And I’m sitting here in a tiny rural village with the word “Indian” in its name.

[and the WMA land is named that, too...yikes]

Last week I sat and watched the FedEx guy fumble around with the unlocked padlock hanging in the gate latch for a good 5 minutes.

Not being able to figure out that he only had to slide it out of the latch hole, he put my package of electronics over the fence onto the grass.

We were expecting to rain so I ran out and rescued it.

Better than that was the female driver who showed up during a cold winter sleet downpour and rather than getting out and putting the package on the porch like she was supposed to, she yelled from her truck, would I mind catching it if she threw it out her open door.

It was a pricey laptop.

Then there’s the tale of a $10K money order they “lost” for 30 days and a “24 hour ship” live Ball Python morph who came from GA to MD via TN/VA/PA/NJ/PA/MD in 3 days...in the middle of winter.

Not surprisingly, he arrived here cold as ice with a URI.

Great company.

I’ve felt for years they should change their name to:
“D.C.REDSKINS”

I got a misdelivered plane ticket one time and was told “don’t worry about it” when I asked about getting it back to them.

I hope whoever it was got on their plane.

Annnnnnnd isn’y it about time that the New England Patriots change their name since patriotism now is slurred as being synonymous with racism?

How can teh corporations stand by???

None of this matter last year or even for the past 10 years but NOW it is all important!

Reminds me of when FedEx contributed $500,000 to the Obama campaign. I posted that with a link many times back then.

The Washington Brownskins would be more appropriate.

What other shipping company would you suggest?

Teamster-infested UPS? The company who managed to take two weeks to deliver a package to me, a distance of 50 miles, only after wasting hours of my time on the phone trying to find out where it was? The company that recently delivered two packages to me with holes punctured in the cartons?

Or maybe you prefer the USPS.

“FedEx paid $205 million for the naming rights of FedEx Field.”

Stockholders of FedEx should be asking if this expenditure paid out with enough incremental profit to justify the expense. Highly unlikely. Another example of the the replacement of free market capitalism with markets controlled by oligopolies allied with big government.
