hey fellow canucks, just stumbled onto a service that fed ex has (or maybe not a service but billing opition)
first to let you know about my shipping situation with Fed Ex.
it use to be that they would paste a shipping notice on my door (which btw is a _____ to get all the sticky sht off) letting me know a piece has arrived, but i have to leave a cheque for them and sign the notice saying that they could leave said item at my place without a signature. so not that big of deal other than the messy door and a day or two delay in receiving my item.
now they've gone to leaving messages on my phone telling me that there is charges that have to be paid for and to call them with a method of payment (CC) and by the time i get back to them which is another day or two plus the fact the item is still being held at customs it takes upwards of a week before i receive the piece again.
so the last time i called them i asked them if i could just leave my CC number on file so that they could just use it whenever it was necessary so as not to delay my shippments and it would be a bother to me having to call them all the time. well the rep suggested to me to set up a CC accoun with them which enables them to use my CC number each time while also saving me an additional $10.50 per shippment in charges
now for me the $$$ savings isn't that big of deal, but the addition of getting the item faster and not having to call them everytime i recieve something just makes it that much better. so three possible small advantages for some fellow canucks if you're interested
