Whenever I purchase something online I always experience a tinge of dread shoot down my spine when I see that it will be shipped via Fedex. Last week I ordered a different set of wheels for my truck and was less than thrilled to see that Fedex would be delivering them. I checked tracking when it was available and it showed that they would be delivered today. Great, no problem there. I call to schedule to have the wheels installed on Thursday figuring I'd better leave a day in there for Fedex to do what Fedex always does, they didn't disappoint.
I received one wheel yesterday. Out of four identical boxes shipped at the same time, from the same location, to be delivered to the same address tomorrow I received one yesterday. Kind of odd but certainly not outside of Fedex's standard operating procedure. I just checked tracking again and now the remaining three boxes have been delayed until tomorrow. We have weather scheduled to hit this evening and overnight which means there's a 97% chance Fedex will decide they simply couldn't possibly hope to get more than three or four packages delivered in the 24 hours after the first snowflake falls.
They need to go back to their old name of Federal Express. Their incompetence certainly rivals that of the Federal Government. Every single thing of mine they've ever gotten their hands on has been screwed up in one fashion or another.
