You nailed it but it's always easier to blame someone else...............
my gripe is when on multiple occasions they deliver to the wrong house. I’m fortunate he’s an honest man who brought them to me.
I bake Sunday and sent Monday a few dozen oatmeal raisin cookies, via USPS. To my amazement they all arrived on Wednesday!
Correct me if I am wrong, but is Christmas not the day when we are to celebrate the Savior’s birth? Gifts are nice, but haven’t we already received the best one of all? If a kid is crying on Christmas day because they only got 10 presents instead of 12, then that’s something that no material item can fix.
FedEx made five deliveries to me this past week on three different days, all Christmas gift cartons.....all on time. One reason is that we're having idyllic weather here in Florida.
Today I saw some TV film clips of the perfectly-ghastly weather conditions these guys were fighting in many parts of the country. Boy, did I feel for them. I also saw clips of the incredible, unanticipated volume of packages never experienced before because everyone is ordering over the web now and not going to malls. The company will certainly adjust next year.
If your little snowflakes don't get their CareBears and Lego sets till tomorrow or the next day, too freepin' bad. Life is not always a bowl of cherries, and it won't hurt the little darlings if they got a few cherry pits this Christmas. In fact, might be good for them to learn some life lessons and how to cope with them.

Talk about things to order a congressional investigation over! Not.
If you really want it there overnight, pay for the overnight delivery. But make sure it’s ready for shipping.
Freakin’ babies.
FedEx doesn’t deliver to my area, because it’s too far from their nearest big city for their liking. They were going to return the package that they were supposed to ship after telling the lie that I wasn’t home to receive it. The expensive automotive part in the package was broken, when I picked it up from a business closer to them.
I don’t order through Amazon, because Amazon won’t ship through a carrier of my choosing. There are many other vendors that will ship through a particular carrier like UPS or the Postal Service.
The news article mentioned thousands of late deliveries; but, also mentioned 137 million FedEx deliveries since 26 Nov 2015.
In other news UPS resorted to renting U-Haul trucks for use for auxiliary package handling, to cope with an unexpectedly high number of deliveries.
Their lack of planning does not create an emergency.
My husband left half of the presents setting in the hall closet when he grabbed the wrong bag.
But as we are all adults, no harm no foul.
People need to learn to relax a bit.
FedEx met one-day, two-day, and three-day guarantees 97.8% of the time this holiday season, compared to 97.3% in the 2014 season and 95.4% in 2013.
UPS, on the other hand, did better last year, according to ShipMatrix: It had a 95.5% on-time rate this year, compared to 98.1% last year and 93.9% in 2013, when the services also saw weather-related issues.
