I’ve noticed that they give an expected delivery time of weeks from now so when it show up before that they can call it early.

It’s a world wide thing. Global logistical backlog. It’s going to get worse.

Not us. FedEx is usually at the door before my wife hangs up the phone.

Are you not paying attention to what is happening in the global economy?

There is a shortage of workers in every industry. That is a contributing factor to the supply chain breakdown that is getting worse and worse.

With regard to deliveries, all services (FedEx, UPS, DHL, etc) are all having problems.

UPS is the problem here in Upstate NY.

We are trying to avoid using FedEx. They “delivered” a 42 pound office machine to a nonexistent address. When queried, they said they hired a bunch of new drivers but didn’t have time to train them on their routes. The addressee was a major international corporation with a big sign on the building, Jimenez and visible to all

FedEx also managed to break the contents of two (!) Walmart shipments, rendering them unusable.

We have had a few items delivered okay by FedEx but we just can’t trust them

I had a bucket of hyd fluid take an extra 10 days. Some other parts came a few days late but the guy showed up in a Budget rental van... His had broken down. I also notice that it says “delivered” but may come 1-3 days after that... But I’m kinda far from town.

I just had a Fedex package come from FL to MO in a few days.

Had a usps package take two weeks from OH to MO.

It’s all a crap shoot these days.

Didn’t you hear? You have to swim out to the boats that are being held up and look in the crates.

FedEX is by far the least reliable shipper in the biz.

We just had a package delivered to our house that was for someone else, somehow got labeled wrong.

It took three phone calls and a week and a half for them to come and get it. They kept promising it would be picked up that day, the day we made the call, but never happened.

With the exception of Fed Ex’s early delivery to neighbors with home offices, regular afternoon Fed Exis not dependable in our area.

So, we avoid them if we can. Some of Amazon’s non prime deliveries take forever if they are on Fed Ex. Amazon will often show a 2-3 week spread re estimated delivery on non prim deliveries.

My packages are either a day late, sit at some distribution center for 2 or 3 days and usually come in boxes that are beat all to hell. Fed Ex sucks.

FedEx, UPS, and USPS all routinely mis-route packages, causing delays. I’ve had packages coming from Ohio to Alabama make it to Nashville, then go to Virginia then back to Nashville before finally making it to Huntsville.

They’re all a bunch of clowns, monkeys and idiots. Count yourself lucky when a package makes it to you on time and undamaged.

Last couple of Fed ex shipments have been at least 2 days late in the last couple of weeks.

All the time with FedEx. Delivery tracking will commonly show by end of day X and then, suddenly change to the next day, sometimes for 5 or more days in a row.
