Has anyone else had the horrible misfortune of getting their package sent by FEDEX ground? What a nightmare!

I don't understand the decision to use them for a few cents less than UPS. Any thoughts?

I would be happy to get deliveries by fedex as UPS always beats the hell out of my deliveries, actually now I pay a bit more and have it shipped by priority insured.

I like to stick with USPS myself...Less thieves employed there than UPS and Fed Ex 🙂

I always request Priority Mail. I get it at least 2 days sooner than UPS and have never had a theft or any other problem. That IS disturbing to hear that about FedEx.

the USPS aren't all saints and angels, twice in the last two months, I have received book deliveries (I usually receive 5 a week from the post office, rest from UPS or Fedex) that the box was opened and books removed. I ordered a case of a particular title (30 in a case), half were taken out of the box. The time before 11 copies of a particular book were missing.

Most of our arrests come out of the local UPS facility in town...They're a bunch of gangbanging P.O.S. criminals (IMHO of course) 😉

I've always had better luck with USPS than UPS. UPS takes way too long.

I agree. I have once a week shipping on Friday and when the packages are shipped using USPS priority i get them on Monday. When they are shipped FedEx ground, I get them on Wednesday night or Thursday morning. I have never had a problem with USPS. Dont know why FedEx ground takes so long to deliver.

I once ordered a Wilson volleyball by Fedex. For some reason it never showed up.
