[QUOTE="LarryBird, post: 4111817, member: 76548"] The problem is the pickup time is scheduled for 3:30pm, with a pull time that's supposed to be at 4:00pm, and FedEx shows up at 2:00pm, loads up what they have processed by then, hangs out til 2:25pm, and leaves during DLA's afternoon break. DLA return to spend the next 1.5 hours of their day processing orders that don't go out. I get it - FedEx isn't very worried about servicing one of the biggest nationwide shippers. Who's gonna bend over backwards for a measly account, like the DOD, that only ships 10s of thousands of packages per day. I don't blame them - it's not like the base is it's own whole day run, and the only thing they have to do that day...oh wait - it is, and it is. That's probably why our pile has gained so much volume back in the past year, and it's now bigger than FedEx again, despite the shipping contract not being up yet. I'll be there today. I'll take a count and note the packages left at the DLA shipping area. [/QUOTE]
