I hate FedEx  

And I have a good reason too.
I ordered an MP3 player (Sony, not an stupid I-pod) from an Amazon.com vendor. 
They ship thru FedEx and require a signature.  This sounds great, this way my package can't be stolen off my porch!
Well it only sounds "great" in theory.

In reality I came home two days in a row to a note on the door saying "We were unable to deliver your package because it requires a signature."
Well, duh.  I don't get off work till after 5pm you dumbos! 
After the first note I called FedEx and they wrote the driver a note, but no guarantees, so I also left a note on the door. 
Sure enough, they tried again, at 2pm.
Now this isn't that big of a deal except that in EVERY OTHER CITY I've had a FedEx package delivered in, they move the drop off time by three hours every day. 
Example: 1st day = noon, 2nd day = 3pm, 3rd day = 6pm.
But FedEx never even offered me this service!  They basically said, well if you're not home, that's your problem
(Oh and they didn't offer a TOA for the package either...so I'm supposed to sit on my butt all day waiting for their truck? Yeah, right). 
Instead I had to drive to Sacramento to pick up my package at a facility, which has no public phone number and did not provide me with their hours of operation. 
So I think that I spent a total of 2.5 hours tracking down/picking up my package...What a waste of time!
That's why I hate FedEx.  I'll never voluntarily use their service EVER AGAIN. 
You just lost a customer you pricks.
On the plus side, the MP3 player works just fine.  Black is such a nice color.

Thank you megan, you have reaffirmed my belief that there are people who realize that there are quality mp3 players out there that aren't ipods :)May your computer be virus free for the next 30 days. Sucks about fedex though.

heh
Thanks for the blessing T-man. my computer, in the year and 3 months I've had it, has set a new record of having 1 and only 1 virus. And yes, it is hooked up to the internet. I'm loving my Sony NW HD5 :D
