Comments on: Could be big trouble for FedEx http://www.procurementalert.com/could-be-big-trouble-for-fedex/ Strong partnerships forge strong companies Mon, 25 May 2009 22:15:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc By: Susan http://www.procurementalert.com/could-be-big-trouble-for-fedex/comment-page-1/#comment-442 Susan Thu, 11 Sep 2008 23:39:46 +0000 http://www.procurementalert.com/?p=165#comment-442 I am involved first hand with a FedEx contractor. I have advised him to start looking for another line of business. It has been very difficult financially with the turmoil that the household has had to absorb. FedEx does not care about their contractors. To them, they are just numbers. The contractors are not their own bosses. Their boss is FedEx, which is not how the program is to work. This in turn affects the employees of the contractors. His contract is up in June, so we will be looking for another source of income, and sell the trucks to someone else. FedEx cannot have it both ways. I am involved first hand with a FedEx contractor. I have advised him to start looking for another line of business.

Spend more with FedEx, or file more damage claims with UPS. Especially if you're shipping or sending anywhere near Denver. In receiving maybe 20 packages per day, we receive at least one damaged product every other day...assuming it shows up at all.
