in his defense, I do think it's dumb that USPS delivers every day in the electronic age.

Don't get me wrong, I think there needs to be a cheap non-commercial delivery service alternative. But in the age of e-mail and the USPS is having problems, why the fuck do they need to deliver every day? All I get from them is fucking fliers and ads. Why not cut back on delivery days? maybe only deliver 3 times a week, or hell..why not once a week? If you're actually writing a simple letter, sorry it doesn't need to be there that fast. If you wanted fast, you'd use e-mail. so why not cut back on how many delivery days there are?

As for Fed-Ex/UPS why do they deliver during the day when the vast majority of us work 8-5? I live in an apartment complex with an apartmant office so they just deliver to that and I pick it up when I get home, but my previous apt didn't have that so I had to routinely drive out to UPS/FedEx to get my stuff and it's annoying as hell.

oh and also.....FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!

This made me itchy =o/

They look like ants! Do I make you itchy?


Well, now that you mention it =oP

If my computer ever got that dirty I'd just run it through the dishwasher.

Then, within 3-5 days FedEx would deliver me a nice, clean one.

He's rather nervous, isn't he? Admittedly, if there's something to it, he'll be floating down the Thames soon enough.
Normally, I'd say noone is stupid enough to try a fraud based on these blatantly preposterous figures. Then again, they did find $6T worth of fake US bonds last week, so anything goes, apparently.
I bet those 750 thousand tonnes of gold were shipped and Somali pirates snatched 'em.
Or maybe they were FedEx'ed and Tom Hanks and Wilson are now building a mansion with it on some godforsaken island in the middle of nowhere, like Guernsey.


Jesus turned the gold to paper, then Heath Ledger collected it into a large pile and burnt it all.

Is it possible that package is not from FedEx?

My UPS guys has been my UPS guy for almost 10 years. We're friendly with each other, he knows my name and where to leave packages if nobody is home. If there were a reason to, I'd be happy to give him the door code to my garage so he could leave a package in there if I was out of town.

I don't know that I ever get the same Fedex guy. Not that this necessarily means anything in the grander scheme of things, but I prefer to ship via UPS because of this.

oh man fedex execs are rolling over in their offices... i think this is entirely bad press even with conan getting it and making fun. on the other hand, i think i trust my fedex person more than ever at this moment

>> ^conan:

what's with the editing? this is unwatchable.


I couldn't find a version without it, unfortunately. But I still felt it was worth posting for the pre-edited content

I don't know what everyone is complaining about. At least you got your packages delivered. In two out of three overseas shipments that I was to receive, handled on both sides by fedex, the delivery got as far as the delivery van and then got sent back. No attempts at delivery, no attempts at calling me, nothing. Just sent back without a comment. No Fedex ever again, if I can avoid it.

>> ^conan:

aren't there laws against filming public space in the US? At least in Germany it would be highly illegal to have a private camera filming anything other than your own private grounds.


No, and it absolutely should not be illegal for anyone to film any public place. Especially citizens filming cops -- it keeps the cops honest.

I know alot of high paid people who hate their jobs. I don't play violins for them, but I do empathize.

On the FE/PO relationship: from wikipedia: FedEx SmartPost specializes in the consolidation and delivery of high volumes of low-weight, less time-sensitive business-to-consumer packages, using the US Postal Service[2] for final delivery to residences.

Agree agree agree on your last point.
>> ^shagen454:

Not that it even matters to me, but first class mail will be replaced by FedEx and UPS priority deliveries as first class mail will become a two day service.
The guy probably does not hate his job's payout because even a SCM makes over 130K including bonuses so I'm sure this guy is rolling in it. Never ever heard about USPS handling FedEx duties.... I still stand by my statement FedEx fucking sucks a corrupt company; but I guess that doesn't make them much different than most corporations in the America? And people seem to be fine with that.
>> ^longde:
@shagen454 Of course within your post you directly addressed the teleprompter guy: "the way this guy speaks, completely disingenuous, stale, planned is exactly the way that company is all the way to the top." ; that's why I responded acerbically. I really don't know what you expect that guy to do. I'm sure he hates his job too. No need to dump on him in an empty way if your target is really FedEx.
People didn't "fall for" it; I would guess the 3 upvoters (wow, how many power points will that get me?) were simply rubbed the same way I was with your post.
I am a little familiar with the operations of FedEx, UPS and the Post Office. I wouldn't want to be a grunt in any of those places either; having my times constantly checked. Does that mean I would chuck a monitor over a fence? At least they didn't can that guy.
Since Fed Ex is actually contracted by the Postal Service for some mid- and long-haul routes, shutting down the Postal Service would actually hurt some parts of FedEx. Also, I don't think that UPS or FedEx will offer a replacement for 1st class mail.
