FedEx ground is the worst. It might be their procedures, it might just be a 
moron driver. This doofus leaves packages in the middle of the driveway 
because "People want to find their stuff when they get home from work." 
Okay. However, since I work at home, my parcels are addressed to a business, 
there is a separate business door with a sign and a covered porch, how about 
leaving the boxes there? There's a sign on all four doors of my home 
indicating that packages should be left on the business door porch (first 
doorway you come to). No other carrier (including FedEx overnight) has any 
problem leaving packages on the porch, since it's the easiest, closest, and 
logical place. FedEx ground, however, persists in leaving stuff in the 
middle of the uncovered driveway. I just love finding a sopping wet package 
after 3-4 days. According to the local FedEx office, the driver isn't doing 
anything wrong. Apparently it's ok to just pull into my semi-circular 
driveway, slow down, toss out the package, and then continue on to the next 
delivery. I actually saw the guy do that once - he didn't even come close to 
a complete stop. Once, when the garage door was open (I was unloading 
groceries and the guy must have come while I was inside), a package was 
tossed underneath the car and I didn't find it until after I'd run it over 
the next time I went out. FedEx ground sucks.
