The sense of entitlement express here is off the charts. Delivery drivers (UPS, Amazon, FedEx, etc.) are not highly compensated jobs, yet you people seem to think you can use them to send very valuable goods anywhere in the world. Most of the time it works, but sometimes it won't. Think of it as the cost of doing business. In the long run the public gets what it pays for.
Beware - FedEx Drivers are forging signatures for delivery confirmation
In the span of 2 days I had 2 separate deliveries of expensive audio equipment delivered by FedEx. One on the east coast and one on the west coast. They were both insured for the full amount and high dollar values, which triggers FedEx required direct signature by the recipient. In one case the recipient let me know that the driver signed for him and left the package in the snow next to his mailbox. He never made contact with the driver nor signed for the package. In the second case the driver again signed for him and left the package on his porch, and never made contact with the recipient. In both cases everything turned out ok, but this terrible business ethics from FedEx employees.
It's blatant forgery by the drivers, and who is left holding the bag if the package is stolen? It's the driver's word against the recipient. I have a feeling the shipper (in both cases me) would be when I paid for full value insurance. What is the motivation of the driver, just laziness so they don't have to come back for another delivery attempt? I made a formal complaint with FedEx which supposedly they are going to trace down, but I have a feeling this is not going to make a difference.
Things are getting worse and worse these days!

I just had an experience where the Fedex guy didn’t ring the doorbell and left a note saying attempted delivery, no one home when my son and I were both home and waiting attentively. Wine. I redirected to a Fedex facility for pickup. I don’t think I am entitled to be pissed that I spent the day home uselessly for this package. |
Well Guys, don't forget USPS! When I bought My Pontus DAC, shipped from Singapore, a signature was required. The weather that day was rainy sleet storm and I knew it was out for delivery. I was doing the dishes with a window in front of me with veiw of the road and the USPS goes by. WTF! Ran out to my porch(uncovered) and there was the package, promptly getting wet. I knew the USPS truck would be returning from the sub-division again so I went out side to stop her. She blatantly lied to my face. Said she knocked on the door(I have a doorbell) Brainless!! |
@onhwy61 My brother-in-law worked at UPS as a delivery driver, he was paid well. |
