Up until about 6 months ago or so, in my area FedEx was the best of the delivery services in my area by far. Granted, I know that whichever service is best tends to vary from region to region. But, whenever I saw that my package was getting delivered via FedEx, I was generally glad to know it.
In my area, UPS is the shady shit-show that would totally pull some bullshit like this. UPS will open my mailbox and put packages in there (which is illegal in the USA). UPS will claim my package is delivered and then 3 days later, USPS delivers it. They have some kind of agreement with USPS to deliver the last mile, but UPS tracking literally shows the packages as delivered the moment they turn it over to the USPS. UPS will furiously beep the horn outside my bedroom window until I go to the front door to see what's going on, and then have ME dig through their truck to find my own package. Anyway, I'm ranting now, as is the custom for men my age and in my condition.
USPS is just a whole other paradigm of unfathomably terrible shit show. Okay, I'll stop. I have a problem.
Point is, FedEx used to be the best of shitty lot, so I wonder why they've suddenly and drastically gotten so bad as of late.
It's always them lol
I had similar with Hermes/EVRI, they were so bad and just refused to do the most basic things. Visible doorbell? Nope! Gonna ignore it, pretend you aren't in and won't even deliver the parcel to a neighbour, just take it with them. They're making more work for themselves.
