    FedEx pointed out that shippers of high-value goods "can request Hold at Location or Direct Signature Required services, or redirect a package to FedEx Office”

    Can’t tell you how many times FedEx has just completely ignored the direct signature required part. If it’s not something like alcohol where the government will crack down on them then they don’t care.

    You can look up the signature for the package on their app. I can’t sign my name in Times New Roman…so clearly I didn’t sign for that. If I do sign for it then it’s an image of my actual signature.

    They also have a bad habit of delivering stuff to my neighbor without ever setting foot on my property because apparently they can’t read house numbers…FedEx is terrible in my area.

      FedEx is terrible in everyone’s area.

      The big thing is unlike UPS, they use a lot of contractors for delivery, and well, you get what you pay for.

        I ship quite a few things and I only use USPS and UPS. I also use pirate ship, which only has those two anyway, but I won’t use FedEx for a number of reasons.

      I’ve gone to just having stuff delivered to a place for pick up. It’s just so mush easier in the long run. As a bonus it forces to actually walk around my neighborhood.
