More of a question than a rant. I have 4 packages that have to be picked up by FedEx. 3 are from the Kidde extinguisher recall and 1 is a return to Bass Pro for a defective product. I called FedEx today. They are picking up the Kidde extinguishers Monday and the Bass Pro Box on Tuesday. The fire extinguishers have the black and white hazardous label on them. Do they separate what truck can pick up certain boxes? Living the Dream | ||

I don't know about what truck can pick up at your house. BUT, the hazardous ones have to be handled differently at the hub and sometimes put in another sealed shipping crate and so forth. So that might have something to do with it. If not a hazardous material might spill or explode (like a battery) and damage A LOT of other packages. | |||

I drop off everything I want ship FedEX at their FedEX/Office location. I get a receipt and off I go. I used to call for pickup but so much hassle it's easier to drop off. Chris | |||

Exactly what I do. I ship and receive packages weekly at my home office. Their pickup service is unreliable. Also most people don't realize their is a difference between Fedex Express (Air and 2nd day service) and Fedex Ground. They won't take each others packages (you can tell by a large E or large G on the label) but the fedex hub or stores will take either of them. That might be your issue. Do they have E or G on them. Sometimes, you gotta roll the hard six | |||

Protip. FedEx Office (Kinkos) doesn't take the fire extinguishers. They don't think it be like it is, but it do. | |||

I'd bet the packages being picked up Monday are FedEx Express and the packages being picked up Tuesday are FedEx Ground. | |||

Fedex Ground picks up and delivers HazMat and regular packages. 10mm lays waste to entire cities, cuts through diamonds and will tear Superman a new asshole. - Parabellum Sex offenders can not be rehabilitated. It's in their wiring. They should not be released back into the general public. On the other hand they should not be warehoused either. I think they should be executed.....Spectre When someone tries to kill you, it doesn't matter how they are doing it. You're in mortal danger, and it's time to try to kill them back. Arc. ___ Kill every last one of these goddamned animals. We need a president with balls. We need leadership. We should be carpet bombing these barbarians wherever we find them, and we should be looking for them 24/7. We have to unleash Hell upon them. They understand nothing but death, so death is what we should bring them, wholesale.... Para I left "practical" behind many years ago. It was covered with my first Glock 19. (Fredward) | |||

Normally I would take the packages to my brothers business that has a UPS and FedEx pickup every day, but with the snow and my work schedule changing daily I chose to have them pick up the boxes at my home. Living the Dream | |||

Out here, FedEx has three different trucks and three different standards. One is a FedEx employee, and the other two are contractors. Who picks up what may vary based on the content of the packages. With UPS, it's only one driver for everything. | |||

Other way around. Hazmat goes ground. | |||

At least up here, FedEX Ground can pick up from a FedEx Express location, but not the other way around. Makes it a PITA as my company only ships Express, and I have a Ground location right down the street that I can't use. Why they break up their business like that I 'll never understand, but somehow it works for them. I shall respect you until you open your mouth, from that point on, you must earn it yourself. | |||

I just handed all the packed extinguisher boxes to my regular Fedex Ground guy when he delivered some other things. He took them and they are delivered - Never called anyone. -Scott -NRA Pistol Instructor -NRA Shotgun Instructor -NRA Range Safety Officer -NRA Metallic cartridge & Shotgun Reloading Instructor -MA Certified Firearms Instructor | |||

They haven't been picked up yet, they said by 7:00pm. I do notice there is the regular FedEx box truck, a FedEx van, and a smaller box truck that used to be DHL or some other smaller company that was bought out by FedEx. I think they are contractors. I see them drive by, but seldom do I hear them when they drop off a package. Living the Dream | |||

FedEx came, I told him I had another package that was scheduled for tomorrow. The driver said why should I make a trip tomorrow when I can take it now? Good for both of us. Living the Dream | |||

Different FedEx driver showed up today to pick up the 4th package. I told him the driver yesterday picked it up with the other 3 packages. Shouldn't the computers show it was already picked up? Living the Dream | |||

I've had my recalled Kidde extinguisher boxed up and ready to go a week or so, just never got around to calling FedEx to come and get it. Today they delivered a bunch of primers from PVI, and the guy took the Kidde package with him, no questions asked. | |||
