Joseph asks…
What are the possible promotion options for a part-time FedEx Ground package handler?
My main concern is getting more tuition assistance. As of now, my hub only offers $1,500 towards tuition. I want to stay with FedEx but I know that UPS now offers $4,000 a year towards tuition. I know some places offer more assistance to those who are “package handling trainers” and/or supervisor’s, but do not know if FedEx Ground does this. Any help please?
Michelle answers:
Fedex express gives 3k a year. If ups offers that get ready to work your butt off they are bulk load!!! And I don’t think they are hiring right now.
Robert asks…
How much does it cost to ship a 4 oz gift to Ukraine by UPS or FedEx?
How much does it cost to ship a 4 oz gift to Ukraine by UPS or FedEx? The gift costs $11. It is going to Rivne,Ukraine. I heard it costs nearly $90 is this true? I don’t want to spend nearly that much to ship it. Why does USPS cost a lot less if paying $90 is the only option If I use FedEx or UPS? $90 is way to much!
Michelle answers:
You really need to ask this question to UPS or FedEx as they can only the real source of your info as they are the supplier of the service.
The one thing you do need to do is insure the package as it is common they go missing(stolen) when shipped to the Ukraine.
Another shipping option is DHL as they are the largest in Europe compared to the others.
Chris asks…
Can a fedex package be delivered to a ups store?
I ordered stuff online and didn’t realize that it shipped via FedEx. I have mailbox at a UPS store. Will FedEx deliver the package and will the UPS store receive the package?
Michelle answers:
Actually… No.
Fedex does not normally make deliveries to competitor locations (it also does not deliver to PO boxes.)
(UPS does not normally deliver to Fedex or USPS, either…)
USPS *does* deliver to Fedex and UPS – because USPS is a government entity – and the other two are private enterprises.
Fedex and UPS do have cross-agreements for those (usually rare) occasions when people drop their packages off in the wrong drop-boxes or at the wrong store for pickup. The ‘wrong-store’ will call the competitor to let them know there is a package for pickup. Do *not* expect these pick-up calls to happen the same day as you dropped off the package – or in the very best case – expect the pickup call to happen just after closing hours of the ‘right’ courier – – so pickup doesn’t happen till the next business day… Or later)
Contact your shipper – tell them what has happened – ask them to either (1) change the delivery address to another location (your mom’s house, your business, your landlord, etc) or (2) cancel the shipment and re-ship by UPS.
Helen asks…
Does Fedex tracking update online instantly when the package is scanned?
Mine hasn’t updated since July 2nd. Estimated delivery date is tomorrow but usually when I order something from Fedex it scans in Fayetteville, NC the day before it gets delivered here in Wilmington, NC.
Is it possible that it just hasn’t shown up on the online tracking yet?
Michelle answers:
Hello! I had to call FedEx today about a package that I’m expecting. I was told that the Ground packages are only scanned at arrival, and not at every stop the ‘package’ makes. Unless, however, it’s an Express package which most are not. She was able to give me the info she had which was more than I saw online. Call 1800gofedex, and they may be able to give you more info.
Good Luck
