FedEx and UPS: Your world (not) on time.

If I was UPS, this would be in a commercial.

"We want to race the truck."

ROTFL...I saw this in class...a few of my fellow students in our adult graduate program are UPS Management and they were passing it around....pretty fun stuff!

Fed Ex Driver: Man, I was trying to make my delivery and that UPS driver just ran me off the road!

[Larry Lucido]

FedEx guarantees one-day turnover.

Looks like UPS won the first round.

Was the UPS driver's name Oswald?

[Larry Lucido]

Can't forget this, of course....

Wilson!!!!!

It appears the better men and women won. FedEx really stinks around here. If companies won't send stuff by UPS or if they insist on FedEx and no one else, I don't buy from them. This is hilarious. I'm going to give to all my neighbors who will agree with this statement.

I've always found the FedEx name rather comical almost like having a disease. (Bizarre humor resulting from various MAD magazines.) Imagine going around saying "you've been Fedex'd!" or "I've got Fedex'd!" Almost like saying "you've been VD'd!" or "I've got AIDS!"

Both FEDEX and UPS suck in USA . On the other hand , UPS in Japan first rate no problems always on time and they deliver / pick up on Saturdays and Sundays !

In this part of Michigan, it's just the opposite.
The dumb UPs driver just enters the property and gives your parcel a toss!
It gets real interesting in winter.
We're talking country living here!
I've found stuff in the back of my truck which I may not have even driven for a few days, outside my basement door, beside the garage...not even consistant! It's like playing hide and seek if I'm expecting anything.
Fortunately , I was home when my computer came. He was going to leave it at the bottom of the steps in the snow and I told him NOT if he expected me to sign for it.
I far prefer the regular post office delivery.
Even though our mailbox is 1/4 mile long, the letter-carrier always brings anything too big for the box back to the house and honks to let me know it's there.

At least the Fed-Ex'ers don't go on strike every other year :OP

"Even though our mailbox is 1/4 mile long..."

Wow!
We don't even have any that big here in Texas!

Priority mail is actually pretty fast, and if I need to ship something, the post office lobby is open 24x7, so I can print up a $3.85 stamp using the vending machine, stick it on a flate-rate priority mail envelope, and drop it in the mail slot.

Although I'm very happy with my current UPS man, I've had some real doozies in the past. Thought I was gonna come to blows with one about a year ago. He was standing in the truck literally throwing my boxes (computer monitors) out onto the concrete parking lot. I asked him to take it easy and he looked at me like I was crazy. He utterly REFUSED to apologize. I called the hub and told them if they were smart they'd see that he never set foot on my property again. As soon as I started describing the behavior, they knew who I was calling about. They've been putting up with such for years and don't fire him.

By contrast, I've never ever had a problem with FedEx.

All the value of .37 cents for a cost of 3.85!!!
They still lose billions.
