UPS and FedEx both use USPS for last mile delivery in many situations.  Once they hand off to USPS they no longer have control over or information concerning the delivery, so they will give a message similar to what you received.  USPS uses a different number for their packages, so the FedEx or UPS numbers mean nothing in their tracking systems.

It didn't come Smart Post / Sure Post. Even if it did, the tracking information would show the hand off at Lake Havasu City, along with the U.S. Postal Service tracking number, to follow it the rest of the way.

Also, the Postal Service would have then shown it to be, "Delivered". Instead, Fed Ex is still showing it "Delayed".... After I've had the item for over 16 hours. And the Post Office never has, or had a tracking number for it.

And to frost the cake and light the candles, the envelope it came in has "First Class Priority Mail" all over it, along with the postage amount in the upper right hand corner. Fed Ex appears nowhere on the envelope.

Re: UPS vs. USPS DELIVERED? UNDELIVERABLE AGAIN
« Reply #151 on: December 02, 2021, 11:59:52 AM »
I have another undeliverable package because it was damaged.  This time UPS.  I haven't even seen it and they are issuing a refund.  Some reading glasses, several jars of pickles and 3 lbs of coffee.  Hey...I'm about out of coffee dagnabit they messed this order up.   Plus I was out of good pickles (Best Maid hamburger dills).  I can get by I don't need the reading glasses those were extra's to invest in before they inflate the price.

And...I showed delivered the day before yesterday some coax connectors and some toggle switches.  Nyet.  I never received them.  Now I see on Amazon that the coax connectors were delivered in the mailbox yesterday (nyet....we checked late, late yesterday) and the toggle switches are to be delivered today.

It's like 9mm vs 45, there actually is no debate.
No matter how messed up UPS, or Fed-Ex may be, they don't deliver bills and flyer's.
USPS loses by default.

I ordered a TSA double rifle case that was listed as delivered to a town 260 miles from me by UPS, I contacted the seller and told them I didn't get it and they got back to me the next day saying UPS damaged it during shipping. They refunded my money the next day and have a claim against UPS. How the hell do you damaged a TSA approved hard case that was made to protect long guns during shipping?

You can make things foolproof, but you can't make them damned foolproof. Some damned fool will always figure out a way to screw things up. They're the ones that could break an anvil with a feather.

The bottle of pills shipped by USPS from Mesa, AZ last month is still missing. Tomorrow will be 2 weeks since it showed up an hour away from here in Detroit.

My replacement bottle of pills was delivered by UPS today. They were shipped from Phoenix, AZ yesterday.

A lithium ATV battery that was picked up by FedEx in Twinsburg, OH yesterday made it to Saginaw, MI today and will be delivered in late afternoon.

Anyone else notice a pattern here? UPS -- next day delivery. FedEx -- next day delivery. USPS -- no delivery at all, but it's been less than 3 weeks. ::) Sometimes it takes 2-3 months for them to deliver a package, IF it gets here at all. I don't doubt those of you who say you have problems with UPS and FedEx, but in my experience the post office is immanently worse.
