It's a double edged sword, for sure.

Very good points....especially B

I don't use FedEx anymore - too unreliable and their customer service is terrible.

I had a package arriving via FedEx - missed the first delivery so I worked from home the next day so I would be there - at 7:32 AM I got an email saying delivery was attempted but no one was home. I was 10 feet from my front door; no one attempted delivery. Same thing happened the next day.

In my situation I think the delivery driver was overloaded with packages that day (it was during Christmas) so he just took a few and marked attempted delivery without ever going to the address.

Just wondering what happened with this. Hopefully the OP will provide an update.

For valuable stuff, I would do Fed Ex overnight every time. Is there a chance things could go sideways. Of course. Valuable stuff sent around the world every day by fed ex. Diamonds, rare coins, even body parts. I have to imagine there is far less chance it falls off the back of a truck or walks out the back door than at the local P.O.

The quality of Fed Ex service to business recipients may be better than to residential. From my very limited experience, Fex Ex, USPS and UPS are fungible in terms of how often they actually ask me to sign and how often they just leave a package.

I agree with you. I use FedEx every day for my business and can count on one hand the problems I've had with them in over a dozen years. That being said, for home deliveries I have about a 70% success rate with them. Packages being left at the wrong house, important packages left under my mailbox( I have a quarter mile driveway) etc. USPS Registered is the way to go if I'm moving expensive collectibles.

This is the complete truth, lol.

USPS is around 90% of the time they completely ignore the signature requirements for me. I ordered a 8000 dollar ring for the wife one Christmas and they just dropped it in the mailbox. The delivery confirmation remained open and if I was most of the buyers I quit selling on eBay because of, I could have been sneaky about it.

Fed Ex asks about 70% of the time, UPS seems around the same. The one thing they usually follow through on is signature for my ammunition deliveries. Although once UPS dropped 2000 rounds of 9mm on my porch while on a business trip totally ignoring the signature and it sat there for 3 days till I got home.

Same, very curious.

When I lived in northern Wisconsin. Fedex left a Christmas package at my neighbor's house. They were out of town for the holiday. The sender insisted that he had received notification of delivery. The package sat on the neighbor's doorstep for 6 days before I discovered it. It had been outside in single digit weather for 144 hours. The sender, not knowing my local weather, was concerned.

I opened the package immediately and it was fine.

What did the package contain you ask?

ICE CREAM

We are another month out. Any updates? I always hope stories like this have a surprise happy ending, even if that's not very likely.
