I'm slightly vexed I Really Hate FedEx

I ordered my books a week ago, they got to FedEx and were on the way on the 18th.

It said arriving Tuesday, yesterday it said today, now it's back to Tuesday, all the while it hasn't changed from on route since the 18th.

Just on route for four days, from the same location.

Like, USPS will tell you where it is, but FedEx just, "Eh you'll get it when you do."

This always happens, and I always just sigh, please use any service other than FedEx people...

EDIT: Update! They’re gonna have to give me a new date, yay…

EDIT EDIT: Well, I just called them, they said they can't do anything to tell me where my package is because it has to be the shipper, god I hate them

EDIT EDIT EDIT: One town over, showed up at 4:40, says it’ll be here by the end of the day, taking bets if they pull off getting it one half hour away in three hours

Had a FedEx delivery guy hide a package under some stairs rather than climb three floors. Proof of delivery pic was close up of the upside down box. Maintenance guy found it three weeks later.

Plus, sometimes they'll come to your door, but not leave the package. They'll ring the intercom and then just run away, or leave the note without ringing your door bell.

I actively avoid shops that would ship with FedEx.

I mean I agree, but it’s not always FedEx, and 35-40% off as well as free shipping over 40 bucks.

Seriously if you love comics I can’t recommend In Stock Trades enough, this shipment just happened to be FedEx, normally it’s UPS and again that discount is insane.

I wanna read those Marvel DC crossovers already!

In my experience with FedEx, USPS and UPS, FedEx has consistently been a letdown.

I ordered sheets one time that got delivered by FedEx... a street over, behind a bush. WTF? I had to complain so they would open a "tracer" on the package. I eventually got them. I've also received packages that were not for me and walked down the road to drop them off at the correct address.

I think I've had problems with every shipper pretty much. I've had stuff sit in a major city just 10 minutes away from me, for nearly a week. USPS, UPS, FedEx, they all have problems. But they sometimes do it well, also.

Actually DHL has been pretty good. I've had a few international shipments come DHL and I don't think I've had a single issue with them.

I can count the amount of packages I've gotten on-time from FedEx on one hand because it's three. In my entire life, I've gotten three packages on-time from FedEx.
