Hey... We have a Ravine Pennsylvania, but you don't want to go down thereIs your wife’s family comfortable digging their packages out of a ravine??….
I think our employee discount is greater when using Express…unless you’ve worked some other business arrangement
I used to pass through Ravine on my way to Raphine!
Of course had to hold my nose from the Tremont Exit almost all the way to Ravine!

I've only had issues with ground once. It was rectified by chewy, but ground was useless in resolving the issue. They assured me it was left at the right house because of the GPS coordinates. I asked for the coordinates, but they couldn't share the information. I can know the exact physical address, but not the coordinates.
The neighbor that had my packages was an elderly man with bone cancer. He called FedEx and told them he had packages at his house that weren't his. After a week of back of forth with them, he knocked on my door to tell me he had my packages, but he couldn't lift them..I went and picked them up.
So, you have 2 people calling with the same tracking info and shipping address and they still can't solve it.
I'm considering having my FedEx packages delivered to Dollar General, but I don't trust them either. Maybe Walgreens, but that's a longer drive.

I used my discount with express and it was definitely a discount. My packages arrived on time and good to go. Wouldn’t use ground!!! Stay away!!!
I ordered a 45lb barbell (7ft long 4 inch wide) from titan fitness and it some how disappeared and got lost on the ground dock. They tried to tell me some excuse then I said I’m a FedEx employee cut the crap lol.

I like when I call them directly and they ask "how'd you get this number?"

No idea who is handling them, but I think she was full of it and that's just something they say because it'll scare away people that are scamming.
Update. So UPS store was closed. So against my better judgment we went to FedEx office. So the nice lady with rainbow colored glasses and masked up to prevent whatever waited on us.
$59 to ship ground or $74 to ship express. I didn't even hesitate when I said EXPRESS!

Did you try New Penn for your shipping needs?
Um don't think they have a facility in Nashville. Also it was two boxes lol
Sorry, they want us to be salesmen too
I've hauled for Express once. Didn't get to go inside the facility, but everyone I interacted with was very professional, and they seemed to have a good system. No experience with Ground.
My brother worked for UPS a while ago. They loaded the trailers by hand with loose packages. Express loads the packages into big aluminum containers, and load those on the trailer. Not sure how FXG does it. Loading lose packages seems highly inefficient.
I've seen more FXG trucks in ditches than UPS. UPS typically won't drive more than 46 MPH, while FXG blows past me so fast they almost take my mirrors off.

It is -15% less efficient to load packages loose i.heard...at least that is what Wong told me....
