What's the ecommerce equivalent of dismissively throwing fragile packages over fences. Because I'm wondering what to expect if I every order something via FedEx's ecommerce system.

As if Amazon drivers are any better

It's a crapshoot regardless of the company. It just depends on how bad of day your delivery person is having and anyone is capable of having a bad day.

It's very area-dependent. In my area, all delivery people are fine, but FedEx consistently can't get their delivery estimates correct and my packages overall tend to be in worse condition from them.

I guess I've been lucky. All the ones I've had deliver stuff to me have been very considerate.

Of course, now I've just jinxed myself.

Sending you wrong things that are cheaper than what you ordered?
