FedEx has damaged packages that it delivered to me, has delivered my packages to wrong addresses, has left my packages on my walkway in the rain rather than walk the additional eight feet to place them under cover at my door and has dropped an expensive computer at my door; we heard the crash and my dogs started barking. When I was in business, I instructed my suppliers not to ship items to me via FedEx.
About a year ago I was chatting with one of my patients who was a FEDEX driver. I was surprised when he told me that FEDEX drivers (and I assume this is true but have not "independently verified it") are contract employees - they get no benefits, have to pay the whole self-employed tax, etc.. He told me that most were unhappy and always had applications in at UPS. Maybe that explains a few things!
