[QUOTE="FedExRookie, post: 1303638, member: 44400"] 1. UPS wasn't a 'fall guy' I was still waiting in line, up to 4 hours, at a UPS pick up location the 2nd week of January. They deserved all the blame they got. 2. Huh? 3. I've seen the packages in puddles of water, but this isn't anything special to this peak. I'm not saying it's ok, this is why I don't ship with anyone if rain is in the forecast. 4. I'll agree, while I know of at least 15 stations (My district and others) that only had a handful of packages left in the building after 12/28, I am sure 99% is probably exaggerated by Corporate. Just realize that for every warehouse you saw with packages being left overnight, people like me had areas that barely had any and were delivered by that Saturday. I'm in one of the biggest districts, and have family and friends in major districts for express, and overall the warehouses weren't that packed with left over packages. Peak was bad for ALL parcel companies, you have a better shot at focusing on damaged packages and lates (seems like a really bad year across all 50 states) in general. So customers have to pick between two companies that couldn't handle the volume, it's not like UPS gave them any reason to pick them over FedEx or USPS. 3 visits (3.5 hrs, 4 hrs, 2 hrs) to UPS had me standing in long lines to get my packages that had been out on the road several times, but hadn't been delivered. Mine were on the road (2, 3, 1) [/QUOTE]
