FedEx Complaint - Premium cost without service - overnight letter package

overnight letter package - Complaint
Review by darrellmoeck261 on 2011-05-01
I wanted an overnight letter package via FedEx delivered next day (4/21/11 Thursday to 4/22/11 Friday) and two different FedEx offices said it could not be delivered until Monday 4/25/11. Granted, this was the Easter weekend, but FedEx promotes 'guaranteed' overnight delivery. The cost was the regular "overnight" price, but no "guaranteed" delivery until Monday 4/25/11.

Next time, I will use USPS with a four day turnaround at 50% lower cost.

it depends on the location of the delivery. some areas did not get fedex deliveries on 4.22.11. most business did.

Are you always going to be shipping on Easter Weekend? If so, then USPS may in fact be the way to go.

OTOH, unless you hit some other holiday, FEDEX may be a good option. If you want truly guaranteed overnight service all the time, you may have to hand carry your package to its destination.

Yes, it does make a difference due to locations. Sorry they could not accomodate you.
