What's the ecommerce equivalent of dismissively throwing fragile packages over fences. Because I'm wondering what to expect if I every order something via FedEx's ecommerce system.
As if Amazon drivers are any better
It's a crapshoot regardless of the company. It just depends on how bad of day your delivery person is having and anyone is capable of having a bad day.
It's very area-dependent. In my area, all delivery people are fine, but FedEx consistently can't get their delivery estimates correct and my packages overall tend to be in worse condition from them.
I guess I've been lucky. All the ones I've had deliver stuff to me have been very considerate.
Of course, now I've just jinxed myself.
Got a package delivered by Amazon the other day. When I got home it was on the porch. When I checked the delivery notification the photo was of my neighbors porch. Guess they redilvered it, thanks neighbor.
Sending you wrong things that are cheaper than what you ordered?
