i don't blame companies, but the people who actually work there.

just because some UPS guy in one city is a dick doesn't mean it's the same in the next city over...

and in my experience, it seems USPS priority mail is basically the same if not faster and cheaper.

I heard FedEx and UPS are merging together.


























They're gonna be called: FedUp.

I'm a FedEx man.
If for no other reason, because of UPS's terrible slogan:

'What Can Brown Do For You?'

I mean what the fuck were they thinking?!?! This wasn't a small decision to be taken lightly. This is the slogan for a company that makes billions of dollars. They were countless meetings about it. They probably ran through hundreds of possible slogans. They did test marketing. They brought in all sorts of advisors. And they came up with 'What Can Brown Do For You?' ???? Did they not realize that every person would immediate think of taking a shit when they heard it? Is that what they want their company equated with? I mean what the hell.

Here's how the meeting should have gone:

Jim: Hey Boss, I think I have a very catchy and appealing slogan for our massive company.
Boss: Well, what is it, Jim?
Jim: Are you ready? It's gonna blow you away.
Boss: Yes, let's have it.
Jim: Okay... 'What Can Brown Do For You?'
Boss: You're fired, you fucking dipshit.

yea, taking a shit is not the first thing you want people to think about unless your selling toilet paper or something...

I work for UPS, so I have something to add to this conversation, i think...

As far as package handling goes, at UPS it sucks, but I almost guarantee you FedEx is no better. I personally handle close to 8000 packages in a 7 hour shift. If you think I have time to gently place each one on the ground, your nuts. They get dropped, thrown, crushed, etc.

As far as employee relations, UPS blows FedEx out of the water. I make 13$ an hour, have full benefits that I dont have to pay for, Medical/Dental/Vision/Drug, 4 weeks of paid vacation every year, and days off any time I need them with no notice. Even when I work part time during the school year, I keep those bennies.

Fucking awesome company to work for, but I wouldnt ship my shit through there. Most expensive, as well.

The UPS guys are alright, the FedEx guy is always a little more friendly but I don't think I can rate a company based on the few encounters I've had with them. UPS seems more likely to work it's employees to death, maybe that's why they may seem less friendly :shrug:

FedEx is where it's at.
