Fedex

Well I win two auctions last thursday from reefpets first because paypals logic is so out on a limb they don't pay reefpets till yesterday nowour freindly morons at fedex say your priority overnight will be there a little late because of fog. Well that's fine except its been on the truck for three.hours 10 min and it only takes 25 mind to drive around the entire city. I know I am not the only package but how many by 1030 packages does on truck have considering business open at 8 and you have to be done by 1030. Sorry for venting just not real happy at.the moment.

 

I often have issues with FEDEX and UPS.

USPS seems to have better service IMO.

 

I've ordered numerous livestock online, and after having FedEx shipments show up after 1:00 PM 4 times, pay extra to certain vendors to ship UPS. I actually had a shipment show up at 9:50 PM. The webpage had stated it was delivered at 10:30 AM, which it was not, and I was home the entire day. I had called a few times throughout the day complaining about it. The following day, a delivery man showed up "defending" himself and threatening me. Now I'm not saying FedEx is bad all over, just here. I've never has a problem with UPS or USPS here, but have read elsewhere that many people do. FedEx is the choice of most vendors due to "success" rates and shipping rates being lower than competition.

 

Unless you have your paypal set up with two different accounts, it takes 3-5 days to process a payment with paypal. If you have your paypal linked with a checking account and a credit card, you can make payments instantly.

Fedex never delivers our overnight shipments tell after 6PM. Reef2go and a fish store in Sacramento both overnighted with Fedex and they would arrive at our house 6-7pm, every time.

The corals/fish should be fine. My brother sent us 7 coral frags, no heat pack in December, and 6 out of 7 corals lived. The water was close to ice cold. LPS and softies were of the corals.

 

I have never had a problem with either of them, in fact most of my packages have came a few hours early from the estimated time range.

 

haha its blue

 

Well I guess if you didn't pay for it to be by 10:30 then whatever but you pay and the part that gets me is they look at you like whats the problem. I will tell you this if a driver shows up at my house to give me problems it wont say that company name on the side of there trucks anymore.

 

Shoebox Parcel Service = SPS (kinda works for the hobby!!!!)

 

FedEx gets on my nerves here. If they deliver to me from the east coast, the package first gets trucked through here, to Sacramento, then comes back here. That's 500 extra miles and two extra days. It just doesn't make any sense, not only from a customers stand point, but makes absolutely no business sense either. I wonder how much money they waste in a year forcing the Sacramento station to process east coast packages for northern Nevada as to if they just let the Reno station do it.
But like mission said, it really all depends on your location. Here, usps is absolutely horrible. They only have a 68% success rate with local letters. I constantly have old friends that will ask me if I got their letter or card they mailed, and have no clue what they are talking about.
