George asks…
Are The Post Office and Fedex in the same industry sector?
We’ve got to compare two companies within an industry. I know Fedex is in the courier industry and the Post Office is in the postal industry, but aren’t these pretty much the same things, and would they be easy to compare?
Michelle answers:
No two companies in the same industry do everything they do exactly in the same way, nor do they all do the same exact things. This makes it difficult to do direct comparisons.
But yes, USPS and FedEx are in the same industry sector.

Robert asks…
What happens if you leave a fedex package at a usps store?
I printed a fedex shipping label for a package and forgot it was a fedex label so I dropped it off at a usps store. I didnt notice until at least 1 week and a half later! PLEASE TELL ME WHAT HAPPENS TO MY PACKAGE!! IM FREAKING OUTT IT WAS WORTH $271
Michelle answers:
Well a USPS store is a post office. They actually have Fedex boxes outside of many of them. Now you might be talking about a UPS store. I would give them a call.
Laura asks…
why is my package from fedex scheduled for delivery next tuesday when its in the same state?
Okay my package came from Kansas City and it arrived at Fedex in Dallas, Texas. It says it will arrive on August 24. I live in Houston, Texas and thats a 5 hour trip by car. Whats the deal? Oh and if it says it is in Houston, Is it possible for me to pick it up? If so what do i need?
Michelle answers:
At the Dallas terminal, the package will be sorted with the Houston packages and will be loaded onto a truck. From there, the driver will head toward Houston, may make stops at other FedEx terminals along the way, and deliver the load to the Houston Fedex terminal.
At Houston, they will sort the packages by address, and load the package onto a delivery truck. The delivery truck driver will deliver it to you when he gets to your part of his route.
The reason it says Tuesday is because FedEx doesn’t deliver on the weekend unless you pay extra for that service, and because along with your one package, there are hundreds of thousands of other packages to handle, too.
If you have the FedEx terminal stop the package and hold it so you can pick it up, it will take longer. They will have to stop the delivery, locate your package, bring it back to the terminal, set it up for pickup instead of delivery, etc. Be faster to let it just be delivered.
