You can usually choose FedEx or USPS or UPS for most domestic shipments when placing an order.
Thanks Henry.

This is the only sensible response here. "By the end of business" means just that, sometime between the start of business and the end of business. It does not mean AT the end of business. These drivers get paid by the delivery so don't have time to mess about with people who don't understand a simple message.

So true!

Unfortunately, the job market has a lot of room for employees who are not emotionally connected with their employer or its customers. I wonder why...

Employers are partly to blame. I am retired from a large company. For most of my years there it was a great company to work for. At meetings they would always say, and mean, that the employees were the backbone of the company. When being hired they stressed that short of stealing you had a job for life.
By the time I retired, as planned, the mantra became, 'If you don't like it, there's the door'.
Everyone I kept in touch with told me I retired just in time.

Having to sign is a major nuisance. When that happens, I spend all day indoors - waiting.

I live in a rural area in Louisiana, mail and packages get damp even in a good mailbox. I travel. In my area FedEx is much worse than UPS. Now both dump packages to USPS for final delivery which often is a black hole.
I resolved delivery issues years ago by using a personal mailbox, currently a UPS store. They handle signatures, notify me by email of deliveries(including tracking numbers), store and protect packages and mail from damp, theft.

In my experience, FedEx is the pits. I frankly can't understand how they compete and stay in business.

If you bothered to read the full thread you would have a better understanding of the facts.

Been there, experienced that. I changed my delivery location to either my wife’s office or the local UPS store in my town for anything requiring a signature. Lesson learned. Works every time.

I heard that FedEx and UPS were going to merge. The new company will be named, "FedUp".
A good one.

Sorry to hear of your nightmare.
FedEx is the worst. My daughter runs a postal store, and I sometimes help her. USPS and UPS are the only way to go if you have a choice.

For an expensive item. You do want to be home for a signature, to receive your item. Porch pirates use to operate during the Xmas holidays. Now, it is Year round. I saw on the TV News. That 10% of delivered packages in NYC are stolen by Porch Pirates. Not all of those packages were cheap items either.

Create a Fed Ex account. On line you can the divert your delivery to a local Fed Ex Store. Works like a charm. Perhaps in rural area there are no such stores, but in urban areas, it works quite well. You get notified of the delivery and you simply go to the store and pick up package at your convenience.
