The Xbox Series Launch Produced Some Noteworthy FedEx Encounters

Yikes, FedEx is one of the worst. I get probably 20-25 packages a week from all different couriers and have only had a problem with them. Unfortunately they're also the ones delivering the blue console tomorrow, definitely going to be working from the front porch so it doesn't get chucked onto the concrete lol!

Well fedex ***** alot of Canadians out of getting ours on launch day. So going with terrible.

Like preorder wont be here until friday...

These FedEx drivers should be sacked immediately, the first guy for stealing stock should be reported to the police and the last guy with so little respect for the customers property is disgusting

Mine came with Yodel and the driver knew what it was even though no labelling on the outer box at all.
Thankfully he just had a little troll at me saying "I bet you've waited all day for this." This was at about 4PM. LOL

FedEx are like Hermes in the UK. No care given at all when delivering packages.

Hopefully these drivers are dealt with suitably by their superiors. Unacceptable customer service

Man I would be complaining like no tomorrow if I had a service like that from them!

Fortunately my experience was smooth sailing. I picked my X up from Best Buy during my lunch break with no issues at all. It was quick, calm, and easy. I didn't want to have mine shipped and risk it getting to me late or not even getting to me at all.

@Terrin FedEx are absolutely useless in Canada, I use Purolator every time.

I do love that door tag one. Too much sanitized, fearful culture these days, and it's fun to see playful humanism emerge from a corporate space, even if it's technically unauthorized.

I think it's fair to say they're all the worst, though obviously the local office doing the delivering varies depending on where you are. I've had some "fun" experiences with all of them. FedEx and USPS have the fun cases of delivered items that aren't (and in a few cases they later "found" them) and UPS with the ones that look like they burned down, fell over, and then fell into the swamp.

@Link41x I know sadly not like we had a choice as I pre-ordered direct from microsoft on preorder day saying hey will be here the 10th.

Problem is it sat in memphis until like 6 am yesterday... So it just hit canada now and where it's a holiday nothing is moving... Good times

@Terrin I'm a pi$$3D of Canadian too right now, but with best buy, not FedEx. Best Buy sent it out late, so instead of getting it on launch like I should have, I gotta wait for Friday too

@hYdeks that's my pickup date.. I am not super angry at microsoft or anyone just disappointed at everything going on..
I am going to have to get someone to watch my house as i was hoping to have it by today as I leave for like 2 weeks. And no way that survives sitting on my step for that length of time and no vehicle in driveway

No joke, my delivery guy wrote "garden shed" on the paper. This is also my storage location for deliveries. Everything fine.

But it was nowhere to be found in the garden shed.

So I checked the whole area and found my Series X in the damn garbage can.

I got a work mate’s Series X delivered yesterday by UPS (getting my own Series X in a few months) and on the sticker on the box where the name and address usually is, there was a description on the what was in the box and it said Xbox One S. I immediately thought MS Store had wrongly sent the wrong Xbox but when I opened it, it was actually the Series X. Even the paper inside the box with my personal info said Xbox One S. I assumed it was intentional to deter potential thieves within the postal sector or it really was a paperwork error, either way I still got the Xbox I ordered and £449.99 was still taken.

There are some jobs, delivery person/security, where the talent pool is maybe ankle deep. You're just not gonna get the talent that cares about doing a job properly.
I've had deliveries dropped off at my place of business, for someone else many a time. I've had security tell me "I dont give a ***** about this job" and I say "as a tenant of the place you're securing, maybe you shouldn't tell me that."
Be like Ari Gold. "If they ask you to pop a bottle of champagne or get the mail? You better be the best damn champagne popper/mail getter in the whole damn world. Have pride in what you do. Whatever you do."

Gotta say my UPS driver is cool, I have never had any issues with him. If I am not home he'll walk up and set the items on the porch in my chair, and often if I am home I'll go out to the truck so he don't have to get out.

Playstation is better? Imagine being a grown adult and actually caring about what game console people buy. I could never understand that mentality.

Well ordered from Argos, no notifications, came late but I did get 2 free controllers so that’s nice.

They delivered mine around 7PM. I had to wait the entire day and see other people streaming their unboxings.

@Jacko11 more like Yodel in my experience.

@JayJ imagine in this case the guy was just having a little joke with the person who just paid $500 for his Xbox

@MaxlRoseGNR I'm honestly lost right now. Do you have a local use of the dandruff that I've never seen before?.

Why would you accept large deliveries to your head?

@Richnj It's just germans being german. It's also a small village i'm living in. Everybody knows everyone over here.

@Richnj Oh sorry dandruff is not the word I was looking for. The translated word is just the same over here. Blame Google Translate. 😋

"Garden shed" would make more sense for you.

@MaxlRoseGNR Haha, that does make more sense.

@Kefka2589 I would. Losing both systems sound too risky. I don't have a series x yet but when I can find one and order one I'll be calling off the day of delivery
