Seriously, WTF?<\/a><\/p>\n

The weather was *excellent* on Saturday. Clear blue skies, and there wasn’t a bit of snow\/ice on the roads. We drove Arthur, our ’62 F100 with cheap (not snow) tires, on Saturday. So how can they claim a weather exception????<\/p>\n

It would be one thing if FedEx had correctly delivered a single package out of dozens of attempts the past 6 months. I am absolutely astounded at just how bad the service has been lately. The last exchange I had with FedEx involved no less than 12 telephone calls and a copy of OSX 10.5 that was delivered over a *month* late. They screwed that one up badly enough that it was finally delivered by a suit who was driving a 4-door sedan.<\/p>\n

But, the real question… is UPS any better? Nope, I’ve simply been using FedEx whenever possible because I got so disgusted with UPS. Why is delivering a package to my door so hard? These are companies who can get a package to any city in the world in a matter of hours, but can’t manage to get the same package to my door? The packages almost always get all the way to Colorado Springs where they inexplicably sit… forever.<\/p>\n

And I’m not totally clueless as to the process, after all, I once worked for UPS<\/a>. The problems then seemed to be a lack of understanding or appreciation in upper management for the jobs done by the folks who actually drive the delivery trucks. Not to mention a total inability to scale in order to handle the extra load that Jesus packages cause every year. It’s not like it’s a surprise that people are going to ship more packages in December…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
