LOL @ FedEx. When they have a set date, they make sure it doesn't make it earlier

Arctucas · Jul 7, 2009

When I check my package tracking and see that sort of thing, I call the local depot and ask if I can pick it up there. FedEx has always allowed me to pick it up, UPS has never allowed me to pick up.

According to my brother who works for FedEx at a local DC:
-FedEx was closed on July 3rd- including sort facilities/DCs
-FedEx delivery drivers did not make deliveries on July 3rd
-independent contractors who are hired to make deliveries for FedEx have the option to make deliveries on observed holidays (explains why some ppl would get deliveries and some would not)
-the tracking info getting updated to show a delivery on July 3rd was a computer error

The situation still seems weird though.

LOL.

Well i use UPS normally.

Same thing happened to me too with fedex. They should have delivered it friday. They didn't deliver monday. I am still waiting for thier slow a$$es to deliver it today. Man I hate fedex with a passion. UPS is so much better.

Fedex is really horrible. Its taken them over a week for me to get package that was shipped from only 400 miles away. What a joke. I could drive that in about 6 hours. And I still haven't received my package.

that is because they are busy making sure other people's packages make it on time. the world doesnt revolve around you :toast:

i didn't say it did. USPS would have had the package to me by thursday last week and would have cost less. I didn't know that the company I purchased my video card from was going to ship card via fedex. I probably would have taken my business elsewhere if I would have known.

don't get me started on USPS :laugh:

I have no problem with USPS so far. They are cheaper and sometimes quicker. Also, if you ship, they give you free boxes, and free pickup.

The boxes arn't free. Part of the cost of the flat rate shipping is for the boxes. You can only use the "free" boxes for Priority flat rate shipping.

Thats weird because I use it all the time for priority mail. I just order the boxes online and they ship it to me free.

That isn't true at all. In both of these cases, in the thread, Ground service was used. There is not "early" with ground service. The dates are all estimated, it gets there when it gets there.

If you upgrade your service to guaranteed service, such as 3 day or 2nd day. Then if it gets there early, it is deliveried. Almost everything I order from newegg is shipped UPS 3rd Day, and it almost always arrives after 2 days. And I can ship something from where I live in Northern Indiana, down to my Girlfriend's Parents right outside of Indy via UPS ground, and it will get there the next day.

UPS Ground is a guaranteed service. For example: since IN is 2 days away from newegg's main shipping center in TN you will always have a guaranteed delivery date 2 days from when its shipped. It doesnt matter if you use 2 day or 3 day or ground service. If it gets to your local delivery center early they will hold it until your delivery date.

UPS Ground Shipping

No matter what service level you use, UPS will give you a guaranteed date so you know in advance exactly when your shipment will arrive. It seems silly that they wont deliver it early but if you understand their system it makes sense. Using the same example above: You really only have two options when getting something shipped from newegg's TN center; either next day air or ground which will get your package to you in 1 or 2 days respectively guaranteed.

Well, UPS tried to deliver my package early but the guy wasn't there to sign for it. So, UPS doesn't hold onto the package if the package comes in early.

On July 3rd, UPS picked up my package and it was scheduled to be delivered on Wednesday. Via UPS 3 day select.

But it came in early and they tried to deliver it on Tuesday. But no one was there to sign for it. Hopefully, the guy at least signs the slips and post it on the door or something. It costed my 90 bucks to ship this thing.

I always use usps to ship things. Why? I dunno... I just do.

Binge · Jul 8, 2009

Christ... I just bought something off of an e-tailer and he sends me an e-mail asking for $10.50 shipping. I thought 3 day priority or UPS, but NO it's freaking take 3 weeks FedEx. How the hell... grrr....
