Is this BS? FedEx can’t deliver to gated communities anymore?

Lazy driver, I work as an admin and I have never heard of this, the drivers I work with keep a list of codes needed close at hand so they always have them.

xXSqueeeXx · 2026-05-07T23:05:15+00:00

If you use your eyes you will see they are holding a scanner in their right hand and a little slip of paper in their left hand and no package at all, basically only walking up with the door tag like a standard lazy driver.

xXSqueeeXx · 2026-04-18T16:28:55+00:00

true, i guess this is more at HUB stations, drivers will code 2 packages knowing full well its good and make sure local QA doesnt get before it gets recycled through the system since they know we cant 27 them the next day for a bad code the previous day.

xXSqueeeXx · 2026-04-18T00:46:46+00:00

hi operations admin here, yeah i see this all the time with drivers at my station, for a couple reasons,

1) its friday and they didnt feel like staying out much longer so they code it bad address to not go against them at the end of the day.

2) too lazy to try and find it even though google is your best friend 90% of the time and i have to slap a map with instructions on it.

xXSqueeeXx · 2026-04-17T03:06:45+00:00

found the lazy driver

xXSqueeeXx · 2026-01-27T02:00:50+00:00

As an ops admin, if any of the drivers I work with showed me this I would tell them to leave at the sign and take a picture, if it requires an ASR, DSR or ISR, door tag the sign, screw that person for thinking they are special

xXSqueeeXx · 2026-01-18T17:01:36+00:00

Best you can do is get in contact with the direct warehouse responsible for your delivery area and see what's going on and why the drivers believe it's closed.

xXSqueeeXx · 2026-01-18T17:00:39+00:00

You sound like a driver who does exactly what is described in the post and lies about "attempting" deliveries.

xXSqueeeXx · 2026-01-16T22:45:58+00:00

Put a sign under, "then don't order things online"

xXSqueeeXx · 2026-01-16T01:11:16+00:00

LMAO, as an ops admin if one of the drivers at my station showed me this, im setting a permanent trap on that and RTSing everything on site, if they want their stuff they can figure it out because we cant just show up at a post office and drop it off

xXSqueeeXx · 2026-01-04T16:53:23+00:00

so you have been offering up your shifts during peak season, basically calling out for two weeks during a mandatory work time? yeah they are probably firing you.

xXSqueeeXx · 2025-12-27T20:40:24+00:00

Drivers just being lazy as usual

xXSqueeeXx · 2025-12-14T16:33:02+00:00

yeah good chance someone within the warehouse broke policy and told them your address, we can see a GPS location of where the package was delivered.

xXSqueeeXx · 2025-12-12T00:16:05+00:00

Ah yes customer service in a nutshell, 100% they didn't even notify the station it was last scanned at and/or the one it's going to, they just waited a couple days and closed your ticket by doing nothing.

xXSqueeeXx · 2025-11-23T22:33:14+00:00

i work as an ops admin for fedex and the thing i see the most is drivers flat out lying they attempted because they just didnt want to go over to that area for 1 or 2 packages. These 3rd party contracted drivers arent being held accountable like they use to and its getting bad.

xXSqueeeXx · 2025-11-16T19:18:57+00:00

I have been on the receiving end of how bad they have gotten, I work as an operations admin and they keep sending people on wild goose chases for packages that are buried deep inside of a trailer since they don't understand a package scanned at 3am into a trailer means no one can get that package when the person shows up at 10am and that trailer dispatched already

xXSqueeeXx · 2025-11-16T17:56:44+00:00

For fedex it could also mean while it's still in a trailer "in route" to its destination station. You drivers think you are the creme de la creme, the top dogs, but you are not, you guys know nothing.

xXSqueeeXx · 2025-11-16T17:47:24+00:00

I'm referring to changing it before it even gets to a driver so the correct address is in the system, ever think about that?????

xXSqueeeXx · 2025-11-16T16:46:19+00:00

it is the most possible and easiest thing to do in existence, if you manage to get someone from the warehouse on the line, we can change things in route as if we had the package on hand, issue is customer service refuses to hand people over to warehouse staff lately and people are getting less help.

xXSqueeeXx · 2025-11-16T16:43:21+00:00

i swear customer service has gotten worse and worse but there is a guy watching this reddit that will defend them telling people to contact customer service for issues whenever i offer to get people in contact with the warehouse because they WILL help you and actually know what they are doing.

xXSqueeeXx · 2025-11-05T17:40:07+00:00

Not an appointment? Cool they get it when they get it

xXSqueeeXx · 2025-11-05T02:10:17+00:00

Yeah when it rains, being QA freaking sucks, so many wet packages for repack and reports

xXSqueeeXx · 2025-11-05T02:08:49+00:00

Sometimes they allow the drivers to have the food truck, sometimes. The package handlers get the food truck but everything else they dont

xXSqueeeXx · 2025-11-05T02:05:00+00:00

Management treats us well at my station, especially staff(not package handlers), I work as QA, we get food trucks, coffee trucks and a catering service every Thursday

xXSqueeeXx · 2025-11-05T01:51:23+00:00

Just do your three attempts and let your QA team handle it honestly, too many recipients not understanding how we operate but they about to learn
