Default Fed ex not great anymore

I can remember when if you wanted to send something really important you sent it Fed-ex. Not anymore. Recently anytime we have gotten packages delivered by Fed-ex they just dump them at the door.
We shipped two clubs Fed-ex from the villages. First they claimed that Sat they couldn't deliver as we were not home. We were home all day waiting for the package. Did they call the phone number on the label, No they didn't. I called and they said they would redeliver but couldn't do it till Tues because they don't deliver packages on Mondays only letters. Said maybe they had the wrong house as their trucks don't have GPS. A delivery company without GPS in the trucks, makes no sense. Sitting here waiting for the package and I hear a thud and a slam. The thud was the clubs hitting the deck the slam was the door of the van. Did they ring the bell, No, did they call our cell to say it was delivered -NO. The package was insured and they didn't have us sign just dumped it. The package I got Sunday was shipped by Amazon via the US post office delivered by them on a Sunday, they rang the bell and waited for me to answer, Boy have things turned around.

Long and short of it don't use Fed-ex UPs or even the post office is doing a better job.
