<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nYesterday, a package was scheduled to be delivered to our house that required a signature. Based on past experience, we deliberately stayed home all day \u2014 and \u2014 carried on as much of our activities as possible very near the front door. After spending the morning sitting by the front door, around 1:15, I went into the kitchen\/family room to turn on the TV and change the channel to the PGA golf tournament. My \u201cround trip\u201d took about five or six minutes. When I returned to the front door, there was a small sticker on it from FedEx, saying they were sorry they missed us \u2014 they had attempted to deliver our package. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here\u2019s the deal \u2014 there was no attempt to deliver the package \u2014 they only stuck the sticker on the door, and didn\u2019t even bother to fill in any information on the sticker. No knock on the door, no doorbell ringing. Our doorbell button is only about the size of a quarter, so maybe they didn\u2019t see it. Claire, who is very<\/em> patient, to a point, called FedEX and explained the situation. She was assured that the package would \u201cre-deliverd\u201d by six o\u2019clock that evening. We had dinner plans at 6:30 at a restaurant about 20-25 minutes from our house, so delivery by six would work. I realize things like this happen, but this isn\u2019t the first time it\u2019s happened with FedEx, or the second, or the third\u2026 it\u2019s their normal operation, at least with us. Right now the sign above is on our front door \u2014 it\u2019s 8 \u00bd x 11 inches. Maybe they\u2019ll at least let us know they\u2019re here\u2026 Most of my \u201ccomplaints\u201d on this blog are really more just \u201ccomments\u201d on the state of things, but this is truly a complaint, directed to one particular company \u2014 FedEx. Yesterday, a package was scheduled to be delivered to our … Continue reading
You may have guessed, six o\u2019clock came and no package \u2014 called FedEX and were told that there was no record of a call from us \u2014 they would attempt to deliver the package again tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If it\u2019s at all possible, we try not to purchase anything from any company if the only way they can deliver it is by FedEx \u2014 but, sometimes it\u2019s necessary.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
