world was a lot better place before companies started focusing more on poop packers and rug muncher programs than their actual line of business.

FedEx is way worse unfortunately. I use them both a lot at work. UPS is far superior.

FedEx contracts drivers (I think Ground is different than Fedex, etc.) whereas UPS is unionized shite. UPS frustrates me by doing shite like this:

1. Package shipped via regular ground from NY to Houston. Transit takes one day, I see it's sitting at the Stafford distribution facility. Excited I might get the package early.
2. The package sits there for four days, and then gets put on a truck to make the 5 day SLA for delivery.

This has happened repeatedly, and I will never, ever elect to receive packages via UPS or USPS if I have a choice. Will I ship stuff I sell on eBay with UPS? Yes, because I don't give a crap if the person 100 miles away receives it in two days or five, as long as it shows up.

It’s frightening how many people are completely oblivious to companies doing the things you pointed out. There are some big financial donors and foreign organizations spending very large amounts of money to install board members on multiple companies boards of directors to make sure that “special interest” goals are pushed.

Fedex won't even help you if they lose a package

What happened?

I used UPS/Fedex a lot more 20-25 years ago and they were generally good. Light years better than USPS.

I think you meant FedEx and USPS

USPS is also on my shite list right now. My son mailed a letter to us from Houston to Alexandria and sent it on Thursday USPS Priority Express with guaranteed delivery on Saturday. The letter didn't arrive until the following Wednesday. Pay ~$30 to send a LETTER with a GUARANTEED delivery date and it's four days late. USPS and UPS.

I shipped a package 10 days out from when I needed it for a 9 day mission trip out west. We got back yesterday and it still hasn’t arrived.
