Lawnboy13 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Delivered a package to a house in Erlanger. I dont live in Erlanger. How hard is it to read an address and deliver it.

woodsrider Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 After 20 years and thousands of packages, they all get it right more than not. They all also make mistakes. Anyone that one is better than the other just doesn't ship that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawnboy13 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Ground, its always Ground. That explains alot......cheapskate. :lol2: FedEx Ground are sub-contractors and are the cheap alternative to FedEx Express (whom I drive for), FedEx Ground is the old RPS, but renamed after FedEx bought them out about 15 years ago. While FedEx Ground makes the company a ton of money, they are the bulk of the complaints for problems such as yours. Tell the shipper to pony up a few more bucks to make sure the true "professionals" deliver your packages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawnboy13 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 FedEx Ground is a shipping company that is a subsidiary of the FedEx Corporation. It is headquartered in Moon Township, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Pittsburgh. Originally conceived as a lower cost competitor to UPS, Roadway Package System (RPS) was created to take advantage of new barcode, material handling and computer technologies. After beginning service on March 11, 1985, the company grew, expanding service from its initial coverage of the Mid-Atlantic states, so much so that it eventually became the largest subsidiary of its parent company, Akron-based Roadway Services. By 1996, RPS had achieved 100% coverage of the United States and Canada. In addition, Roadway Services had been reformed as a new holding company called Caliber System, Inc. FedEx Ground history..... In 1997, Fred Smith, founder of FedEx, contacted Dan Sullivan, co-founder of RPS and now president of Caliber Systems, Inc., about merging the two companies. In 2000, FedEx merged the Caliber System, Inc. operating companies into the FedEx organization with Robert's Express becoming FedEx Custom Critical and RPS becoming FedEx Ground. Viking Freight, which initially operated under its original name, was re-branded FedEx Freight in 2001. FedEx Ground now provides 1-5 day delivery of small packages to all 50 states, plus Canada. Ground also delivered to Puerto Rico, but this service was discontinued in 2009. The subsidiary also offers a specialty service known as FedEx Home Delivery which, coupled with Ground, serves all home addresses in the United States.

maysvilleky Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Fedex Ground is terrible. We had a shipment to the Lime plant in Butler, KY. They didn't deliver because they said they couldn't find the location. REALLY in BUTLER, KY? What else is there? Winds up they had it on the wrong truck and sent it to somewhere in OHIO. They lied. And the bad part was...I tried for 2 days to locate the package and couldn't get the darn phone number for the delivery terminal to talk to the terminal manager. I had to talk to some guy name "AL" who was obviously not "AL" and was actually probably "PUNJAI". Couldn't give me any more info than I could get on line. Finally after 2 days they found the package and made the delivery. USE UPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
