Fed Ex - Boo

Will requiring a signature make it any better? Anyone try that?

I tried that once, they still just dropped it and ran.

Well I guess I will be sitting on the porch for 3 hours then. You know the frog people know that these people do this.. thats just a way of getting out of their warranty. I know that most people KNOW they are expecting a package of live animals or insects and wouldn't want them to be left outside for hours.

You know I was thinking...the FedEx tracking number online will show what time the package was delivered. If I took a picture with my digital camera and emailed the seller right after I got it..That would show the email time stamp and I would have proof of the box. So wouldn't that work?

Or maybe I'll just sit on the porch for hours. LOL

Luckily I've only had UPS, and they do not require a signature which is a problem but at least they get up and walk to my door and ring the doorbell. I would be so mad if they didn't at least do that. -.-

I received a Tiger Salamander yesterday. The seller used to Fedex to ship it. I told my wife to keep an ear out for our dog to start barking just in case Fedex dropped the box off at the door, knocked then ran off. All they did yesterday was drop the box at the door. No knock at all. The only reason she went to the door is because when the guy dropped it off it got the dog barking. Thankfully the box, and the salamander was alright.

i am anxiously waiting for fedex to arrive also. i learned that when you put orders in you can put things in the comment area on the order form with shipping preferences like (wait for signature) or (leave at door) and they most of the time pay attention to it a little more

I am glad that the salamander has arrived safely, but it does burn me when these *******s can't even be bothered to ring a bell or knock. It really burns me when the weather is bad.

Keep in mind that it is against FedEx policy to deliver live animals to a residence. Therefore, vendors that use FedEx have to "secretly" ship animals to residences. "secretly" shipping animals is pretty risky (Lacey Act)...

UPS allows animal shipments, is cheaper, has earlier guaranteed delivery times than FedEx, and has been independently verified has more reliable (in regards to meeting their delivery guaranteed time).

That happened to me.... I had ordered a map turtle and a mud turtle.... The map turtle was fine but the mud turtle died a week after.... The damned turtlesource didnt replace it. .___. I wanna order something from that site and wait for the same person to come by and knee him in the sac and be like. THATS FOR MY TURTLE! :U Or borrow my friends dog to chase and bite him. xD
