Customers Closed, Volume Down

[MassWineGuy]

Things seemed pretty busy so far this week, but yesterday a couple of regulars on my route were closed. One manager told me that volume throughout the district is way down. What's it like where you are? What will the company do? Reduce hours, eliminate routes?

There’s a lot of residential people ordering online more than usual. I would see how things pan-out the next week or to two before I believe what any manager says. Memphis puts the heat on managers to save the company money, so with several businesses closed that could be a convenient crutch for them.

Volume is steady here. We saw volume fall off from last year, after Christmas but it's been holding steady since then.

Don’t know about volume but my stops are like Peak.

 

[MassWineGuy]

This is all good to hear.

We just got a broadcast saying that FedEx Office hours are changing until further notice to 0900-2100. No deliveries prior to 0900 including holds. It does not include FXO locations in Walmarts.

 

[MassWineGuy]

The FXOs in my area have normal hours of 9 to 9.

Things have picked up every since the announcement of express to ground. Good increase in volume this past month. Last night was busy.

Commercial is down but residential is exploding. Thanks, Coronavirus.

You mean FedEx Ground won't be banging on my door at 7:30 a.m. like normal?

Of course they will. Why wouldn’t they? Lol.

Of course they will. Why wouldn’t they? Lol.

Because you posted "no deliveries before 0900"--that's why.

that's for fedex offices, not for your house old man. I mean, wouldn't 0730 be like, 1130 in senior time?

 

[It will be fine]

Where are they getting that dispatch time? We’re lucky if they’re done by 9.

In my area they are starting to flood the streets at 0730.

She posted "No deliveries prior to 0900 including holds". What the friend does that say? TTKU

I live about 7 miles from the FedEx building and I must be one of their first stops. They are always here by 0800
