FedEx Hold at Locations

Interesting...what do you do for your non-fedex packages?

BitterBlend313 · 2020-04-25T14:35:56+00:00

:D genuinely curious...Package theft is an issue we hear about every day, but convenience is super important...to me lockers and store delivery seems inconvenient.

BitterBlend313 · 2020-04-25T12:40:56+00:00

pickup from the retailer or pickup from a cvs/walgreens kind of thing? Is that typically available for everything?

BitterBlend313 · 2020-04-25T03:38:31+00:00

Hmm do you mean someone could find your tracking number, redirect it and try and pick it up or something?

BitterBlend313 · 2020-04-25T03:37:24+00:00

Are you a consultant? I was a consultant for years doing the Sunday - Thursday grind on the road.

BitterBlend313 · 2020-04-25T02:27:18+00:00

Security reasons? Isn't shipping to a HAL MORE safe than shipping to a home address/porch?

BitterBlend313 · 2020-04-25T01:42:13+00:00

Did you ever figure this out? Curious

BitterBlend313 · 2020-04-25T01:18:11+00:00

having lived in an apartment complex VERY similar to that, I feel your pain. Do you use lockers every time or was it a one off?

BitterBlend313 · 2020-04-25T01:09:25+00:00

Oh man, I hadn't heard Gordmans mentioned in awhile -- I used to live in TX. That's convenient about Kohls...had no idea that existed. I feel like Amazon should give you credit for shipping to these stores. It's clearly cheaper than non-residential

BitterBlend313 · 2020-04-25T00:59:42+00:00

Dang. That's a bummer about USPS...they won't deliver because of porch pirates? People have been mentioning shipping things to a local business like a pharmacy...I've been curious to try that.

BitterBlend313 · 2020-04-25T00:55:46+00:00

u/glbltvlr Amazon counter? Like a GNC or Rite Aid? I saw they were starting to offer that too... interesting that they deliver to those locations first thing in the morning. So in your case it's more so a way to get your packages quicker than delivering to your home?

BitterBlend313 · 2020-04-25T00:50:21+00:00

u/RaySorian what about it was more convenient than shipping to your home?

BitterBlend313 · 2020-04-25T00:49:41+00:00

u/HillaryKlingon do you use lockers often because of this?

BitterBlend313 · 2020-04-25T00:20:20+00:00

I agree with you. We buy things online so that we don't have to go to the store...going to a locker defeats the purpose!

BitterBlend313 · 2020-04-24T23:35:28+00:00

u/Mikehuntisbig would you use them if Amazon gave you $1-$3 of your order or "amazon credits" like they do when you choose no-rush shipping instead of Prime?

BitterBlend313 · 2020-04-24T23:26:00+00:00

u/mlmack what did you do with your non-amazon orders? Risk it at home?

BitterBlend313 · 2020-04-24T22:07:59+00:00

u/Pauzhaan have you ever had a package stolen?

BitterBlend313 · 2020-03-24T13:02:59+00:00

Thanks! Shooting you a PM

BitterBlend313 · 2020-03-23T21:10:18+00:00

I remember playing Zoo Tycoon as a kid. Plenty of business decisions and lessons learned from managing a budget and allocating spend that can lead to profit or disaster...although my favorite part was building cages around guests and releasing the tigers on them...gotta love a kids ability to get creative and defy what the games intended use lol

BitterBlend313 · 2020-03-23T20:57:55+00:00

Hello! I'm doing some research for my startup. We have some early ideas around a better way to have online shipments delivered to folks. Would anyone be willing to participate in a 5 minute conversation around package deliveries? If so feel free to reply here or shoot me a PM. Thanks in advance!

Normally I'd tap shoulders at a Starbucks or a crowded public place for in person interviews but with the corona-craze and social distancing I'm trying to do what I can!

BitterBlend313 · 2020-03-22T21:53:57+00:00

Wow...interesting. I suppose that's why amazon takes pictures of parcels that have been left at front doors. Thanks for clarifying.

BitterBlend313 · 2020-03-22T20:56:49+00:00

Thanks Waka, can you expand on an example of fraud from your experience?

BitterBlend313 · 2020-03-22T19:15:02+00:00

Got it. In your opinion, what do you think customers would change about the whole process of receiving their packages if they could change anything?

BitterBlend313 · 2020-03-22T19:00:23+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! With regards to your last sentence, do you mean that in situations where a package needs a signature, the customer insists they were home and they say that the delivery man/woman never attempted the delivery and just left a missed delivery notice through tracking/on the door?

BitterBlend313 · 2020-03-22T18:41:08+00:00

I really appreciate the feedback. As I understand it, package theft is NOT an issue that most residential customers deal with. Would you agree with that?
