" You are the guy who had a computer issue and refused to restart your computer because it wasn't scheduled."

And it turned out it wasn't related or a necessary step. Nor is it relevant to this thread.
Your constant paranoia about anything and everything is relevant in every thing you post here.

I'm to the point where I have to blacklist vendors for using fedex to ship. My landlord's father lives downstairs and refuses to put the building number on the building. I'm in one of two buildings on the corner and this place is very easy to find. I added directions in the delivery manager but the driver is clearly not reading my instructions. They have delivered 2 out of my last 3 packages to the wrong address and apparently that person is dishonest. And don't even get me started about their crappy tracking where you don't know the package is coming until a few hours beforehand.

When there is a misdelivery I call immediately to let Mr. I Could Care less in India to let them know what happened. Nothing is ever done to recover my package. There is zero effort. At least with UPS they have the local office contact me or I have their number and they take care of it that day.

Fedex really is still like two completely different companies..... real Fedex (ie: the "Golden Package" company lol) and Fedex Ground which sucks donkey balls.

I've had great luck with Fedex "Express" and "2-day" deliveries, in fact for "mission-critical" they're still to this day my go-to. (the exception would be items where USPS-exclusive "protections" apply)

I'd be more inclined to send a package regular/"slow-boat" parcel-post with the USPS then use Fedex ground for anything ever.

I do not want shippers to even be able to enter my address on a FedEx web form.
Your request is asking to limit the speech of others. In essence, you want to permanently ban a company from communicating your address. Since corporations have been ruled to have free speech rights, what you are asking for is unconstitutional.

What you can do, is just have your items delivered to a third party. Have your stuff delivered to Walgreens, Office Depot, Walmart, many larger grocery stores, or even a P.O. box. That way neither the online store nor the delivery system knows your address.

OP, write to the seller or Fedex each time?

I see no way a court is going to give you injunctive relief when no violation of law has occurred....although you can try and file a suicide suit.

Maybe Fedex is trying to serve the OP court papers with paternity test results for him being someone's baby daddy? Maybe there are several little Lost_in_the_HTTPs running around out there? :p

Should we tentatively call them HTTP_Error_Code: 403, HTTP_Error_Code: 404, HTTP_Error_Code: 405, and HTTP_Error_Code: 406?
[aka: Forbidden, Not Found, Method Not Allowed, and Not Acceptable]

Inquiring minds have to know!

Just goto the main terminal in your area and take a dump on the CS desk. Report back and film it if you can.

To be fair, if Fedex somehow gave him a really bad experience in the past, I can see why he doesn't want their services.

Capital One froze an account and made it difficult to unfreeze it even though the check was from my sister to my mother.

I've had really bad experiences with UPS, and tried to avoid using their services when I could, but never considered going to such ridiculous lengths as OP wants.

Yeah, my local USPS is horrible for delivering stuff to wrong addresses.

So when I shop online, I simply select UPS or Fedex and pay the difference. If the business doesn't give shipping options, I either order it and hope for the best if it happens to come via USPS or I buy the item from a retailer that offers the options. I'm not trying to reach the Postmaster General demanding they don't dare accept any packages that would be mailed to me. That's lunacy.

^^ I consider that post highly offensive and inappropriate and ask for it to be removed.

Anyways, as the OP is demanding my previous joke comment be removed, I had better butt out with any kind of dissenting opinion before they get any more traumatized by a joke. The internet is for serious stuff only!
