UPS sucks that bad?

[02greyGT]

Fedex took 3 days

You sir are correct. The day sort and delivery drivers out of AFWH took tues-fri off. Night sort ran, but we are more so planes. We had a bunch of planes not show up, and tuesday we had planes on the ground from monday night. Friday our truck night we didn't even run the night sort.

Has everyone bitching about UPS and FedEx forgot those local news videos last week that seemed to always show FedEx twin trailer rigs stuck in ice on Dallas-area freeways?

They actually pulled them off the road after the last one on the news last week. It was stupid to have those guys out on that shit.



Also when you call the Fed-Ex hotline remember those are just call center employees. They are under a contract from someone like aegis. They have have never even seen the inside of a Fed-Ex building. I think the newest one opened up in the eastern TN area.

I've been waiting a few days for an overdue package to come via USPS.

Stevo

same... a lot of my shipments have been late... through all three carriers. I chalked it up to weather issues

[stevo]

Since this weekend is supposed to be nice weather-wise, I was hoping my bushings would show up before then so I could get some suspension work done on my Jeep.
Not looking too likely though.

Never had a problem with FedEx, and just received my package from USPS yesterday, but my package shipped UPS from Cali has been sitting for 3 days due to "adverse weather conditions" and hasn't had an update since then. When you call UPS, all they say is that they will continue shipping operations once the weather clears... what weather? Anyone else have packages stuck because these fuckwads cant drive?

no joke. i purchased something from amazon.com, monday night. i paid almost $20 for overnight shipping. it came to the mesquite tx. HUB next day and stayed there for 2 days, "due to bad whether" MY ASS. by 1pm tuesday it was sonny no ice,
those mother fuckers. should work as a wall-mart cashier, with that kind of lack of urgency,

think it could be possible that they were backed up DUE TO WEATHER? you know... that weather that backed them up prior to Tuesday?

Have you ever just wanted to mail some random person a box of shit?

I ordered something from coach for the girlfriend as a Valentine's day present. Shipped on Monday, FROM FT. WORTH(I'm in Denton bout 30 minutes away) and did not get here until today. What the hell? I'm right down 35!

UPS had my EOtech 512 held hostage for a week. It was shipped from Houston last Monday with a delivery day of last Tuesday. Shit did not get here until Monday of this week. Everyday last week it showed "On truck for delivery by end of day" and everyday around 8pm they would just exception code the shit out of it. UPS sucks far larger nuts than either the USPS or FedEx.

USPS delivered EVERY SINGLE DAY the weather was bad here in Denton. Also got my BCM M16 BCG in 3 days from Wisconsin. Now that's service.

Oh, I guess Fed Ex and USPS dont operate in the US or anywhere with adverse weather then, because they seem to be on time with all my packages so far...

so you're assuming that that means that all recent FedEx and USPS shipments have been on time just because yours have?

mine haven't! LOL

Mine and most in this thread. Suckage is relative too...

Just got the wife's anniversary gift tonight from UPS. Those bastards stopped at the end of my driveway, got out and threw the box against my drive gate and drove off. Fortunately, I'm paranoid and saw the headlights but this is ridiculous.

[Cooter]

they've all got levels of suck... I try not to use UPS if possible. I never ship via UPS, but sometimes that's how packages arrive. I prefer FedEx, but sometimes will do USPS Priority so that I don't have to drive 30min to drop off FedEx (I live in a little hick town)

Freight company I use to work for is wayyyy backed up, they've got line haul drivers that are doing runs to closer cities like Abilene doing 2 trips a night instead of 1, apparently there are skids of freight stacked 3 pallets high all the way across the dock, and you have to drive all the way around the dock to get to the other side because there is nowhere to cross, the people who are making it in to work are working 14 hour days,etc.

Shit happens, weather like this ends some people's careers. So just wait for your package like everybody else.

Yup, my FED EX package just sat in Ft. Worth again yesterday.
It has been in Ft. Worth since the 2nd(9 days now).
I have called and pretty much begged them to let me come pick it up, but they won't give me the terminal's number and each time I call, they state that they cannot reach the terminal and confirm whether my package is there or not because the terminal isn't answering their phones.
Being patient sucks!
