Never stops them from coming to my door, knocking, and leaving truck and all in the 6 seconds it takes for me to get from my dining room to the front door. :bawling:
They never leave packages, and sometimes I'll be sitting 12 feet from the front door in my living room, specifically waiting to hear the truck and/or knock on the door, and never hear a thing, but find a "sorry we missed you" tag 5 minutes later when I go take a look.
Nevertheless, congratulations on the future establishment of a new folding computer.
They did that to me once after I had filed a wavier.
They left the tag with another wavier, and I signed it and when I got my next delivery I gave it to the young man and said "I don't know why they left this. I already have a wavier on file. But I filled it out again".
I haven't had any problems with them leaving packages since then.
You may want to give the FedEx depot a call and don't complain, just explain that even though you have a wavier, they aren't leaving your packages. Is there something else you need to fill out?

sounds a bit like parcel force here,
i waited patiently for them to deliver my new dvd player, all day i waited looking out the window ocassionally to see the van pull up, nothing so ~ 6 o'clock i look out the door to check my house is still in this plane of existance and find my dvd player stuffed behind potted plants on the door step, no explaination note no "sorry we called but you weren't in" it was just there
I used to get complaints like that all the time when I worked in their support department. Wasn't my problem though, I just transfered them to customer service.
Today FedEx delivered a package worth thousands of dollars to the WRONG ADDRESS.. They delivered it to a flower shop down the street from me. The address was correct on the box, but they must not have read it.
LUCKILY the flower shop people are cool. I looked up the tracker on the web and saw that it had been delivered to a different address and then went down there and got it.
Prime: UPS delivered a package to us yesterday. Thing is, I'm in Houston and the package was for Garland. Garland is near Dallas, not Houston. Wrong part of the state. Dummies.
The Good:
While waiting for a delivery I had to take my mutts out for a quick whiz. I was home all day, except for a ten-minute stroll into the woods. Wouldn't you know it, but I come back to find the "Sorry We Missed You" tag on the door. I called to see if I could pick the package up at their storage facility. The guy had me wait on the phone a few minutes, then told me that he had gotten hold of the driver via the radio. He brought it back a few minutes later.
:thumbup
The Bad:
One of my IBM "Deathstar" RMA's coming back to me was returned to IBM "No Such Address". I live in an apartment complex where all of the units' front doors open to the street, hence we have no Apt# , just a street address. To facilitate things for delivery people they have numbered all of the buildings. (This saves folks from having to climb the stairs to the upper floors, only to find the address they are after is in the next building). My "No Such Address" was because FedEx read my address as:
Steve T.
Building 9
Charlottesville, VA
They totally ignored the line with the house # and street...
:thumbsdow
The Ugly:
Every Christmas my mom orders one of those fancy cheese assortments from a mail-order company. One year, Christmas came and went - no cheese. Towards the end of February I went out to rake some leaves and found the box stuffed under an azalea bush at the side of the house. I guess they were afraid if they left it on the front porch that someone would steal it. Had FedEx been around longer, Penicillin might have been discovered much sooner.
Well, evidently it takes a whole day for them to sort the packages and take them 10 miles to the depot for delivery.
It won't be here today, but will be tomorrow.
At least I got the hard drive situation taken care of and I'm ready for the other hardware.

Jerks.
They couldn't find my house (they just didn't go far enough south) and put "wrong address" on the log.
Pfftt.. the address was right. They just didn't look hard enough.
They did call me though, and I gave them directions, and they had no problems delivering after that. So over all, I'm happy with them.
Since I order 99% of my stuff from Newegg, I have to deal with FedEx.
