First of all, I use nothing but UPS when I ship because there is a UPS Store here in town. The nearest Fedex ground/Home delivery terminal is about 1 hour away. Sure fedex may save you a couple dollars per package, but they screw up all the time. Out of the last 10 times I have received packages via fedex, at least 4 of those times they either lose my package or put it on the wrong truck and it ends up at the wrong terminal or they say the barcode is unreadable and it sits for a day or 2 before they replace it. I'm just tired of all their fvckups!! UPS does not have this many problems.
Right now I'm waiting on a ball from Ike that was shipped on 6/28/06 and it was scheduled to be delivered today 7/5/06. Thats already a long transit time. Now this morning I tracked it and it ended up going to Raleigh NC instead of Greenville NC. Raleigh is less than 45 minutes from me but my packages usually come from Geenville. I called fedex to see why it was in Raleigh. It was put on the wrong truck. I asked if I could just come pick it up and they tell me no. They are gonna put it back on another truck and pass right by my city and take it another hour on the other side of me to Greenville and then greenville will deliver it 2 days later.
New delivery date will be 7/7/06.Like I said, this is about the 4th time I have had problems with fedex out of the last 10 times. I have grown to hate them with a passion!
Has anyone else ever had this many problems with them?

Sorry to hear of your issues with Fed Ex; I'm very fortunate that I've only had one issue with them (ball arrived damaged and I'm working through the claim process now).

UPS, meanwhile, has given me problems on a whopping total of two shipments in 16 years. FedEx has messed up somewhere between a third and a half of everything I've shipped/received. Go UPS if at all possible.

How do you figure? UPS tracks their packages and know where their at at all times too. UPS does'nt seem to have a problem keeping the labels on their boxs. Maybe b/c they don't throw them around and run over them with the trucks?

I don't know about all that, but I know UPS still tracks all their stuff even when its on the UPS trucks from terminal to terminal until it says on truck out for delivery and as soon as they leave the package at the residence it will say deliverd.

There is always a possibility of having problems with any courier you pick, regardless if its UPS, Fed Ex or DHL. The only one I never use is the US Mail.
To me its not that big of a deal if something is a couple days late, as long as it gets to me undamaged. Thats whats important to me..

There are exceptions to all rules. The vast majority of packages arrive on time from all the carriers. Everyone experiences issues. What separates FEDEX from everyone else is the fact that they track the packages and know where they are at all times. No other carrier does this. Sure if the lable comes off or the box is damaged (and I believe a 15 lbs ball inside a weak box might cause freguent damage). I have shipped many single balls from several carriers and have experienced these issues. But when I ship a 4 ball box, I have never experienced an issue with FEDEX. I once shipped a $1000 amp from a certified dealer using UPS overnight and it took 3 weeks and I had to drive to the truck 30 miles away because no one from UPS could find my address and I get mail everyday.
Yes, and I believe that the exception is when they DO deliver on time and in good condition.
Out of the five balls I have had shipped to me by fed-ex ( f'ing-ex if you ask me!), one got here when it was supposed to. Two were sent to the wrong city and took 3 extra days to get to me, one was two weeks late because they couldn't find it, and the last one never got here. I live in East Texas and they found the EMPTY box on the loading dock in SEATTLE WASHINGTON! That was a bit odd, being as it was coming from St. Louis. What damn plane did they put it on to get to Washington state instead of Texas?
Like the original poster said, If the shipper is using fed-ex, I will request an alternative shipper. If the answer is no, THEN I DO NOT BUY!

Well fedex told me earlier today that I could not come and pick the package up in Raleigh and that they were gonna put it on a truck to Greenville which is the terminal that actually delivers back to me. Well Geenville is southeast of Raleigh by about 1-1/2 hours. I just checked the tracking again and they put it on a truck and took it back to Durham!! That is heading back northwest

Like I said, I have used fed ex ground exclusively for about 2 years and had 3 or 4 small problems (delay in shipment) and I have had UPS Ground lose 2 balls shipped to me and I mean completely lose them.. Thats NEVER happened with Fed ex for me..
ALL of the delivery companies have a chance of screwing up and like I said before, if a ball is delayed a day or so, whats the big deal..

I have shipped over 100 packages (and probably received another 50 or so) the past 2 years with fed ex ground and had 4 minor mishaps, no lost packages and no damaged items. I have had several bad experiences with UPS ground (both shipping and receiving) and 1 with DHL. I am sorry, its just a fact of life that mistakes are gonna happen with ALL COURIERS!!
I could also care less if Fed ex gives a rats azz about me or not.. I have an account with them and thats it.. I don't own any fed ex stock or anything like that!! LOL..

UPS Service is definitely better. Way better. To this day, I have never had a problem with a single UPS delivery to my residence, but I can't say the same for Fed-EX. Two out of the last three packages delivered by Fed-EX that I was supposed to receive at my residence, were delivered to another house with the same numerical but different street address on a different street. Go figure.....

The majority that posted here have had numerous problems with fedex. Some have had problems with UPS but far less. If UPS screws something up, they are more willing to look into it and figure out whats going on for you. Fedex tells you the smae thing you already know and nothing more. They don't seem to care if continue to use their service or not.

I could not agree with you more... having 1 package get mis-routed should not be a big deal and bashing fed ex isn't going to fix his problem or make people stop using fed ex, but I do understand his frustrations.. My point was this same issue could be happening right now if the package was sent using UPS ground.. Stuff like this is bound to happen when thousands of packages get sent everyday all over the world..
I do agree with you on fed ex ground being cheaper than UPS ground and faster to most areas..
This has been a Fed Ex bash post, but I am not running out and changing over to UPS because of this, I do know that.. LOL..
quote:
I started using FedX ground due to the cost. Much cheaper for me. I guess this is just turning into a Bash party against FEDX, and not to deny problems some have had the vast majority of shipments make it and faster than UPS and Cheaper, for me its worth the difference in price. I just think this post is a cheap shot, as if this fellow legend4life has the last word on the matter. Its just petty. But he will go on blah blah FEDX @@##$$%%^^&&%#! done me wrong! zzzzzzzzz. So if its worth another five bucks per ball go ahead and use UPS then all your troubles will be solved once again your life will be just one sweet song after another.

OK, they did screw up by putting it on the wrong truck to Raleigh...HOWEVER, the rest of your rant about the long delivery time is unfounded. REMEMEBER, this was a HOLIDAY WEEK/WEEKEND...if it shipped on the 28th, it was only in transit through the 30th and then sat on a truck or in a warehouse somewhere until after the 4th of July holiday...not there fault for the long delivery, it was shipped at a bad time...would have happened using UPS, USPS, or any other shipping company. Just a little something to think about...

Harry, I don't like to disagree with a friend and fellow Okie, but even though I agree that Fed-EX is cheaper, if you will go back and read my post you will see that to me, as far as I am concerned, they are not better. I am more than willing to pay UPS a few more bucks and have the excellent delivery to my residence as well as fast-on time shipments they have always given me vs the recent problems I have had with Fed-EX that I pointed out in my post a few posts above yours. A one time error by Fed-EX I can understand, but 2 out of the last three deliveries I find unacceptable.

A couple day delay in receiving a package is nothing to get upset and bash a company about.. Slowness in delivery could happen (and does) with ALL couriers but that doesn't mean they s*ck. With this just being a holiday weekend and them being off 1 day means they have 2 days of packages they need to get somewhere in 1 day. I personally totally understand that. Fed Ex employees deserve a day off just like all of us did. To post something like that after 1 package gets delayed is ridiculous IMO, but to each his own.. If you have proof (and not here say) that this has happened multiple times, thats a different story..
Fed Ex is not perfect and either is UPS or the US Mail.. The bottom line for me is this.. Did I receive my package safely? Thats the most important thing to me..

Let Fed Ex know the issues you have been having with the Ground Service. If we all chip in, they might actually do something. They have seen my companies numbers go down in the past year, and they have definitely started taking notice.
Obviously you have never called their customer service. I could imagine that call would go something like this:
dial 1800gofedex and spend 5 minutes navigating through phone menus
wait 10 minutes on hold
FedEx: Your call may be monitored for quality assurance... Welcome to FedEx, can I have your last name?
Customer: Smith
FedEx: Mr Smith what can we do for you today?
Customer: I would like to notify you of poor service during my last fifteen shipments.
FedEx: I'm sorry Mr Smith, only our Tennessee office handles complaints, you will have to call them.
Customer: Can you connect me to the Tennessee office?
FedEx: No, I'm sorry.
Customer: Can you give me their phone number?
*Repeat steps first 6 lines*
FedEx: I don't really know what to tell you Mr Smith. FedEx strives to give all of its customers the best possible service.
Customer: Then how did 5 out of my last 15 packages get damaged or lost?
FedEx: I don't really know what to tell you Mr Smith. FedEx strives to give all of its customers the best possible service.
Customer: I hope this call was monitored because your customer service is horrible.
FedEx: Is there anything else we can help you with today?

Jim, I agree and support you on this statement. You are 100% right in what you said here. However, due to the problems I have had with Fed-EX, one of which I pointed out in a post here, I will have to lean towards giving my business to UPS even though the cost is a few dollars more, but to bash any company whether it is Fed-EX or UPS for a day or two delay in a delivery because of a holiday week-end is wrong. I would have to support Fed-EX on this one issue, but can't support them on messing up for me recently as I pointed out in my post.

Well I received the package today and what do you know....they damaged the ball. The ball was wrapped in plastic bag and then double boxed. It looks as if someone hit the box with the claw of a hammer and it penetrated both boxes and left about a 1 inch long gash deeper than resurfacing will fix. It will have to be plugged to fix. Thanks fedex!

I understand your upset, but no need to bash harry and myself over opinions we made.. I was just explaining that I personally have been very happy with fed ex and not very happy with ups. You are free to use whoever you want for shipping but this could have happened with ups or dhl for that matter. It was just a bad experience with fed ex ground.. NO one is perfect and once again, sorry this unfortanate situation happened to you..

No harm done. I was just more surprised with Harrys responses than anything. I have dealt with both of you guys here and thought he had more class than what his posts showed. oh well.

they suck!!!
honestly being in Canada and buying from the USA the best way to go is usps, much less customs crap and this comes from experience, Haven't had any major issues with UPS except outrageous custom brokerage fees.

I just looked up how far from my house to Terre Haute is, its another 89 miles or 2 hours by mapquest. I have an fedex account, but with the way they handled this, I am leaning towards UPS.

Today is the 31st...hasn't been updated since last Wednesday and somehow I am very skeptical that it won't be arriving on time (expected to be delivered tomorrow). I'm going to take a shot in the dark here and say that its lost/damaged...

As for Home Depot over Lowe's I don't think so. Being an avid person into home improvement I can tell you that HOME DEPOT SUCKS. They have some decent floor help and prices are a little lower then Lowe's but thier check out clerks suck balls. Also, their nursery is very lame and basic compared to Lowe's.

Fed ex and UPS and the US mail and DHL ALL make mistakes and mis-route packages. Its a fact of life people.... AS long as the package arrives safely, thats what is most important...
I understand its frustrating but slamming a company over over for this makes no sense to me.....
If you look at the % of packages that are mis-routed and/or delivered late, its a very small % of the total packages that are delivered on time...
I know that nobody cares about all the packages delivered on time (or early), they just care that their package is late... I understand that, just making a point, thats all...

I know one thing, I applied for a job to work at Fedex and the interviewers tell you how difficult a package handling job is. I've heard of a few people getting fired from that place by putting packages on the wrong truck. Everybody I've heard who works for UPS has said that the job is a piece of cake. UPS seems to not only treat their employees right, but also their customers.
I did not get the job btw.
