I bought two items online on Black Friday. Both are about the same size and weight and both shipped from the same place. The one that shipped via UPS is out for delivery. The package shipped via FedExGround has an earliest arrival date of 7 Dec. How does FedExGround manage to be so consistently awful and stay in business?
I dunno: lower prices than UPS? CxO-level corporate business arrangements? Or maybe… given that they’re moving at a snail’s pace… they somehow found and are using the arcane survival secrets of a different snail we’re familiar with….
