Jeez, FedEx and UPS will find any excuse not to deliver...

That is all.

I run an e-commerce company. This is the bane of my existence. They are very far from the UPS and FedEx of old. So few people and companies take pride in their work anymore or strive to be the best at what they do. It used to be an arms race between UPS and FedEx to be the best. Now it’s a race to increase pricing and reduce service levels. Sorry, rant over 🤣
 
I've not had any issues with UPS here ... yet. Fedex has been pretty bad. The local P.O. around the holidays started with a notification saying "not deliverable" or "no access" on Fridays or Saturdays, but the phantom blockade was always ok come Monday and things got delivered.
 
UPS has always been the most reliable around here. FedEx will make up stuff...like gate locked (where there is no gate), flood, (where there is no.flood), dark of night etc.

USPS is generally reliable except for when they decide to leave packages on top of or below rural mailboxes which are about 3/8 mile from the house.
That's damned annoying. But FedEx left my neighbor's package under his mailbox last week. Friggin' b.s.

Here too. I get “no access to driveway.” Hahaha!!! Well how am I getting in and out then?

Delivery guy must be on a bicycle. 🤣😂
 
Same. I ordered some plumbing parts from Home Depot. For whatever reason they shipped them in four separate boxes. They require a phone number to order. I’ve gotten 16 texts so far about the package being delayed and ect.At first I was blaming the east coast weather, but none of the parts even came from that far away.

Which FedEx service? It matters, because FedEX Home is made up of independent drivers who are finding it difficult making enough money driving their routes.

That's true. Chewy uses FedEx Ground. (Sometimes Home Delivery will swap with Ground locally, in my experience.)

That said, don't screw around with people's pets' needs.
