- stuff falls off every day. He said to pack your stuff as if it were
going to be flung from a moving car - because it might.
...and don't confuse Fedex Ground (the green logo) with the express
service (blue logo). Fedex Ground is nothing more than RPS, and they're
no better at package handling or claims service than UPS.
I beg to differ. I use FedEx ground almost everyday and I've never seen
them pick up or deliver ANYTHING in a RPS truck. I also frequently drop
packages at the local FedEx office and there are always trucks there but
I've never seen a RPS truck there.
That's because they've re-painted all of the RPS trucks withthe fedex
paint-job...
We have one of their shipping distribution facilities in the area, in
Lewisberry, York County (PA).
