Delivery Exception ! What's up With This....

[janetupnorth]

My show being shipped to a customer lists a DELIVERY EXCEPTION today as well. It has been on track to be delivered today, and now it says it has been "transferred to an authorized agent for final delivery" with a delivery date of tomorrow! I know that she lives in a rural area, but when I mentioned delivery by Fed Ex she never said that "they don't deliver there" Wonder what's up with that?

Christy - in very rural areas, FedEx hands the package over to sub-contractors that they hire for final delivery. They do this a lot at Christmas time due to the volume, etc. Our FedEx Sales Rep at work said it is common in rural areas because they cannot physically reach ALL areas. He told us though if there are any problems to report them right away for FedEx.

I live in NW Ohio and we are getting a blizzard!!!! We are expecting 6-8 this afternoon and an additional 4-6 tonight. My supply order was shipped and I now have a "Delivery Exception" on my tracking. I wonder if it is the weather????? DUH!!! Everything here is cancelled including colleges. Of course I am sitting here at work. As much as I would love to get my shipment, I don't think anyone should be out driving in this stuff unless it is an emergency. Even the expressways are starting to close down because of black ice. Right now the temp is 14 degress and the winds are going to gust to 35 MPH. BABY IT IS COLD OUTSIDE!!! So...FedEx driver... please stay safe...get off the road...and go home. I can wait another day or two for my things.

So far, I really have no complaints - everything has been delivered in a timely fashion. My delivery guy just drops it off and runs, but my UPS guy did that, too, unless he saw my van in the driveway. Then he'd knock and actually help me put the boxes in my house if there were a lot.

What I do find weird is that Fed Ex pulls into the driveway. We have a very short driveway and I would think it would be easier to just pull up in front of the house. If I ever see the guy, I'm going to ask him if it's possible to just pull up. There are so many kids running through the neighborhood (including my own) that I'm scared he's going to hit one backing out one of these days.

I haven't had any problems either. With the bad weather tonight it should be a good night to get on the phone ... people should be home don't you think? I am just keeping my fingers crossed nobody looses any power. Those of you in the middle of the blizzard ... please be safe. I don't have a show until Thursday. Things should be clear by then.

So today, this HUGE Ryder rental truck backs up into my driveway, and sits there for almost FOREVER.....I was getting ready to go see what was going on, when suddenly this guy appears around the corner of the truck carrying a manila envelope....It was FedEx! In a Ryder truck??? Very Strange - and if I hadn't gone out to meet him, he would have left the envelope on my front steps, in the snow. I really want to be positive, but I sure do miss my UPS guy! I don't think I've had the same FedEx person twice.
