Fed-Ex Ground has always welcomed packages from private individuals, while

the last year or two due to Ebay, but they've did too little too late.

I've used Fed-Ex Ground for at least 5 years since UPS started opening and
inspecting packages accepted via their counters. The UPS counter folks
around here are extremely rude... in fact one of them is so bad just
mentioning her name to about anyone across the region who has been to their
counter and they know who you're referring to. Go to a Fed-Ex counter and
you're greeted with a smile. Also love their Ship Manager web processing.
Even when there's a line of people at the Fed-Ex counter, just throw your
packages on the desk... say "they're done"... and walk out. UPS lost my
business long ago.

I would have to agree that my luck with UPS has been less than
satisfactory. but with fedex my stuff gets there a lot quicker and costs
less money.



so true. the people at the ups place here are also rude, uncaring, and
obnoxious. one time they lost a package and the woman at the counter
was told by a friend of hers, "that guy sounds mad", to which she
replied, "oh yeah, we get them all the time", then laughed. well, i
made a really big stink about this and she was fired on the spot. then
it was my turn to laugh. i'm too always greeted by a smiling individual
at fedex. and the ups place here is only open 2 hours a day to accept
packages, which really sucks if you want to do business with them.
