I'm never accepting FedEx shipping again
Ok. I ordered an Astro Mixamp to go with a PC360 headset I ordered. The Mixamp can only be bought direct from Astro (which is freakin stupid), and they only offered FedEx. I got the headset specifically to use on my Xbox, but I was told the mic won't work without the Mixamp. Anyway, the headset arrived Monday via USPS. The Mixamp was supposed to be here Wednesday. The track said "Local weather delay, delivery attempted" both Wednesday and Thursday. Friday, they delivered to the wrong address and reclaimed it. I got a call at 7am this morning asking for directions, but the tracking ended up the same goddamn delay bullshit again. This is totally unacceptable. The goddamn return window on both devices will be expired by the time I get the goddamn thing. UPS always gets here. The mail always gets here. I'm so tired of this weather delay shit. I live in PA. It snows. It's NOT a new occurrence, but everyone seems to treat it like one every goddamn year.

To each their own. I ship hundreds of packages per month. 1/2 USPS Priority Mail and 1/2 FedEx Ground. I have more trouble with Priority packages going missing. And it doesn't help that lost of postmen don't care about scanning the delivery confirmation when they deliver. If I look down through my shipments, according to the "delivery confirmation" numbers, maybe 10% of them NEVER get scanned.

Also, it sounds like you just have a lousy local delivery guy.
Did the shipper use "Ground" or "Home Delivery"? I find that "Home Delivery" will make the service more personal. And shippers are SUPPOSED to use them whenever shipping to a residence. But a lot of shippers ignore that.

Count me for one that despises Fedex Home delivery. I LOVE Fedex, they operate seperately and in my area the local fedex office is in my city. The home delivery office is 2 hours away. Majority of times normal fedex will leave packages with my signature on file. Home delivery NEVER leaves the package, I cannot pick up from the depot (too far). So the result is sometimes takes multiple delieveries to actually get the package.

FedEx Ground and FedEx Express are completely different from each other - Ground doles out the deliveries to local companies, so it can be a real crap-shoot.

Here in California, FedEx Home Delivery makes deliveries Tuesday through Saturday. They are closed on Monday. Not sure if this policy is the same across the country.

Good luck in never using FedEx again.
