I thought FedEx was supposed to be better than UPS

Their service sucks at least in this instance. Ordered a new barrel last week. It arrived in Vernon Tx on Saturday night.
they said expect delivery on Wed. Ok, maybe it'll come sooner.

It didn't track again until Tuesday and its in Ft Worth. ok... well, I checked today thinking it was in Abilene out for delivery... no, now its in Hutchins and not expected to deliver until tomorrow.

So, my package has been in Texas for 4 full days within a few hours drive from me and it will take them another day for a total of 5 days from the time it entered Texas to get to me

The post office priority mail would have beat that for about 1/2 the price

Why would you think that?

My package from Mckinney went through El Paso. USPS.

wow, that's efficient. Still I bet it didn't take 5 days

These people don't understand that when we order gun stuff, we need it, bad, there is no time for screwing around.

I found that using the lowest rate shipping is a complete crap shoot.

Paying extra for the faster shipping gives slightly more reliable results.

FedEx has been unreliable at best for me as well, I've tended to get my shipments earlier and more direct with UPS here in Salado. Maybe its because their shipping center is in Belton.

FedEx. When it absolutely, positively, has to be there over night. Well, that's what they used to say.

I prefer UPS over Fedex. Fedex doesnt always make their own deliveries out here where I am, they hand it off on the day it is supposed to be delivered to the USPS instead and it takes another few days to get my shipments...

 

[majormadmax]

It's the other way around...

 

[baboon]

It's weather related!

I stopped using FedEx and UPS over ten years ago. I ship via USPS exclusively.

I live north of Dallas and have good luck with UPS and Fedex. They usually deliver as advertised. USPS can be a little slower not as reliable for the delivery date. Sometimes early and late. But I get everything and never had anything stolen from my doorstep.

Under 50 lbs ship USPS. Cheapest and usually within their estimated shipping times.

 

[Shotgun Jeremy]

Ever since FedEx started having the USPS start making thier final drops, it seems like I've had nothing but problems with them.

They still do that. It just costs $80/lb

I ship via USPS exclusively.

Unpossible for me. No guns allowed in their store.

No it's Racist related. Vmax doesn't like the "Brown" Carrier.

So true, half my shipments this year have had multi-day delay and four were completely lost. The tracking will show delivery has been made but days later the package shows up.

FedEx "smartpost" as they call it is one of the slowest was to ship since the pony express, I purchase a lot on line I've told various vendors I will not purchase if they ship smartpost.

Smartpost use to be an option, but now it seems some companies are calling Smartpost simply Fed Ex and I don't like that. I haven't had any problems with Smartpost, but I think it's misleading to not differentiate from both. One option to avoid SmartPost is to add ammo to the order then they cannot use USPS at all.

Of course companies don't want you to know its coming by donkey so they say FedEx but if its dropped at your local POit's smart post, now UPS has same set up but it is much faster.
