I've never had a problem with FedEx.
I suppose it depends on where you are. Some years ago a box of motorcycle parts sat in Topeka for two days at the FedEx depot even though the parcel was scheduled to be delivered on a Thursday before a long weekend. After a call on Friday evening to FedEx customer service the agent promised to call the depot and give me a call back. About a half hour later she returned the call and was obviously frustrated by the run around *she* received. The parcel arrived on Saturday and my weekend wasn't entirely wasted. FedEx is not my first choice. My August QST is a couple of weeks past due and ARRL is sending a second copy. That is the first time since February 1983, as I recall. I don't really recall an issue with Parcel Post and they even delivered a motorcycle fuel tank the seller left stale gas in! They had to know as after less than an hour in the house it was obvious there was old gas in that box! All of them will have problems from time to time. It all depends on how they're resolved and the attitude of the people we deal with. 73, de Nate >> -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
