Jerome Fine replies:

While I agree that FedEx is far better than UPS, I
personally know of a big mess because the driver
stated that the receiver had signed a waiver allowing
the driver to leave the shipment without a signature.

When FedEx admitted that they did NOT have such a
waiver on file, the mess started to clear. However,
that should NOT have happened in the first place.
I suggest that with anything important or valuable,
be sure and insist that the driver obtain a valid
signature from the receiver and that the package
NOT be left without a signature from the specified
receiver.

Otherwise, FedEx is excellent from my experience.

FedEx also admit that when a shipment has a time
limit and the time limit is missed, then there
are no shipping charges.

Sincerely yours,

Jerome Fine
