Had a similar experience with a UPS driver several years ago. I was one flight of stairs up, and had a heavy package. I was sitting on the couch right by the front door. No knock, no bell, but I thought I heard something so I got up to check. In time to see the driver pulling away and find the tag on my door. Lazy driver didn’t feel like hauling my box up. But, when I called UPS and told them what happened, they had the driver come back with my package. THAT’s why I like UPS.

I have had something similar happen except they did leave a tag…but I was home all day!! I was purposely listening for them all day long. When I went out to get the mail later I found the tag.

Another time a package had been delivered to my neighbors house – yet the tracking information showed it was delivered to MY HOUSE. Check the addresses people!

I feel your pain. It sounds like your Fed Ex person just doesn’t want to bother herself with the gate or something. I would be so mad too!

I wish all packages could be delivered by UPS and all letters by the U.S. Postal Mail. I agree about Fed Ex. I don’t know if it’s a geographical problem (problem in only certain locations of the country), or just a mind set delivery personnel in that company have.

The fact that the company chooses to ignore the problem is just ridiculous! It seems to as though the overall response is…well at least you got it at some point, who cares when? Which is just a pathetic attitude for them to have.

the only advice I can give you, is some you won’t like. the delivery gal has the power. chances of Fed Ex doing something about it? SLIM. so you need to make nice with the driver somehow, and in turn it will make (hopefully) her feel bad for not giving you your goods.

I had to do that with a UPS man at a work place one time. It worked like a CHARM. too bad it is harder to charm women!

I’ve never had a problem with Fedex, but I don’t get too many deliveries from them. We live in a rural area, and it seems the only things we get come from UPS. Our UPS driver is WONDERFUL. We live in a very small town, so its the kind of town where we just leave our doors unlocked, etc.

Our UPS driver leaves packages on our back porch. We have never had any problem with them not delivering something. We have a certain package that comes once a month and needs to be signed for. Since we are not home during the day, he has our neighbor lady sign for it. Without us even asking. We’re SPOILED!

Wow that’s crazy. I’ve had decent luck with my delivery drivers so I’m thankful for that. Sorry to hear about all that mess though.

Our FedEx drivers are the most unfriendly guys. They leave a door tag and the package. The door tag says the package is at my front door. It gets stuck to my front door. You think I can’t look down and see a package? The one who delivers late in the evening in the Penske truck for Fed Ex here is the worst as far as friendliness. UPS definitely wins hands down for customer service.

Oh yeah, and like Trisha, I’m home all day most days, and the FedEx guys NEVER knock. I hear the truck pull up if I’m in the living room, and they get a pissy look on their faces if I open the door as they walk up like how dare they have to deal with a real live person. If I have a FedEx package, I watch for it when I know it’s coming otherwise it’ll sit there until I find it.
