How to get Fedex, UPS, and others to not just leave package at door?
Can you get Fedex, UPS and other delivery drivers not to just leave packages at the door? The kids on the block are teenagers now and turned into rotten punks. The parents are conviced that they are perfect angels, talking to the parents won’t help. I don’t think a note at the door will help because I’ve seen them toss a package halfway through the yard to the porch. Besides I don’t think they would that the time to read it.
Michelle answers:
When you buy something online and they give you a tracking number you go to ups.com and enter it in then you will see a section that says “notes” or something in that you can type instructions for the driver to read.
Or you could just do it the low tech way by leaving a note with big writing that says
UPS MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PLEASE LEAVE PACKAGE IN GARAGE
this also works for me.
UPDATE*
i forgot to tell you you can also do a delivery intercept if you live near a ups hub. You go to ups.com and enter your tracking number then choose delivery intercept and they will hold it for you at the nearest hub. That might be an option if you dont live to far away.
Or if you cant do that then i would say have it delivered to a friends house that you trust.

What will be the next stop for my fedex package?
Is there a tool/way to find out what will be the next stop for my fedex package? Package is coming from Chicago to San Antonio. It is a fedex Ground.
This remains unknown until the package arrives at some distribution center. However somewhere in their systems fedex knows this. Is that exposed?
Michelle answers:
No, unfortunately there is no way of knowing exactly where the packages in the trucks are until they have stopped at a station and been scanned, specially for fedex Ground.
Since its the cheapest service it is also not very easy to keep track of and the least reliable service timewise.
But you can try dialing 1800 go fedex and give them your tracking number, sometimes it shows what station is the package heading to.
Richard asks…
What is fedex smartpost and can my package come today?
I got a package shipped from amazon and at first it’s estimated delivery was 29-30. Now it is the 30th, and there is nothing in the mail. Yesterday it arrived only 40 miles away at 5pm, it says it is at “FedEx smartpost” even though it was shipped by usps. Does that mean fedex will be delivering the package and it still may come today, or do I have to wait and get it Monday? Thanks.
Michelle answers:
Looks like Monday. Fedex only delivers overnight pieces on Saturday.
Robert asks…
How do you have to pay to collect a fedex package under 100lbs?
So my mother in law is sending me a fedex package from OK and I’m in MD. It’s under 100lbs and I just wanna know how much do I have to pay to collect it (if I do). I’ve never gotten a fedex package before so I don’t know much about it and when I go on the website, all the charts and stuff seem so confusing 🙁 help?
Michelle answers:
The person sending the package is the one who pays the shipping cost. You won’t need to pay anything.
