| | A Joyful holiday to all While feeding the world is a noble cause, let us not forget that there are people, especially children who go to bed hungry right here in the USA. Food Pantries are stretching ever decreasing donations further and further. If you're flush, try to think of those that aren't this holiday season.

| | Thanks for nothing UPS 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. | |

A shame... UPS USED to be the MOST reliable, fastest way to get something delivered anywhere on the globe... but like Amerika....

Corrected Only if you're a Kool-Aid drinking sheeple... otherwise it was already correct, but thanks for an effort, better than most Amerikans can muster.

America was a wonderful place, founded by some very intelligent men in 1776. It was a place where you could make a good life for yourself, learn and grow and share in the prosperity, if you were willing to work, and Americans were the hardest, smartest workers in the world. It was a place where government served the people instead of itself. It was a place with moral values, where money and "things" weren't the be all, end all. Sadly it ceased to exist somewhere in the mid to late 1980's. This place, today, is NOT America, thus the k.

Chesterfield, MO | Re: Thanks for nothing UPS I agree with much of what you say but I'm not sure it's all the government's fault. Man's inherent selfish ways are at the root of all failures -- whether that be in the church, the government or in the corporate board room. To that end, both religion and corporate selfishness attempt to sculpt government to give them at least a temporary advantage. However, I'll still repeat what Churchill said, "It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried." Although I too am angry about all the crazy things that go on in this country, so far America is still the best place to be on this planet. | |

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.

| Re: Thanks for nothing UPS 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. | |

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!

1 edit | Re: Thanks for nothing UPS 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. | |

This place has been THE place for Broadband since the advent of DSL. Justin, YOU were brilliant... You put together a place where people could talk and inform each other of their own experiences. You expanded on that with really good people and with their help grew it into what it is today.
I'm on my third incarnation on this site. I left a couple of times because of things, I guess, things you could call growing pains. I was never asked to leave, no matter how controversial I got, because, I was speaking the truth. I will ALWAYS appreciate Justin and ALL the staff (paid and volunteer) for their professionalism, their courtesy, and their thoughtfulness AND their dedication that made THIS SITE possible.
Karl is a brilliant editor and is a HUGE contribution to this site. He ferrets out stories and keeps us so well informed. He joins a long, proud line of people who have made this site the great thing that it is. I may not always agree with his editorial content... but his thinking is well reasoned and I will always respect it, even IF we disagree.
I suppose the BIGGEST and BEST part of This Place has always been the people here.
Yes.... thank Karl...and Justin, and scads of other people and thank God this place, it's here. Bless them ALL.
