[QUOTE="trickpony1, post: 5921850, member: 1957"] Been a BC member for years but never posted on fedex board. Several days ago we got a pkg that was addressed to a person 25 miles away. I called the retailer and the receiver and all was made right. I did the honest thing. This is just one example. Fedex delivered a rather expensive pkg of ours to the house behind us. Same house number but different street. She did the honest thing. She walked the pkg to our house. If she hadn't, we would have been SOL. The picture of the porch clearly wasn't our porch. My question is: why is it so difficult to read the address on pkg, drive to that address and deliver said pkg. Do fedex "diads" have an obnoxious "scream" if driver isn't at the correct address? Do fedex diads have a beep or other indicator they are at the correct address? Are fedex drivers paid by the hour or by the pkg? Are fedex drivers subject to discipline for misdeliveries? I believe UPS drivers are. This feedah driver has enough on my plate. I can't consult, oversee or manage fedex operations. Thanks for any suggestions. [/QUOTE]
