Next morning I get a call from the driver and he says he left it behind the chair on my front porch. I explained I don't have a chair on my front porch. He said he would retrieve it and make sure I got it that day. In the mean time my neighbor was knocking at my door with the package in hand. Just glad my neighbors don't smoke cigars.

So I'm not surprised it happened just surprised that you didn't get better customer service from Fedex. Whenever they do it to me they bend over back-wards to get it to me the next day.


I think we've all had problems with USPS, UPS, FedEx, or DHL from time to time. In my epxerience, it happens less frequently with FedEx and when it does happen with FedEx they're usually pretty quick to make it right. I have had much worse experiences with DHL, USPS, and UPS. I think with FedEx the drivers "own" their routes or something like that and there's more responsibility and accountability put directly on the driver.
