Yep know a guy at FedEx and they leave those notes when the package never made it to the truck but they have a contract to deliver in a certain time frame. So they put the blame on the customer as a strategy of cooking the metrics.

I had a FedEx driver the other day tell me that they separate packages into multiple deliveries sometimes even though they're all being dropped off all at once for the same reason. Cook the metrics so it looks like they're making more deliveries in a certain timeframe.

Uni Uni likes to use "act of God" as the reason for failed delivery LOL

That explains a lot actually.

USPS does that shit here, too. They mark stuff "Delivered"and only bring it 2-3 days later. Cooking the metrics, I assume.

That's really unusual for USPS. You didn't mean UPS?

Nope. All the downvotes wont make my mail carrier suck any less. USPS around here is terrible for packages. Mailbox stuff is fine.
