Fed Ex Is Awful!!

Yes Matt, you are right. You will never see your package. It is lost forever since it didn't show up when the emails said it would. No sense waiting to see if someone figures out they have a package they missed delivering, better to assume all is lost.

Four years ago I sent a package to my daughter in Kenya, Africa. I add the continent designation because not everyone is aware of where Kenya is, and the fact that her "zip code" there was the same as a community 45 miles from my location in Iowa didn't help her get her mail. An amazing amount went to Mason City Iowa before it went to Africa. Anyway, the first package I sent her weighed 25 lbs., and cost me $80 to send the cheapest rate I could get using the U.S. Postal Service. FedEx or any alternate carrier was out of the question since I wanted to keep the bill under $150. I never again sent her a package that weighed that much, and I never used anything but first class after that. That way she received most deliveries in between 2 and 4 weeks. She received that first box approximately 23 months after I mailed it, shortly before she was evacuated. Sorry to hear your delivery from China is a couple of days late.

Maybe UPS is better because they are in the Teamsters Union and FedEx is a non-union shop.

So after 4:30 pm, July 20, I called Fed Ex Customer Service, who created a transaction ticket identifying my package as lost. I didn't hear from Fed Ex, on the website my package only showed a ship date of July 13.

Thursday, I get a voice mail message from Fed Ex advising me that they have declared my package lost and have contacted Apple regarding their declaration. If I had any questions, I can call Fed Ex, provide tracking number or transaction incident number.

Friday (yesterday) I'm home early, pull up my driveway and there is a Fed Ex delivery truck, getting ready to leave--but I block his way. He pops out of the cab and apologizes for getting in my way, but I interrupt asking him if he was delivering a package for me. He asks if I lived here, I say YES! Great, he says, I just left a note for you to call us because my original package was lost but Apple found a replacement in San Jose, California and shipped it to me for over night delivery. He needed a signature to deliver, I gave him my signature and he handed over my package.

By 1:30pm, EDST, Friday, July 23rd, my naked IPad was properly attired in all it's subtle micro fiber splendor.
