Anyone notice Fedex changed their operating procedure? They do not ring bells or knock anymore. They just leave the parcel and run. I noticed that a month or so ago and thought it was just that driver but it seems they all do it now. I guess when they save 5 seconds per stop it's that many more deliveries they can make.
Yes siree! Thats what they do. I guess everything today is fast as you can. UPS at least rings the doorbell.
They do?? Must be an Eastern thing. My USPS carrier always rings the bell to tell he left a package. Haven't noticed any other service doing that.Quote:

Around here the UPS guy toots the horn as he is pulling up, hollers UPS !!! and drops it off, unless he needs a signature. Fed-Ex is in stealth mode. Silent but efficient. USPS still knocks around here.
Stealth deliveries can be a good thing, you can intercept them before the SWMBO even realizes you spend a couple hundred on that. Lol
Usually hit or miss here!
I don't know, He probably try's to ring the doorbell, it doesn't work but we ahve a verry reliable shoarma place next door to guard the package, he even asks for ID when I get my dilivery :P
My Fed-ex guy does not even come down my driveway. He parks on the street run down the hill and dumps it over my fence. I have watched him from my shop.
UPS brings treats for my dogs, brings it to my shop if I am there and if he has time will BS about cars for a little.
Even the USPS comes down the drive and hons
I'd be willing to bet it's all about the individual and how he or she handles the demands of the job and management.
UPS always rings the bell here and sets a package down off the porch where it is not visible from the street or sidewalk. Our mail carrier, if I am not in the garage, will set any package over a locked gate on a built out shelf and the regular mail goes in the mail box. Our local fedex driver is a cigar smoking buddy and does not stop unless my car is out front of the house. If no car he is back the next day.
Spendur getting his new computer,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,:D

Our old UPS guy wouldnt even come down our driveway, yeah it was that bad. Fedex comes in in stealth mode which is good cause i could tell SWAMBO that i bought the new power tools weeks ago :). UPS hasnt been at my place in a while. I dont know what mode they're in now.
