Should You Gift Your FedEx Delivery Person Despite Service Issues?

[ameliasurf]

hye just wondering.... has anyone every talked to their fed ex person or given them a gift for delivering their packages?

if so... any ideas?

 

[Tropicalburstqt2]

That's a good idea. Might make him stop putting my package in front of the door where I can't get in.

I often leave a loaf of bread from the mini-load pan when there is a pick up or if I see him. He delivers in the afternoon when we are outside playing so it's easy to do. I don't ever expect this very friendly guy to do anything with Pampered Chef but he treats me right. Victor is his name and he is the best! He deserves any food I give him.

Um, my person rings and runs so fast I have no chance to pamper him or her. LOL!

 

[wadesgirl]

You mean there is an actual person who drops those packages off? I've never seen or met my FedEx person! They typically don't even ring the bell. And most of the time I'm at work when they drop stuff off. But it does sound like a very good idea you never know what you will get from it.

I don't pamper my delivery driver, but our National Account Rep. for work is one of my best customers.

LOL!! I've never met mine either, but DH is usually around, so I'm sure he's met him. Wonder what DH would say if I asked him to give the fed-ex guy a gift next time he came.........would probably tell me I'm crazy! hehe

ROFLOL! That would start rumors with you and/or him!

No doubt!!! My guy literally runs up to the door, drops the package in a chair I've got, rings the bell and runs back to his truck!

There are times when we come home from work with no packages at the door and then leave later on to find packages there. Sometimes we don't even hear the truck outside!

That's a good idea. Might make him stop putting my package in front of the door where I can't get in.

Or at the back, where we both risk life, limb and breakage to get it past the icy sidewalk!

But I've only SEEN him once ...

 

[Kristina21]

I see mine everyday at my work...it would be kind of weird. Although when he does have to deliver to my home and work on the same day he tells me where he left it or if he left it with my neighbor who is also a consultant and good friend of mine. hmm....

 

[erinb]

I actually saw mine the other day. We were in the midst of an ice storm when he delivered my supply package. I never would have noticed if I didn't catch a glimpse of him doing this little baby step shuffle down the steep side of my drive way. I couldn't figure out why he was walking like that until I noticed the icy overlay. I was actually daydreaming of sneaking out the back and scaring him, making him slide the rest of the way down.

 

[ameliasurf]

see ...mine is a girl that delivers the packages and i think it is the last one on her route!

I haven't done anything for my driver - but he's awesome - his name is Rodney and he brings my packages into my living room when I'm home. Gotta love that service

DITTO Gina!!

My FedEx man is Chris and he is very personable and very likeable. Whne it rains and I am not home, he wraps my packases and neatly stacks them nest to my front door.

I gave him a $25.00 SUBWAY card for Christmas and he left me a thank you card...

I feel so Pampered by him :balloon: :angel: :sing:

 

[jrw3]

My Fedex lady will bring in my packages when I am home. When I got my samples of paper work for spring, she handed me the box and said "here's your catalogs!" I think she delivers to all the consultant in town (there is only 5 or 6 of us). She is wonderful to me.

 

[Shawnna]

I have never seen my driver. He drops...and I mean literally drops...my packages onto my concrete porch and leaves. He has never knocked on the door. My husband has a catering business across the drive-way from our house, so trucks and cars are in and out of here all the time. I don't even pay attention to it anymore. One day I heard a loud bang at the front door...I was sitting at the kitchen table and by the time I walked across the room to the door the fedex guy was gone. He must have just threw the box on the porch. I have never received a Sample box or show boxes that was fully intact. They are all half opened or smashed. If it wasn't for the little post-it note on the door I would think he threw them from his truck...LOL But, I always get my packages on time and they have never been lost or left at someone else's house. So I will take the good with the bad as long as nothing gets broken.

This made me laugh this morning! My guy doesn't even ring! Just drops & runs, lol! I do know who he is though, because he gets gas in his truck at my family's gas station.

Are you sure we don't share the same person?

Although I am not sure I get the same person each time myself! Once, I was making the pretzal wreaths, and the bell rang (it was a couple of boxes) so I was able to give him one of those, but since...nada.

It would be nice if they greeted us, especially if there are two cars in the driveway. What happened to customer service?

 

[ChefBeckyD]

I have seen mine on 2 occasions, when I've happened to be where I could see him pull in - but he won't look at me or speak to me. My boxes always reek of cigarette smoke. My last supply order, instead of leaving it where it was dry under the eave by the service entrance, he left in a snow bank at the bottom of the porch. It was just a matter of sitting it to the left, or to the right - and he chose the snowbank over the dry concrete? Why???? Good thing I found it before my supplies were soaked!

 

[buckeyefan08]

My guy is great! I'm 3 weeks away from having a baby and he will not let me bring the boxes in. He always wraps them in plastic if we aren't home and stacks them neatly beside the door. I never thought to give him a home made treat! Thanks!

Wow that is awfully sweet of him! Why can't there be more like that around? I guess maybe there are, but we don't always get to get the "good stories"

 

[SassyCook]

My Fedex guy doesn't even knock or ring the bell. He just drops and runs. He also leaves thing at the wrong door.

Maybe we have the same guy.

oh my goodness we must have the same fedex guy, boy he has a long way to travel LOL! i have had to call fedex several times just in the last 2 months. i think out of all the packages i've had delivered to me he has only delivered them to the correct address maybe 4 times. and one time i had the rep from my home office call me a liar, i was given the supervisor's cell number and called him, not sure how much good that did, but i still have it just in case i ever need to contact them again. and they know me very well, the last time i called in the lady said yes, you you've called in a few times before and i said yes and i will continue to call everytime they mess up, yes i understand people make mistakes, but it shouldn't be as many times as my guy. and what's so funny is he knows where i live because of the times he's actually gotten it right, but somehow still seems to deliver to the wrong place. go figure lol!

 

[Christ Follower]

Probably not my fed ex guy but I have thought about pampering my mail man (oops, I mean "mail carrier"). He once mentioned that his wife has the simple additions. Although he called it "those ceramic plates." LOL!

Sounds like most of them like to play ding-dong ditch!

 

[PurpleAngel]

I should make some goodies up for mine...he's going to have a workout this week...2 shows and supply order.

 

[pamperedharriet]

My guy is great! He rings the bell, brings the packages in to my living room too when we are home (leaves them on my patio hidden when I'm not home). I've given him a twix it package to which he said I know my wife will loves these and thanks. He gets brownies, blondies, cookies or whatever I have baked and takes a catalog when the new season comes out. He says that one of these days he will surprise me with an order when I least expect it. I met him right after PC stopped using UPS and he lets me know when he'll be on vacation so if I don't get the same service he provides to know why. The other day someone else delivered and told me that Andy told him to take care of my packages.
