Stop Shipping With The Courier Crooks!

[G-Body]

Yeah FedEx sucks. We use it at work as that is who corporate decided to contract with. We ship out mostly IV medications, a significant amount of which have a short shelf life once mixed. We stopped using ground service years ago for anything even if it wasn`t critical as it would never arrive on time. We now use priority overnight (first overnight is the only higher service available which is ridiculously more expensive). They used to promise delivery by 10am the next morning, then it became noon delivery. However we have had frequent issues where the packages were not arriving until the evening even when the delivery location was less than 30 miles from where they were shipped. Last year we had a significant number of packages that took 2-3 days to arrive using priority overnight. When we called to complain they told us that the next day by noon delivery time was a promised delivery time not a guarantee. I heard my my shipping manager on the phone ask WTF do you mean its a promise, not a guarantee? What is the difference between you promising me it will be there by noon and guaranteeing it will be there by noon? They put him on hold until he gave up and hung the phone up. I know someone who works at FedEx and he said the only service that they really try to make sure gets there by promised time is the first overnight service as if that service is late they will refund you the shipping charges. If they don`t think the first overnight service will make it on time they will put someone in a van and have them drive that single package to the delivery location even if it takes all night to make the drive....and yes, the shipping rate that they charge does seem to reflect this.

Luckily in CA now you dont have to pay for anything. Buddies wife works at grocery store and the bums walk in with a cart and walk out with a full cart and all they are allowed to do is ask if they are going to pay. Local safeway the manager ran after a shoplifter and was fired for it. So you all are doing it wrong, go live in a nice park or on the beach rent free and just take what you want. You can also have a fire everynight even in July, just call it a "warming" fire.

And apparently Beetlejuice there is putting the blame on the businesses for not doing more about stopping it after defunding the police...how stupid can this moron get? You take away the police, the crime goes up. You lock down businesses no money gets made and there's no affording extra expenses when it opens, so how in the heck are businesses supposed to afford security when the government won't let them stay open to make money, or can't justify affording federally paid police?? This world is going to he** in a hand basket fast.

USPS isn’t much better . Bought a set of full specs from a member on here in may . Month later filed a lost package request . Get the carbs after about two months but usps still sending me updates they were trying to find them . Then yesterday just sent me a update that they were done looking for them . Guess it’s a good thing they actually showed up . View attachment 419806

Yep I ordered a used flywheel for my ATV Bushog, USPS lost the package and said they couldn't find it, I ordered another one it shows up, a week later the first one shows up.

I can tell you in my area of California there is no defunding or shortage of police. The issue is the courts and the DA's aren't prosecuting the "minor" crimes like theft so typically even if these guys are caught they are back out doing the same thing in a few days. The reason the employees aren't allowed to stop them is if they are assaulted, hurt or killed in trying to stop it, the business is the one that gets sued by the employee. They need much higher penalties for theft. The stores are trying to have more stuff locked up but it isn't realistic for everything. And all our businesses are fully open.
