Realize at Christmas time, for both companies, it's "ALL HANDS ON DECK", everyone works wherever needed and all the routes are being run by different couriers depending on volume, not just the regular route knowledgable couriers. Know that those couriers are working long, hard hours, and MOST are doing their very best to be sure everyone gets their holiday packages. At least for Fedex, wherever I've been, this is our time to shine, and while we may falter a few steps, we are sincerely trying to do our best, spend many hours away from our families, and pretty much know, we get it done...period.end. So, thanks for giving us a hand...sorry you had to help, but we are grateful you did, and didn't just call to have us re-do it. Hopefully someday either company can return the favor to you. P.S. I DID hear it's pretty crazy down here too, so be forewarned

I just feel sorry for these guys trying to find addresses without GPS. Of course the one who just dumps all the neighbors packages on my deck cause he knows I will take them were they belong just makes me angry. But that is just one guy (who works for fedex by the way). But the others are just lost and as the driveways are steep going down to the waterfront it is rough on them.
