^^^ Honestly...I've never had a package of mine delivered to the wrong house.
Envelopes delivered by USPS...yes, and it's always the next house on his route. (I think he realizes he missed my place and sticks it in the next one, instead of turning back)...I can't blame him.

My luck hasn’t been too bad. In the past nine months, I’ve ordered 25-50 packages from FCP and 99% of them have either been delivered on time or early via FedEx.

What’s frustrating with Amazon and whoever they use, is I’ll get a notification that nobody is home and they can’t deliver it. I’m either sitting in the house or somebody is.🤬

^^^ Are you requesting a signature on the deliveries?
I've never had a problem with Amazon delivering. Most of the time...no one is home here. And they still deliver to either my front porch or in my garage.

I've never had an issue with FedEx. They always deliver on time and intact. UPS will usually deliver on time but the condition of the package may or may not look like it was drop shipped from 30K feet from above my house.

Now USPS...never on time. Ever. Ordered a part for my DD last week. Was sent from Colorado. Supposed to be delivered to me in Michigan on Monday. It is currently sitting in Puerto Rico. Why?

Last month I received my Otter Box via FedEx 2 and half years after it was shipped!

I'm in Canada employed by a US company. My cell phone is a corporate device. I needed a new phone in Jan of 2019. The company protects their assets, in this case with an Otter Box. The vendor sent one out; I never received it, so they sent out another which I got. Last month the "first" Otter Box showed up; yep shipped Feb 2019 delivered Aug 2021.

No signature required. The last time it happened, I had the package shipped to work, which is a model home that had three agents just inside the full glass front door. They said he walked up to the door, turned around and left. I got a text that the package could not be delivered, because nobody was home. I went to the model and the agents said he returned with the package. A few minutes later, I got a text saying the package has been delivered.

Well, its been another 8 days since I posted this and still no package. After calling 8 days ago to request to pick up at FedEx location when I was told is would be ready for pickup after 1 business day - crickets. Called again 2 days ago. They put a trace on the pkg and I've heard nothing. Gonna have to call again. Unbelievable!

Two overnight letters coming from BMW. Financial in Ohio. One was shipped Tuesday and the other Wednesday, both by FedEx, both lost.

Just got off phone with FedEx customer service who confirms that "your item appears to have been lost". Contact Seller.

A930Rocket · 09-11-2021, 07:29 PM

So much for my good luck. Ordered something on the seventh with two day delivery. Today’s the 11th and no joy.

mthomas58 · 09-15-2021, 02:47 PM

Notified Amazon that package was lost and received notification that a refund has been submitted for processing two days ago. Today I received a text from FedEx that my pkg has arrived at a local FedEx center. So it looks like I may be getting my engine stand for free! What a cluster!

Today marks day 30 since the original expected delivery date and still no package. Now sitting in "Operational Delay Status" with expected delivery "Next Business Day" Really?

Blackhole discovered in the United States

Scientists today announced that they found evidence of the first ever black hole located in the United States. "We are excited to announce that we have discovered evidence of a black hole located in the United States, in the town of Troutdale, Oregon." - unnamed scientist. Fortunately scientists also discoved that the impact of this black hole is relatively minor. "We see that the only objects unable to escape this phenomina are packages shipped via FedEx" - Unnamed spokesperson. As of this time it is unknown if this black hole is a permament object or if the effects will dispate over time. The only solution to avoid impact is to ship pakces via other companies.

Delivery guys can either park at the end of my short sidewalk and take a package to the front door (covered porch so protected from rain)...or they can drive into my back driveway (rear entry garage) and get a few steps closer to my back door stairs (uncovered). Despite the sign on my back door saying "Please leave packages at the front door" the idiots from Fed Ex always leave them at the back (except when they leave them at other people's houses) They don't care if it is about to rain or pouring rain. Lots of time I am gone away for a few weeks and they sit out there in the rain...day after day. Thanks FedEx.

On 9/30 I received another text update " Shipment Exception - Cannot locate recipient" then "Returning package to shipper - Unable to deliver shipment".

A 40 day circus. Utter Incompetence!

Reordered through Amazon again and this time the item is coming via UPS!!!

My main FedEx delivery person puts packages in a large plastic bag if it might rain. I got a good one.

I was expecting two items yesterday, one via UPS and one via FedEx. Neither showed up. But I'm much luckier (fingers crossed) as both items show as "on vehicle for delivery."

One is coming from Amazon. The Amazon warehouse that it shipped from is 50 miles east of me. Usually our UPS stuff goes through the UPS hub in Austin which is ~70 miles north. Yesterday, the status said that it was in San Antonio which is about 120 miles west. Today it says that it dispatched out of Austin.
