Re: A question or two about FedEX

I have nothing but trouble with FedX, as well as many people I know. I've often spent the $$ for "two-day" delivery, which *without exaggeration* takes over two bloody weeks!.

Besides myself, I know several people that also continually go thru this with them, and they (fedex) often uses the same, lame excuse:
Quote:
Your address is invalid
It usually goes like this:

Hello FedEx how can I help you?
Hi, where's my package I took the day off to stay home to recieve. It's two weeks late now.
Sorry sir, but we have an invalid address and have been waiting for you to contact us.
Oh? what address do you have?
They give the correct address.
Well... that's my address.
Sorry sir, it can't be your address, it doesn't exist.
Then how do I live here and get my mail and packages from UPS?
Sir, our driver has been on that route for over 8 years and there is no such address.
8 years? then he has delivered to me at this address many times in that time period.
Sorry sir, maybe they changed the road signs and you're not aware of it.
How can I not know where I live?
Sorry sir, but your address is wrong.
Does your driver of 8 years on this route have a cell phone?
Yes sir.
Tell him to call me when he is in the area.
Sir, I don't think that will work, as your address is invalid.
Just have him call me, OK??
Yes sir.

Then the driver calls and I go thru it all again, and have to give him step by step instructions to get to my place.

This has happened several times.
