fedex ground is so slow

[RobCur]

from ca to ks, takes 6 days. i use to live in GA and often its 5 days not 6 days. should be 3-4 days right ?since ks is much closer to CA then GA was. this is so crazy!

Can't be any worse than UPS ground. That usually takes 8-10 to me.

Max of 5 days for me - UPS Ground or FedEx Express

Werd. UPS ground took 7 days to ship a package from MO to Oregon. That's fvcking pathetic. I can mail something to Florida, as far across the county as you can possibly get, and it'll get there in four days. Bastiges

ground shipping is like snail mail,6 days really sucks, even usps priority mail is much faster and not cost more on most things that are 2-3 lbs or even 4-5 lbs. 2 days from CA to GA and rarely 3 days!
it could be that in the middle of no where in the of USA that they need to take as easy, the road are so narrow and there are hardly any city around here.
im very disappointed to be living in KS. even fedex saver takes 4 days all the time not 2-3 day like I was in GA. folks around here are a bunch of lazy bum or just slow at everything

not always, i sent a package monday evening (after ground packages were supposed to wait until the next day to leave) from kansas city (last week) and it arrived in birmingham AL wednesday , it shouldn't have gotten there until thursday or friday, it was basically next day for the ground price

so i guess YMMV applies

fedex ground is the suxxor... trust me, i know... i work at a custom motorcycle shop and have to deal w/ usps, ups and fedex on a daily basis

heres the lowdown on fedex ground though. fedex bought another smaller company (forget the name) and turned their operation into "fedex ground" - if you look, the colors of fedex air and fedex ground are dfferant. for all intensive purposes, they are differant companies who happen to share the same name. anyway - the way fedex ground works is someone can "buy" a route... by this i mean they buy the rights to deliver on a given route, and buy their own trucks. now one person can buy 1 or 100 routes if they want, and they can in turn hire whomever they wish to work for them, on nearly any schedule that they want. what ends up happening is unqualified people end up as drivers and everything gets messed up. we had a package shipped to us from cali to pa, it made it from cali to pa in 4 business days, not bad. it took 11 days to make it from our local fedex branch (15 miles from us) to our shop because the driver didnt feel like swinging by our way and said the weather was bad for 3 days.

bottom line - fedex air rules. if you need ground, go usps or ups

so true! it shouldnt take more then 3 days from CA to KS or from KS to GA, just unbelievable that fedex ground is just as slow as from CA to GA!
