CXM_Splicer posted : Yes, it was FedEx ground. I don't know why sellers even consider this option, horrible service and more expensive. Unfortunately, retailers on Amazon don't really give you a choice so I was forced to use them if I wanted this particular item. In the future, I am going to ask ahead of time and specifically request UPS or USPS.

I got a monitor last year (and no that monitor in that video was not mine hehe) from tigerdirect, i believe they toke it through fed ex then it went through our mail service, finally arrived and theres no damage.. i was damn well surprised for sure.

Merry Christmas and happy new year.

Yeah, it's a shame. I trust USPS more than UPS, now.

Which "FedEx?"

I've found traditional FedEx still to be pretty good. FedEx Ground, tho... not so much. About on-par with, or sometimes a bit worse than, UPS.

Merry Christmas, all!

CXM_Splicer posted : I have had the opposite experience... FedEx is always a problem, UPS and USPS are usually fine. My last experience was a delivery guy who took it upon himself to go back and pick up a delivery after he had already made it; he changed his mind about leaving it outside. Problem with that is the tracking number already showed it was delivered (try and explain that to Amazon). So now, instead of my package, I have a door tag saying a signature was required (which the seller didn't request) and they would attempt delivery the next day. While speaking with FedEx, I told them I would be home after 5pm if they require a signature. The next day, I actually left work early... got home by 3:30 and waited... Nada. Call them back that night and they claim driver was there just after 5 pm and I wasn't home! Total BS. They now say he will try one last time on Monday. Since I need my package, I took off on Monday convinced that the delivery guy is making no attempt at all to show up after 5. Sure enough, 11:30 am, the doorbell rings and I have my package 4 days later than it should have been there. Thanks a LOT FedEx!

Since this was not my only negative experience with them, I avoid FedEx when ever possible. I never send anything with them unless I am returning something that the seller already provided a prepaid return. When multiple shipping options are available, I will pick USPS priority mail first (fastest and usually cheapest) or UPS. Newegg (where I have ordered hundreds of things from) uses UPS 3-day by default and I can say that I have never had a problem with a single delivery from them.

First UPS decides they're going to start stealing packages from FedEx. Now, utilizing 2nd day air, a UPS package was supposed to arrive today. It arrived in a city 3 hours from here 2 days ago. Today around noon they finally decide to ship it from there to the big city nearest mine. Of course that means it won't go out for delivery until Dec. 26.

Bummer. That happened to me a couple of years ago, only I used Overnight. To make matters worse it arrived in my city and sat there for a day, on a semi. I called the local office, and they confirmed it was there but no way I could get it until the 27th.

I avoid UPS at all costs. They've lost and damaged too much of my stuff. I use FedEx whenever its offered, even its a premium. I need my stuff to actually arrive, arrive on time, and in one piece.
