Fed Ex is something else.
Just make sure someones home all day to sign for it. Otherwise they ship it back...
Well they try to deliver 2 times. Then leavce you a pick up notice (WHy should I go pick up my pacakage?)... Then it goes back!

a friend of mine worked for fedex, the way their shipping works is once the driver picks it up it goes back to their facility to sit until the overnight workers come in to load the truck, then it gets loaded and leaves for its next desination, then it sits in a truck all day again until the overnight workers come in to reload it onto a new truck..i order my window tint from florida and they ship fedexif i order monday ill have it friday but if i order it tuesday it will be 10 minutes down the road from me on friday but it wont get loaded until sometime overnight on monday to be brought to me....

Usually when you have something dropped off they have a waiver in the truck you can sign for a "no signature drop off" or you can go to the local distribution pick up center and sign it... Then all your packages will just be dropped off in the place you specify in the form (i.e. back door, front door, patio, etc.)... saves you from having to be there all the time

I dunno man, I think its pretty cool you can take a package at a drop point at 2pm and by 8am the next day it can be there. Cost a lot more but it can be there. I mean when you think about it 1,000,000,000 packages or whatever and yours actually gets there.Pretty damn good to me. Maybe I just got low standards...
