I recently ordered a metal detector from Kellyco that was shipped from Tennessee with free shipping. The box was sent by FedEx.
When I went online to track my package, I learned someone had to be home to sign for the box. I really wish I had known that. I live alone and work all day during the time that FedEx delivers. Great. Now what?
I couldn't waive signing for the package.
I couldn't set up a sufficient window of time to sit home and wait for the box due to my work schedule.
I couldn't have them hold it at one of their "convenient" service centers because by they time I could get there, it would be closed.
My only option was to have them reroute the box to a retired relative's home.
The cost? A mere $13.00. So much for the free shipping.
Folks, most of us work and there isn't always someone at the house for the convenience of FedEx.
If you are going to use FedEx and require a signature, please warn us ahead of time so we can plan appropriately.
FedEx is good for office deliveries, but lousy for home deliveries. IMO.
