#Fedex ground dt tracking full#

So, this misplaced 747 was full of M1s, A2s all with Denver bound NDA packages.Īnd that's why ramp operations wanted to get rid of the guy. A 747 can take several straight down the middle and A2s to the sides. M1 air containers can handle about 300-600 packages depending on size. Most 747 cargo planes can use M1 air containers. If incoming aircraft are late then a lot of times packages get belly loaded (meaning loose in the cargo area) so that Denver departs on time. Anything going to Denver is hot because the aircraft for that leaves at midnight. I was told that it happened on a Friday and the plane was discovered on a Monday, presumably when the pilots showed up.Īt the Ontario UPS hub, Intra sort handles NDA. Package tracking was either in it's infancy or non-existant at the time. Either this 747 didn't make the list or it just got overlooked.

#Fedex ground dt tracking manual#

This was back in the mid '90s before UPS had fully automated everywhere so I guess they had a manual way of keeping track of things. He was the ramp manager and all the ramp personnell we dealt with (tug drivers) hated him. I’ve onky used DHL in the past for AppleCare (not sure if they still use DHL). I don’t do a ton of with UPS, but I haven’t had any problems with them over the past serval years. I generally drop the samples off but I’ve never had a problem with pickup either. I’ve never had ever an issue with delivery or timeliness. I use Fedex regularly for shipping medical-related samples to a lab. While you’d expect it to only take 2-3 days to mail a letter from the same post office to a location in the same time, the reality often seems to be more like 5-7 days. I will also say I’ve had some frustration mailing letters via USPS, particularly locally. How that’s possible, I have no idea (I didn’t know they delivered things that large- but that’s a hard box to lose). They managed to lose a 9ft long box with a projection screen in it for several days.

I had a period when they were like 0 for 5 on getting my packages delivered on time. Never on time- packages lost or going from California to Hawaii back to Massachusetts for delivery. I’ve had horrible luck with USPS for larger packages- regular priority mail seems fine. I avoid them like plague, ask order to use USPS or UPS. Reading replies it seems like where you live is critical factor to service.įedEx: HORRID, HORRID EXPERIENCE! Sign for packages left on door step, FORGED signature on package (that was left on doorstep), FAKE website tracking info (was home, even saw truck drive by, but web site said 'no on at building'), damaged goods. Yamato Transport ( Takkyubin): Used a few times, all good. Received full refund for order (so what I did receive I got for free).įedEx: HORRID, HORRID EXPERIENCE! Sign for packages yet simply left on door step, FORGED signature on package (that was left on doorstep), FAKE website tracking info (was home, even saw truck drive by, but web site said 'no one at building'), damaged goods. Month later tracking still said package was OTW!. Tracking kept saying it was in trait and due to arrive on day. Latest had a late package on doorstep that was ripped WIDE open! miraculously none of the bottles broke, buuuut the other package in same order was MIA. Broken item, lost item, mostly delayed packages. (NOTE: 95% is via eBay shipments, I wonder if that makes them make more effort.) My biggest gripe is the wait times at PO when I need to go (but better than lost package). Almost all issues was able to get resolved (just took forever).

Shipped and received thousands of packages, very, very few issues (and my fault in some of them). USPS: Over all I have had a strongly positive experience. I have used various shippers over my life, and my opinion. Reading on this post about troubles of eBay seller, made my think.
