FedEx

I am quickly growing to hate this bunch of incompetent losers... They just keep letting me down.

Back in Feb I used them to send a birthday present and they botched it multiple times.

Now, they are the delivery company for a package I am anxiously awaiting. The transaction looks something like this so far:

How flippin long would you like my package to float around VA? And what is this "Package not due for delivery" crap after you put it on a truck and drove it around all day?

FedEx SUCKS! NOW GIVE ME MY PACKAGE!

UPDATE: My package was delivered this evening and after much personal temper tantrum throwing over my own subsequent, simpleton mistake, all is well with the package contents.

Outside of the office, which has a fed-ex account, I always use UPS. Never had a problem with them.

I know. That's of little comfort to you. If it's any consolation, I'm awaiting word on a fellowship grant that I applied for April 1, and was supposed to be decided by the end of April. I'm supposed to find out something tomorrow. A whole extra week of wondering whether I'll need to look at another FAFSA form!

Hope it all works out.
