(36,649 posts)Just this week I tried to track three packages with Fedex (again, out of the several hundreds we do each day). They were each going to a different person in a different department at a large university. They were all addressed properly to specific individuals. This particular institution doesn't have a central receiving, so each package should have been delivered separately to each department.
They weren't.
Instead, the tracking says they were "delivered" all at the same time, but with an illegible scrawl for a signature. None of the recipients for these packages at the university have received their shipments, but as far as Fedex is concerned they were all delivered properly. I'm still waiting for a trace to be completed, but from my experience dealing with Fedex I know that we'll have to write off these three packages as lost and ship them again at no charge.
And this is not an isolated event; something similar happens 2-3 times a week for with Fedex and UPS shipments made by my company.
