I just ordered a very time sensitive package from Toronto only to find out that it's been shipped via fedex. Based on my experience with literally every FedEx package I've ever received in, Winnipeg (dozens over years), I'm preemptively writing a review to express my future disappointment and aggravation FedEx is about to cause me. On the day I'll be expecting the package, shipped express, signature required, I will be sitting, working, waiting patiently in my living room, curtains open, with full view of my front walkway and door for my delivery aided buy my security cameras, and two dogs who bark alarms at anyone who comes close to our home. The gigantic sign with my address that's pasted on my window is ugly, but does the trick letting couriers know where I am. I'll refresh the tracking information every five minutes in anticipation keeping an eye out on the "out for delivery," when suddenly it changes to "unable to deliver package to address." Nothing on security cam, no FedEx delivery truck on my entire street, no dogs barking. Nothing. I live in neighbourhood 5 minutes away from FedEx, and never has any other courier had a problem delivering to my street. I'll call their help line and after the 25 minute hold, I'll be lied to, because the driver will have noted no one was home to accept the package. Frustrated, I'll tell them that I'm coming down to get my package personally after 5:30pm, to which they'll tell me that im not allowed to do so until after 5:30 the next day, because according to their rules, the driver has to be able to make another attempt to make overnight deliveries. I could pick up the package the next day, after 5:30, making me question why I paid the extra fortune for next day delivery. Unfortunately for me, I'll be on a plane the next day to a destination with my girlfriend and will have to return the engagement ring to buy one locally. Everyone but fedex loses. How are you still in business with your poor service and over priced services?
