I strongly dislike shopping. It's mostly because people en masse make my right eye twitch, there's sometimes a headache, nosebleed, violent wall punching episode. I like shopping online. No fuss, no muss, no bulging forehead vein. EXCEPT when what ever I've ordered ships FedEx and is routed through this location.
For some reason, the driver(s) out of this location won't/don't/or are too f'ing stupid to use a call box. My husband and I have called FedEx several times in the last few years to advise them that 1)There was absolutely NO delivery attempt made, and 2) We know, because if a delivery attempt had been made, our phone would have rang. I've actually waited by my phone all day long for a call from the call box - only to get a "deliver attempt made" text. For the love of all things holy, what the heck is this doo doo?
The last time this happened (we're going on about a dozen delivery issues now), I called FedEx to tell them that their driver was shirking his one and only responsibility of delivering packages to the correct address at the correct time, and was repeatedly told "a delivery attempt was made at 3:43 pm" and when I responded "I was home, sitting here, waiting at 3:43 pm" I was told I could take the door tag to the FedEx location to pick up my package if I preferred, which was funny, because there was no door tag that I could distinguish as my own. See the driver leaves door tags - but there is never a name, or apartment number, or reason why the package wasn't left, just a tag, with a number, because the driver is an a-hole. Anyhoo, after sorting through the tags and figuring out mine based on tracking number (in project mayhem we have no names) I head over to the location of my package, where I find the whole room packed with people trying to pick up their undelivered package, and only 1 guy at the counter - and he clearly gives 0 f's about anyone there. Oh, and there's a guy in the back that he's having a casual conversation with while he's pretending to but not assisting customers.
Here's the thing. Based off of the times of the supposed delivery attempt, it can only be concluded that the a-hole that's supposed to deliver to my neighborhood gets off around 4-4:30, and can't be bothered to press a button to call my apartment. That's just lazy, and he should be fired, and this happens on a continuous basis - but only through this location. Other FedEx drivers, they use the box, they get buzzed in, they deliver packages, you know...what they're paid to do.
Because of this issue, I always order ahead, and just wait for USPS or UPS, and if those aren't options, I find what ever it is somewhere else. FedEx is forever tainted because of one lazy a-hole driver that can't be bothered to push a button. read more
