When a package absolutely, positively has to get there? Don't use FedEx. For the third time in about as many tries they delivered my package to the house around the corner with the same number. I only know this because my exasperated neighbor is kind enough to swing by and tell me. I even called FedEx last time to bitch... Which may be why they made me haul my own freight over the snowy roads of Berea just now (yep, snowy: it's snowing again).
From now on I have to include special instructions with my online orders: "don't use FedEx, it pisses off my neighbors."
Bunch o' assholes.
UPDATE: According to a WSJ alert I just got by e-mail, "FedEx said net income declined 6% for its fiscal third quarter to $393 million as operating margins declined, hit by higher fuel prices and slack demand in the weakening economy. The express shipping company expects fourth-quarter earnings per share to be less than in the previous year." Suck it, FedEx!
