How about you take off and I wait at your house for them? I will overnight them to your hotel.

If he would have used UPS it would have been there by 10:30 guaranteed with an option to get it by 8:00am. FedEx does 1/4 the business we do at UPS. Didn't get that way by being horrific.

"UPS is the horrific shipping company"
+1

Just bought a $1500.00 Vinyl Plotter off Ebay that was packaged by a UPS store, But it turned out to be a DROP shippment, USP handles packages the worst. I've shipped 5 Items with them in the last year that have been broken and everytime they try to Scam their way out of paying the insurance UPS.

USPS all the way And Fedex For Heavy Ground.

Go check your front door, FedEx has a habit of leaving crap at the door and never knocking.

My father-in-law works at the post office and he said UPS brings them their envelope shipping daily to deliver for them - so people are paying UPS, UPS takes their stuff to the post office, UPS pays the post office and the post office delivers it - just the small stuff that fits in the envelopes - still, I would feel ripped off if I was paying extra for UPS to deliver it.

I was living in Slidell in 2005 and they delivered my SEC Championship game tickets to Covington.....Thank God the person who received them was nice(and honest) enough to drive over and deliver them to me.

I do to. I have quit UPS completely.
...besides their rates being much higher than Fed Ex

Next Day "Standard" Fed Ex has until 3:00pm (4:00pm rural)

Get a tracking no.
go to: LINK

or call 1 800 463 3339, give them your address and who it is coming from (zip code) they should be able to tell you if they show package or not.

If you had the tracking number all you would have to do is call fedex and they will tell you where the truck is and you pick up the tickets at the truck.

I quit using UPS after I had to suit them for $100.
They delivered a frozen turducken to the right "number" wrong street, found it 4 days later and wanted me to still accept it. (thawed).

I ship all over the US- FedEx only
Global, I use USPS Priority or Flat Rate.

BTW FedEx Home delivery delivers on Sat,
no extra charge.

I work at fed ex in Monroe. I am posting from there right now. From now on. with important packages. This being the most important. Select the option to hold at the station. That way it will be at fed ex at 8 am. You dont have to wait for a driver to bring it to you. you can pick it up on your way out of town.
