UPS/Fed-Ex

[K9karen]

Gee, no problem here. If I order stuff online, I add "Leave on porch if nobody home", and they do, right in front of the door.
If they see a car, they knock and leave the item unless I have to sign. We're UPS/FedEx city on my block for some reason.

No issue with them bouncing stuff to test it. But they just put it by the door, no knock, doorbell or notice at the mailbox -- which they have to pass. Some use the front door, most use the side door.

I've found stuff after a day or 2 of it sitting at the front door. At the side door, we use that twice per day but if they deliver after Dad comes home at 4:30 or so, it sits until next morning.

Our regular UPS driver is great.


Our regular FedEx driver is a miserable hooman.


Enjoy one, deal with the other.

No problems with either one. We're on first name basis with both of them

I live in a condo complex in a security building. Both Fed-Ex and UPS used to call me from downstairs to see if I was home and if not they'd leave a message if I wasn't home. They don't do this any more. They'll leave notices on my mailbox. Some times they left the package outside on top of the mail boxes where any one walking down the street could've stolen it. They've also managed to get into my building and left a package in front of my door which is more secure but it could've been stolen without my knowledge.

Lately I've had my packages delivered to me at work which works out much better for me any way. My roommate received a notice from Fed-Ex and called them and they told her that they'd call her on her cell phone the next day and let her know when they'd be delivering the package again. She later found another notice on the mailbox. She was home the whole time and no one tried to knock or call. She ended up picking up the package herself.

I don't have problems with them, but I do notice that they leave packages on the porch- outside- rather than inside the porch. I don't get that. If this is some 'rule', then I wonder why they choose to follow this one but ignore some other rule (like leaving the notice card with the package for me to sign and return the next day.....).

I don't have problems with either. I miss my UPS delivery guy at the job I used to have; he was so nice and friendly!

Now for a joke:

If the UPS truck and FedEX truck collided, would they be called FEDUP???!!!??? An oldy but always a goody!
