I got Fedex SNIPED (Formerly make the beast with two backs FEDEX)

USPS is open from 7:30 until 6:30 here. They deliver at my place around 4. I have absolutely no complaints about USPS. Canada Post is another subject entirely!

I've never had an issue with Fedex or UPS.



I've shipped over 1000 items in the past few years with UPS and not one was ever damaged or lost.


I've had 2 delayed.


UPS Rocks.

The fedex and UPS drivers here have been fine since we've moved here, but Watson and Grover are disappointed that they don't carry dog biscuits like our previous UPS driver.

Great names for dogs!

I'm the Biscuit Guy to the dogs in my area. Most have learned the routine: "Sit!, Good Dog!  Biscuit is delivered  "

Do they work on thier own time though?  FWIW, UPS drivers in my area have delivered stuff up at 9pm. USPS stops at 4pm and Fedex can occur at any moment in time. It almost seems like thye dont have a set schedule and just need to make a certain number of hours a week.

We have to follow DOT regulations, we don't keep a log book, but we're limited to 60hr in a 7 day period, and 10hrs off between shifts, also UPS tries to limit the drivers to 12hrs a day.

I got a UPS driver fired for pulling that. 

But even worse he radio'd in saying he left a note that I wasn't around, I was on my porch at the time....I said to the UPS person if he made an attempt where is my form saying he tried? I was on my porch at the time. It wasn't the first time he had done that, but it was the last.

My experience with Fed-Ex ground sucks!!!  Numerous times I've tracked the package to the point were it shows delivered when it was not.  It magically appears in my porch a day or two later.  On a side note; I worked for UPS as a driver helper one winter.  You got to give delivery guys/gals some props.  Delivering packages at -20 F is no fun

What a dumbass.

Really, see my post here, by now your ex-driver should have known that mgmt was tracking him.

My Business Agent (Teamsters Local 162) tells us to "Work as if they are watching you.  Beacause they are."

Must have been a really important package.

Must have been a really important package. 

The driver wouldn't gotten fired over one incident, there must have been others.

I think out local Portland UPS drivers and Fed Ex drivers rock.
The UPS package company drivers are Teamsters.
Our local Fedex drivers are non union and are just as awesome.
Both the union and non union employees from both companies are polite and very hard working. I have never had an issue with either company or
My friend is a pilot for Fed ex and he is a great guy.
I think there are good and bad employees in every job,but so far my experience with people here in the Northwest has been wonderful.I have been here for almost 25 years.

My friend is a pilot for Fed ex and he is a great guy.

That wouldn't be Don, the President of Ducati Pacifica?

Do you guys tip the drivers from time to time or give 'em xmas presents or just give 'em some form of gratuities for their work?

While I lived in Miami, FL, never had an issue with either UPS, Fedex or the other guys, USPS always, either, left notice to pick up large package at PO or came to the front door to deliver.

An iced tea or soda from time to time goes a loooooong way, so I say.
