FEDEX SUPPLIES REMOVED FROM DROPBOXES

[franknitty]

I just returned from vacation, and I see that all my FedEx dropboxes the supplies have been removed, and the supply area is permanently blocked off. When a customer opens the supply door there's QR Code to scan that's suppose to inform the customer where they can go if they need supplies to ship their package. Spoke with a co-worker and said FedEx has removed the supplies from all of her dropboxes, as well.

I hope FedEx isn't planning on placing FedEx supplies at the Walgreens locations, because it's really going to be show there.

There was something on Facebook a few weeks ago about this. Some guy in a wheelchair sued FedEx because he claimed the supply bins in the drop boxes were inaccessible to disabled people. He won the lawsuit, so now FedEx has to either redesign the boxes or just remove the supplies for everyone.

Just THINK of all the money FedEx is going to save by not providing supplies to its former customers!!!

I don’t discriminate. I don’t put supplies in any of my drop boxes.

Just think of all the Jet fuel FDX will save by not flying all the customer packages that have left for UPS..

RAJ "haha look at those UPS losers burning all the fuel...."

FedEx should just throw in the towel already, it's only downhill from here.

As long as Airbills are gone, I’m good with it!! Everyone should have to print label off computer.

You sure, volume seems to be good. Looks like fedex wants to be just good enough

Don't worry, we are doing our best to give them back to you.

Some people are just looking for a come up. Unless he has no use of is arms, the supply shelves aren't so high he couldn't grab something. Maybe if something was at the very, very rear of the shelf, maybe. Props to all the dwarfs dealing with it without complaint.

Isn't this a blessing? No more airway bills

Funny thing is we have a
Dropbox maintenance position.. employee was stoked to take the position, drive around all week stocking dropboxes etc... now all they do is drive around wiping the dropboxes off...occassionally putting a new battery in. I can't even imagine how they justify that a FT position.

I think it is all the driving they do. The person in my area who has that job covers 75% of the state. That's a lot of time behind the wheel!

I don't think the job was to stock drop boxes. They guy that got that job around here many years ago covers quite a bit of the state. There is no way you are keeping that many drop boxes stocked. He was there to clean and repair any damage to the box and keep it in working order. Stocking was always the job of the courier that was assigned the box to keep it supplied.

That position was also there to report any boxes with few or no supplies. The guy who did it here thought he was the cat's meow.

They are milking it like many others, fedex will ultimately go out of business... Too much corruption.

When that position came open in our region, I inquired about it. I thought it would be an easy way to put in another 10 years with the company. Hourly rate was handler rate (might have been a bit less), and you could potentially drive 500 miles in one day. The driving didn't bother me. But, I couldn't take a 45-50% pay cut, no matter how easy the job is. You would carry some supplies, but that wasn't part of the job. The bulk of the job was to repair, and clean any reported drop boxes.
The biggest benefit was, there was only 1 other person covering the same area. So, I could have gotten any day, or week, off that I wanted.

I once found a dead maggot infested muskrat in one of my drop boxes. I knew something was wrong as soon as I pulled up to it. Black flys covered the box.
