> enabling merchants to give estimated delivery dates to customers during shopping and ordering

It’ll be a new era when FedEx can give accurate delivery estimates. Last time I recall paying for next day delivery and wondering how my package will traverse all of Canada in that time. I then watched the delivery estimate update to “tomorrow” every day for a week until it finally delivered.




"When it absolutely, positively has to be there overnight" - which night that is, is unspecified.


I love when my package decides to head back to Alberta.


Came here to report similarly. They cannot estimate package delivery times with any accuracy for my rural address. They virtually always gaslight us with false delivery dates. They are a running joke in our household.

For a company that should have all of the data necessary for training a system to do a better job, their systems are a farce. I would love to hear the FedEx engineers defend this status quo.
