Can not stand FedEx, really have no idea how they are still in business. I ordered a rather pricey bit of custom audio equipment and the builder shipped it FedEx last week..

Their online tracking is a complete and utter farce, first it said delivery by Tuesday 8/10, then it said "Good news! Your package will be early on Saturday 8/7!".. and then MO happened, then KS happened.. and not to be out done, Central CA said hold my beer..

My tracking "details":


I cannot fathom how it takes 17hrs to get from Bakersfield to Stockton (its a 3hr drive), but how the hell does it take 12hrs to get from Stockton to Manteca (literally 20mins apart).. and why the hell does it need to stop in Stockton first, then go to Manteca, why not go directly to Manteca? Idiots.

I have no doubt that I will NEVER receive this package.

NEVER again FedEx, if it has to ship FedEx, I don't need it. /rant

Amazon Prime has the best shipping and tracking of them all.
Last week, one day around noon, I was checking my emails when one came over saying your package has been delivered. It included a pic of the package on my front entryway.
I went to go look...and saw the Prime truck pulling out of the driveway.....Excellent.

No doubt! As I was typing out my FedEx rant the Amazon truck pulled up out front and the driver literally jogged a few small packages up to my front door.. I wish they would just put FedEx out of business already.

FedEx may pull this one out. Have a package that's supposed to arrive today. I was really expecting it to miss and arrive tomorrow, but it shows as "out for delivery."

I just got a FedEx package from Japan! On time!

Well I got email notice it’s delivered. Could be at some other house.

Mark your calendars! I was supposed to get a delivery from FedEx today, and was sure that they'd end up delivering tomorrow. But it's a miracle, my package was delivered fairly early this morning.

So between Vash and myself, that's 2 on time deliveries in one day!

Considering how many packages go through the sort every day/night its a miracle that only a super small amount don't make it on time.. and 90% of those are FDX Ground issues.. Express issues are much rarer..

I've never really had any issues with FedEx ... before yesterday.

I had a local tire shop order in a pair of 295/30/18s. The shop called me on Monday to say they'd arrived, so I set up an appointment to have them installed yesterday afternoon. I called around noon, confirmed the appointment and was about to head over when my phone rang.

Somehow, their FedEx driver, when dropping tires off yesterday, threw my pair on his truck and left. The shop immediately called FedEx but was told there was nothing could be done until the driver had finished his route and returned to their distribution center.

As of about five minutes ago, FedEx had yet to locate the tires.

About five weeks ago, my wife purchased a big patio umbrella from a well known online retailer. The umbrella was shipped within a few days after placing the order. The company emailed her with Fedex tracking information. The item shipped from Fairfield, Ca, which is only 60+ miles south of us. You would think the package would have been delivered to us the following day or two days at the most. Nope. For some inexplicable reason, it traveled to the upper mid western part of the United States before turning around to head back west for its final delivery here in Rocklin.

I thought this was a fluke. Nope. A week and half ago I purchased a few auto parts from a retailer located in Phoenix, Arizona. In the past, I have always counted on a package arriving from them three days after shipment. On Wednesday of last week I received the company's email with a Fedex tracking number. The package was due to arrive Saturday. Fair enough. I checked the delivery status the following day. It indicated that the package was in transit to NM followed by OK, TN, NC, WV, and now it is heading back west as the current status shows the package in OH. The projected delivery day is this Saturday, but I don't think it's going to happen. I can't imagine why these seemingly blunders happen.

FDX Express uses the hub and spoke system so if you ship something from (example) San Diego to LA area, it gets picked up in SD and then sent to one of the hub sorting locations ( probably MEM or IND ) and then gets sent back to the LA area. FDX Ground is completely different but a lot of times, Express will pick up their package at an out station and then it gets trucked back… which is why you see all of the various states it goes though.

Have had an engine stand backordered since May. Item finally shipped two weeks ago tomorrow from Memphis to Atlanta and it has been On truck for delivery status since Saturday (5 days!) with no updated delivery date. Called this morning to change delivery to pick up at FedEx location. Supposed to ready for pick up tomorrow. So Frustrated. The original projected delivery date was 8 days ago.

Same here. I often request online sellers use UPS in the "notes" section. It works sometimes. FedEx is the worst. In my area the drivers mark packages as delivered when they are due then drop them off 2-3 days later. They also lost a set of bumpers I had rechromed a few years ago...how do you lose a huge 80lb box with 2 bumpers in it?

With something that heavy don't be surprised if the box shows up empty with a hole in it.
