Boycott FedEx immediately!

when the fedex guy shows up, i'm gonna video tape and question him where the door tag is, who signed for both packages, and get his response. gonna make it not noticable and leave his face out of it, but it should be pretty entertaining.

It's behavior like this that makes responsible mature Apple enthusiasts look bad.
 
Jeez you would think this guy was waiting for a kidney for a transplant that will save his life, and today is the last day for it to work.
 
I never pre sign delivery. What I do do is leave a note on front door asking the fed ex man to ring my door bell a few times and the note tells him I am home.

Works every time and it worked toda!! :)
 
There is at least some merit to what the OP is saying; regardless of his personal antics.

My package today @ 2:59 got marked as Exception customer not at home or business closed.

Huh, I left a waiver on the door, what kinda tomfoolery was going on!?

So, I call FedEx and they tell me the driver has the discretion to not leave it (even with a waiver) if he feels the package isn't safe. Then he tells me I can travel to the hub and pick it up after 5pm.

Huh, driver discretion!? R U SERIOUS!?

So I accepted it for the moment and continued to monitor the tracking recoginizing that very few customer service reps EVER know what they're talking about.

3:11pm... BAM!!! Package delivered!!!

So, Fedex, customer service and the driver (electronically) LIED to me, just to keep themselves in the clear.

I sure it's a some alluded to, that these drivers today are swamped and are cutting corners to cover their arses.

I actually like FedEx too :mad:
 
OP, I hope things work out! I can understand being upset if FedEx is saying that someone signed for the delivery of your iPads!

Hopefully, they'll find them & you won't have to go through the process of trying to get your money back!
 
Normally i would just let this go but I thought I remembered the OP. In an earlier thread he was the one who called complaining to Apple about delivery trying to get a free case/Smart cover. This was on the 11th and he called Apple complaining that his tracking numbers weren't working. He said he talked to two people hoping they would offer free smart covers.

Sorry jazzmanmonty, if it did happen like you said I guess karma came around and bit you.
 
Yes, piss off your local Fedex/UPS driver and see where your next package ends up.

Gee, if you had a baby emergency or got called into work, you'd simply have to pick it up at the Fedex station. Seems like a much better idea than your $500 device sitting on a porch on iDevice delivery day.

But hey, why be rational. Boycott Fedex, and don't buy gas on Wednesday!

The driver did that so he/she would not get dinged for missing the 3:00pm delivery commitment (and the refund that goes with it). It's called "pre-sheeting" in the biz...
