Thread: UPS/Fed-Ex

  1. #31
    The supervisors are supposed to do route audits, ride alongs, and shadow the carriers periodically.

    They are pushing to get GPS trackers in the vehicles so they don't have to do that anymore.

    Do these restrictions apply to all carriers? Ours is a rural route; the carrier delivers in a car. The mailboxes are at the head of the street - one half mile from our house. When there is a package too big to put in the box - and we have the big boxes - the carrier drives down the street, into the driveway, beeping the horn. If we are home, we go out to get the package; otherwise the carrier gets out of the car, and puts the package on our front porch. Is that against the rules?

    Yep. The carrier should leave a note in the box for pickup at the PO.

    So far I have never had a problem with either one of them. They always knock at my door before leaving the pkg. If I'm home to answer the door, they hand me the pkg.

That way you don't have to go to UPS to get your package.

    Fed Ex is not good. We are one of the last stops on the route. The building numbers get mixed up and the street in the townhouse development east of us has the same name as our condo complex, which is very confusing. Fed Ex only comes 3 days per week, so if something is delivered incorrectly it's a problem.

    We just got a new mail carrier a couple of months ago. I don't know what happened to our former mail carrier, who was terrific; but the new person is still getting adjusted. It can't be easy because our mailboxes and our unit numbers are different.
    I just learned that Fed Ex only comes if they are called for a pickup or if there is a package to deliver. That may be part of why we have had problems with Fed Ex, less familiar with the complex than our UPS driver.
