I'm at the lease, wife is at home and hears a loud impact and breaking glass sound near the front door. She opens up to see the Fed Ex truck haulng a-- away from the curb and sees this: ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/09/full-53199-432161-img_2215.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/09/full-53199-432162-img_2213.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/09/full-53199-432163-img_2212.jpg) It's the spare tire and wheel I ordered for my Ranger thrown on the porch and into a large flower pot. The Fed Ex driver actually posted an identical picture on the tracking page to show proof of delivery. I've learned that Fed Ex mostly contracts out ground service. This is what happens when you give up total control of your business. A few phone calls and we have a check on the way for replacement of this and another matching pot. If the driver had of knocked, shown us what happened I promise you that would have been the end of it and we wouldn't ratted him out. As it is..............Fed Ex is paying and I don't know or care what happens to the driver.
An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.

So that's where our FedEx girl got transferred.

I receive shipments 6 days a week from UPS and Fedex. I have had more battles with Fedex than UPS. At one point I would have 3 Fedex trucks a day come in, one was standard delivery, one was standard pick up and one was home delivery. Most of the drivers were contract employees that did not make much per hour with no benefits.
Does not seem like a profitable business model.

We had to call and complain about our FedEx driver. He started putting deliveries right up to the garage door. I came very close to backing over the delivery a couple of times. We have a Ring doorbell to tell us when we have a delivery, but it doesn't pick up packages put next to the garage door.

FedEx truck took out our brick mailbox and the neighbors as well 2 years ago. Have no idea how he did it but they were obliterated. FedEx paid for new ones but it wasnt exactly an easy resolution.

I have found them sitting on my pickup tailgate , in the driveway , that i can't see from the front door

My wife would have blamed me for ordering the tire that broke her pot!

My wife would have blamed me for ordering the tire that broke her pot!  She's used to the run up to deer season onslaught. Thing is, I gave her a heads up that it was coming. Not to sit around and wait, just a please move it inside I'll take care of it when I get home request. The Conex build was a pretty heavy Amazon presence for lighting, some electrical, door hardware........ Until this I had no issues with FedEx.

It's unfortunate we have to play defense with these idiot drivers.

There's apparently some kind of FedEx force field that prevents them from getting to me.
