Default FDX - Customer Service A+

Here' a story for you. Wife ordered a bike on the internet as a Christmas present for my son. Door bell rings, there's a UPS guy standing there with the bike at his feet....as my son answers the door. "Hey, a new bike!!" There goes that surprise....

Today, A FedEx truck pulls in the driveway, the driver gets out of his truck, comes to the door, rings the bell, I answer. He says, "Sir, I have a very large home kitchen toy in the back of the truck...I didn't want to ring the bell and leave it here, you know how kids run to the door when the doorbell rings (why, yes I do). What do you want me to do with it?" I go open the garage and we sneak it in....beautiful!

I introduced myself, thanked him and shook his hand.

Way to go brown!

Nicely done FedEx!

Default special

now...isn't that special...btw hope you tipped the fedex driver for providing the extra special service..after all, he doesn't make near as much as the ups driver (who works for ups versus the fedex driver who really is just an independent contractor...yada yada yada...)

FedEx Ground Drivers are independent contractors. FedEx Express Drivers work for FedEx Express. ...yada yada yada.

Express = Orange

Ground = Green

Even my 5 yr old daughter can tell the difference and has been able to for almost 2 yrs! Now you can, too!

Good grief, FedEx and UPS pilots arguing over who has the best drivers! I say we argue over who has the best looking female pilots!! You do! No, you do, no you do!

Dude..these pics are great. The Ground guy looks like he is on our MEC and the Express driver looks like a reject from an 80's hair band!
