FWIW I get shipments for my business every day, most comes FedEx express, some ground, some UPS, some DHL. They all handled my address change horribly, they all deliver laughably damaged things constantly, deliver half a shipment while the rest shows up two days later, and making a promise to a customer based on the date that a tracking number says it'll be here is a surefire way to make it not show up. The only saving grace is individual drivers that give a shit, and fortunately I have some that do, because the networks that support them are a chaotic mess.
I would love to see a shipping company come around based on not damaging things and doing just a little more to get packages to their proper destinations (such as picking up the phone instead of saying "business closed"). They could push a "green" message with electric trucks and by being just a little more gentle, reduce the need for so much Styrofoam and bubblewrap. Anyone got a billion dollars sitting around to help me get it started?
