Before there was FedEx Ground pkgs were sent by UPS up to the point where people realized they had to use FedEx Express to make sure their pkgs made it. Pretty much every year UPS drivers ran up until the last week and then cruised while Express went crazy. It's no different with Ground now, so let's get off our high horse about how well Ground is being run. Better count your blessings that you don't have to deal with the mess Express does, and once again it shows that Ground and Express are two different animals. And Serco sorry, wasn't referring to you.

FedEx is projected to handle 275 million shipments, and "operated with very high service levels -- over 99% at FedEx Ground, for example -- during our busiest time of the year," Fiedler's statement said.


Had to laugh at the PR spin here. Point out the good numbers at ground, don't mention the service numbers at express. In times like these it pays to have separate opco's.

I'm sure they were hard at work crafting that statement dec 10th. Better to have a good excuse then A solution to the bad service.

True, but UPS would love to be able to spin that distinction right about now.
