This is true if you send it via Air shipping, but if you send it ground it goes to a different address. Since I live on the west coast, I just sent it ground since it would get there in 3 days anyways.

You should know that FedEx and FedEx Ground are two distinct divisions, albeit, owned by the same company. They have different drivers, and different rules for those drivers. FedEx drivers are employees of FedEx and are required to follow specific company rules, especially concerning drop-offs. FedEx Ground was a corporate acquisition a few years back. (Used to be RPS.) Their drivers are NOT FedEx employees. They are independent contractors. They are NOT required to follow all of the same rules. (They also do not receive the same compensation!) They are paid by the package and hence, tend to "drop and run" a lot more.
This arrangement saves FedEx money, but causes you problems. It has been the cause of several lawsuits.
