BR Post Office is awful

USPS is terrible with packages. I think FedEx is the best of the major carriers, but sometimes they lay an egg. We’re also in holiday season, so I would start mailing soon and pony up for express to at least get a refund guarantee.

wat, you've gotten to be trolling


FedEx is the Popeyes of the shipping world

Don’t diss Popeyes. Popeyes is the Lord’s chicken. A whole lot better than that soggy shite chick fil a sells

Don’t argue with me

Man, I had something go to Port Allen, then to Memphis, then to Jackson, Mississippi, then to Donaldsonville then to me.

These people are clowns.

And is UPS the Canes or Chic-Fil-A of the shipping world with its six figure drivers and brown shorts?

his happens all the time.

FedEx packages routinely go to New Orleans then Memphis then Baton Rouge.

Memphis is a big hub, and I will point out- I live IN Baton Rouge. It was supposed to be out for delivery here, not shipped to New Jersey

This is the second time since I signed up for Informed Delivery that something has made it here, my Informed Delivery initially saying it should be delivered on that date, and instead it goes for a ride. That's been maybe 3 months. I will NEVER not pay for insurance on shipping again, after watching this.

I've had UPS drop things at the wrong address, usually a neighbor's house. I had something recently left with "proof of delivery" photo showing it on my neighbor's porch, under his security camera. I printed out my delivery stuff and held that to the camera, just to prove I wasn't being a porch pirate.

Maybe the best messed up drop-off was Fedex, they left it at the other neighbor's house. And that dude had died, the bank took his house, and there were several notices of a Sheriff's Sale posted on the house. The Fedex dude left it under one of those notices, it was in the picture.
I got on the phone complaining about that one, since I have my address in big text on my mailbox, and the front of the house visible from the street.

They’re having a hard time finding reliable drivers. Turnover is high. Sometimes they have to do what’s most efficient for the majority and sort out the stragglers along the way.

That's actually normal. Depending the service you selected, likely express, Memphis is the regional hub.

ETA: I worked in shipping and had to deal with FedEx everyday. I picked up on some things.

This is correct. Almost all packages sent through FedEx go through Memphis, even if the destination is in the same city. That is their process.

I used to work in shipping

UPS is a gigantic pain in the arse with their automated system... it could take months to figure out what is going on, and where a package is located.. frick brown...at least with FedEx you can talk to a human

Could you give me the tracking number so I can try to view the packaging and address label? I am a career Postal worker in Tennessee. I can give you a better answer once I dig into a few different reports. Apologies for your delay. I see this occur a few times a year in my Post Office. Generally speaking, 90% of the delays I see are automated sortation errors that route the packages incorrectly. The other causes usually have to do with addressing or label issues.
