Beware - FedEx Drivers are forging signatures for delivery confirmation

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.

Entitlement??? The "entitlement" is in this ridiculous post. They signed up to do the job. Period. Lazy, entitled slobs are the bane of modern society. Don't like your job? Then quit. Half assing it is defrauding your employer and customers. Low character excuses and amoral platitudes don't excuse the behavior, they just paint a better picture of the individual.

I have a new preamp arriving tomorrow and I always have it left at a Fedex office and pick it up there.  Always, for the reasons noted above. 

A further thought.  I am certain that the business model of UPS/Fedex, which even obvious shipping damages is caused by the shipper, to deny, deny and deny insurance claims.  Honestly, there ought to be a law protecting consumers from this fraudulent and routine business practice.  If your auto insurer routinely denied legitimate claims, they would be in deep legal trouble. 

Call the Fed-X number and talk to corporate. They take complaints like this seriously, though not seriously enough to reimburse you, of course!. Also, follow up with an email detailing the issue and that you accept no liability for packages left on your doorstep that were supposedly signed for. I always request that people ship to me by UPS or USPS. Fed-X drivers are subcontractors paid by the piece. PS: You are financially responsible for any package stolen from your door. Yes, it's happened to me and, yes, it was Fed-X.

I imagine geography has a lot to do with the quality of service.
