Don't really wanna start a new thread so bringing back one that is related.
Are y'all seeing major delays in FedEx deliveries? Waiting on two packages, and I could drive to the shipper for package 1 or drive to the FedEx Ground Hub where its currently sitting quicker than these fools are taking to get packages to customers.
YES! I sent some documents two-day Fed-Ex last Wed to be delivered on Friday. Still in limbo in Memphis.
Shipping from Houston to Burnet, TX ....but stuck in Memphis because "Fed-Ex doesn't own a globe" (apologies to the great Ron White I just had to).
It's hard to explain to someone who hasn't worked at FedEx, but this is the "wheel spoke" logistical model that had made us so efficient at global delivery, especially in the states. You might love in Texas and ship your neighbor a package, and if you ship it priority or a higher service, it might travel all the way to Memphis (or sometimes Indy) before returning back to your next door neighbor the next morning. Doesn't seem efficient in those examples, but creating centralized locations where all freight is initially diverted before being dispersed back out allows us to do what we do.
