FedEx in Germany is even worse than DPD and that’s hard. But I have the feeling they are more suited towards B2B here in Germany than all the other services as they don’t really have an infrastructure with pick up shops. I ended up mailing them that I pickup the package at their Hub here in the town I live. Luckily it’s only 10 minutes by car to their Hub. That was way easier than to coordinate a date as they basically only deliver when I am at work and don’t do weekend delivery. (I guess it’s extra and framework only offers weekday delivery via FedEx).
Fun thing is a return shipment you get a UPS Return label.
It comes via FedEx in Germany. And at your door they hand it to you and don’t need a signature. At least that what‘s was with my first package.
Had to get some replacement as my FW keyboards had a short. So the replacement was a bit more nerve wrecking. The driver came 3 times always when I am not at home. After 3 time FedEx contacted me via phone to schedule a new date for delivery. But I guess there was an overlap as the driver didn’t come. I already had requested to pick it up at their hub via e-mail so I guess the driver got cancelled after my mail was processed. And then I went to their hub when the notification mail came I can pick it up.
