good by me, but I was waiting for a Blue Face angel in the winter, didn't know it arrived until I checked online. The guy left it in the snow on the porch and never rang the bell. I was sitting in the next room waiting for it.

Also, ordered some Marco rocks two weeks ago. Shipment had a delivery exception stating that the package was damaged. I sent them an e-mail saying, come on, they're just rocks, just send 'em anyway. Turned out the trailer they were in burned to the ground. At least I didn't lose anything living.

+1 If you have problems with getting a delivery by 10:30 you should check if you even get the 10:30 guarantee. Alot of towns/citys that are far from the station do not qualify for the 10:30 del time.

i hardly get anything by 10:30 from fedex
everything leaves their place at the same time and i have had 2 right at 10:30 everything else is typically noon.
and almost every box is smashed in some way
