My wife placed an order with Levi's almost 10 days ago, it has yet to be picked up from the warehouse by the carrier. Who knows what that deal is, we've never even heard of the delivery company.

It is very common now. Weather issues, delayed flights, etc. even for overnight services. Tracking information isn't even that accurate anymore. UPS and FedEx are about as reliable as USPS. The days of "When it Absolutely, Positively has to be there overnight" are over, even as shipping costs increase.

I had a Nordic Track ski machine delivered by DHL around 30 years ago. It was curbside delivery. I hated that machine. lol

We still have one. Part of it is in my home office and part is in the study. It's Wifey's machine, but she doesn't use it any more and hasn't for years. I'd like to toss the thing in the trash.

F the USPS. I sent a pkg priority mail & they lost it/stole it. I file a claim & they magically find it & still take another week to deliver. Took over 3 weeks for delivery. Unreal

My delayed package surprisingly got delivered today. On a Sunday. All the way from Chicago, which is more than 3 hours away. I thought sure it'd be Tuesday or later before they got it here.

Currently, UPS and USPS are my best performers. However, Fedex Service to my rural area sucks!.....their driver's attitudes and actions are even worse!!

the big name carriers are usually just final leg people now.
When fedex invented smartpost way back it was brutal. they would do first leg then drop to USPS. Now since the mergence of amazon we have even a worse monster. third party logistic companies that pick up and move the package almost until your final destiniation. this legally and reputationally absolves the big name carrier of delays as the scapegoat is a third party |
