Fed Ex.

Again, they delivered an order to my neighbor, just dropped it off, all 5 boxes of .44 XTP bullets for my Marlin. What gives?? My name and address is impossible to miss. Good thing Stephen is my friend. Julie gives him pie and cakes when she bakes which is often . He really likes her elderberry/apple pie! I am almost afraid to buy anything that requires shipping anymore.

Legend is UPS was started for the sole purpose of shipping/delivering ''GAMING'' equipment... Maybe GB could start their own shipping/delivery service too???
This was Fed Ex, not UPS or USPS. These two have been quite efficient, at least to me.
fedx has contract drivers nothing more than a paycheck and not the smartest employess either
My son checked them out while looking for work. The pay FedX starts drivers out at is embarrassingly LOW! They are also forced to work Sundays.
FedEx has a theft problem of sporting goods
FedEx is here 3-5 times per week delivering stuff that Grouch Attack sells. For a while the delivery guy was a retired NAVY veteran who did a great job but now there's a young guy who seems mad at the world 24/7.
My agency stopped using FedEx 8-10 years back due to multiple mis-delivery incidents involving packages containing PII/confidential info
l love UPS. I was merely stating GB might want to start their own service to further their own business.
i dont have much respect for fedex after they lost a thousand rounds of mine back in MAY. Twas ammo for a prairie dog shoot in New Mexico. They were unable to deliver due to all the New Mexico forest fires this Spring. Rather than returning to me they delivered it 140 miles from the fire. Their reaction. ''Sorry. These things sometimes happen""😖
I have had terrible experiences with Fed EX. Leaving packages at wrong locations multiple times. UPS has been very good though. UPS lady does a great job and even rewards my dogs with dog bones.
GB starting a shipping/delivery service is one of the best ideas I've seen on this board in a while. It's a very tough market to break into though. DHL has had a rough go, as one example. But with all the restrictions on shipping guns, and ammo it might be a ripe market for it.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
I got my ups firearm restrictive firearm account I plan to offer the service for folks but if you notice on the other side that a lot of regular joe sellers have gone 99% of sellers are dealers
Fed Ex just dropped a package off... Never had an issue
Fed Ex destroyed $2,500 bucks worth of meds by leaving on the front porch, you have to walk through a garden and grass to get there. It is never used by me. The meds sat in the sun for at least four days and require refrigeration. USPS, UPS and the pizza guys goes to the back door, the walk is at the back door the paved drive is at the back door. Only the dolts at FEDEX deliver things to the front door or steal them as in the case of the weedwhacker.
UPS guys are very well compensated.
My son retired from U.P.S. with 34 years. He liked them.
Well if I was Stephen, I would keep stealing those packages, to get some more baked goods!!!
