Federal Express FEDEX RIPS OFF THE CONSUMER Dallas, Texas

 family tree and IQ....and who's being childish?

"Thanks to "Ken of the USA" for his comment on the Fedex complaint.  It was, in fact, very childish and not helpful.  Unfortunately, stupidity must run deep within Ken's ancestry or he would have been able to offer a valid suggestion or comment pertaining to said situation."

"My point is...if you are unable to offer a valid response to a posed dilemma, then dont!"

My point was quite valid....why don't you use a different shipper?  How difficult can it be to answer?

If you are SO unhappy with FedEx, it beats all logic that you continue to ship with them.

Is it because, even though you don't like how they handle weights they're still lower in price than some others?  In that case, get over it.

Were it not for stuff like this,  where would I go for my daily humor???????

Dear Consumers:

Thanks to "Ken of the USA" for his comment on the Fedex complaint.  It was, in fact, very childish and not helpful.  Unfortunately, stupidity must run deep within Ken's ancestry or he would have been able to offer a valid suggestion or comment pertaining to said situation.

That being said, if you use Fedex, be aware that you are not getting what you are paying for.  Just because their service is exact, does not mean their weighing procedures are. 

My point is...if you are unable to offer a valid response to a posed dilemma, then dont!

This complaint would be comical, if it wasn't so dumb. With the exception of simple first class mail, all carriers round up to the next pound. USPS is no different than FedeEx or UPS. They have always rounded up to the next whole pound.

Why stop rounding at ounces for first class mail. Does this OP feel ripped off because his Christmas card was rounded up to the next ounce, rather than the proper gram it really weighs?

This OP incorrectly refers to international declaration forms (2976 and 2976-A) as "airbills". Those airbills have a section to enter both pounds as well as ounces. The purpose for this is to define what each item in the package weighs for customs commodity verification. The total weight of pounds and ounces is also used to determining whether the package was tampered with by adding or removing contents during transit. For the OP's information, if you enter anything in the ounce section other than "0", it will be rounded up the the next pound and postage must reflect that rate or the mailing will be cancelled.

ALL domestic carriers use the pound as the base increment for parcel shipments. Any package weighing more than .01 more than a whole pound number will be rounded up to the next pound. Again, USPS (the 'post office') is no exception.

Shall we expect this OP to be creating another complaint because his package dimension were rounded up to the next inch?

Stop using FedEx.
