Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

[mllud]

I've seen shennanigans from FedEx similar to that. More than once I've seen tracking saying 'out for delivery' but the driver never shows up that day. I work from home and my office window looks out on the driveway, plus I have a security system which alerts on movement in the driveway. At the end of the day the status changes to 'delivery attempted - nobody home'. Complete 'male bovine excrement'. Doubly suspect because I have a signature release on file so packages may be left without anyone present. I'd be OK with the status being "just couldn't get there today, will try tomorrow" but to lie is despicable.

They pull that same stunt with me consistently. I'm a mile down a private road.
Called it a weather delay Monday with clear roads and sunshine.
Lazy or can't wait to get home and pop that beer open. Blatant lies.
When it says out for delivery they should deliver unless they really have a good reason.

They get some shady drivers the way they contract out work.
One driver had wife and child in the van.

I'm less frustrated by the fact they can't get it delivered when it was 'out for delivery' than I am about the blatant lie that they document it with. I'm f'ing home and you didn't show up at all... Don't list it as 'attempted delivery - nobody home'. Especially when I have a sig release on file which make the entire premise invalid.

Yes the lie is insulting and underhanded. ln their list of reasons for not delivering they should be honest. (Couldn't make it today.

Its about them taking responsibility instead of blaming you or making false excuses.

I havent seen wife and child yet, but because of shady drivers that get exploited by the parcel companies, our government will fine if you hire a self employed worker, if the same job could be done by an employee.

Because the parcel delivery business is a mess, farmers who hire themself out to companies for 3 days in the week during winter, now have a problem; they have to insure themself for the whole week because they are self employed, yet for the days they work at someone else, forced as an employee, they have to pay into mandatory employee insurance as well...

Meanwhile the Dutch IRS is exempt from this rule, because in the past decade, so many civil servants have given up their job and then offered their services as a self employed "advisor" for 3 times their original salary, because the IRS would become too understaffed to nag the self employed, if they quit hiring these people who are now "consultants"

It doesnt effect me because i aint self employed, but the injustice aggrevates me....

Do these services still require signatures? I haven't had to sign for a package in ages, maybe a regional thing?

Around here it seems like few signatures required as the photo replaces that most of the time. Some things still do require a signature when the sender requires it. Also alcohol requires a signature.

I'm occasionally asked to sign for a non-special package when I go out and meet the driver. Some packages MUST be signed for, like when a cellular provider ships a cell phone or my company ships me a laptop. Sig release doesn't work for those.

FedEx policy here is a picture if the drop it, a signature if they hand it to a person. Not all drivers follow protocol.

I think the Fedex people use the "tried to deliver and not able to" is because they have no way to say they ran out of time on shift.

They are loaded with the idea that everything will go perfectly. So if the last one or two items puts them too far over shift they have no way to say that the pkg is still on the truck at return to depot.

Also here Fedex can be pretty bad about where they drop stuff when running late.
Nothing like wandering around looking to see where the package was dropped.
Kind of adventure I don't need

That seems consistent with what I've experienced.
