Cargo Bike Industry Pushes Back on NYC Rules

Cargo bike producers and delivery companies say the proposed 120-inch length limit and emphasis on four-wheeled bikes excludes many commonly used delivery bikes and favors one manufacturer.

@eniatitova i feel like at some point decided to concentrate on business delivery and more on home delivery but they can't completely ignore the other and your situation is a small enough inefficiency at their scale that they don't mind eating the cost ...particularly, since they practically operate in a ...like how smaller competitors exist in the tech space but or operate at such a scale, they literally lock out any competition in their niches ...to be optimistic, i'll be *very* surprised if there aren't several disruptive last-mile competitors that pop up in the near future that make home delivery their priority ...then it'll all be ....get ready for on vehicles chasing you down based on your phone's location to give you a box you can wear like a backpack

something that often gets missed in the conversation is how the quality of their service compares to which largely uses “contractor” labor for last mile delivery.

I just got a message from FedEx that they couldn’t deliver my package because no one was home.

spoiler alert: I was home. I even went downstairs to see if I could chase down the truck and there was no truck, no notice on the door that they came by.

and this *only* happens with FedEx. meanwhile I’ve had UPS guys go way above and beyond to get me my stuff. surprise surprise: when you pay people well, they do a good job.

but of course, retailers rarely take customer experience into consideration when picking shippers. because what they care about is getting my money for the product, not how much effort I have to put in to chase down my package.

somewhere down the line they might calculate the cost of customer service addressing missed packages but that takes years to show up in the financials.

Solidarity!

workers will go on !
No agreement was reached in the collective negotiation between the Nakliyat-İş union and FedEx . Union members announced their decision to go on strike in a demonstration in Beyazıt Square in İstanbul.

"Leaked online in November by Mississippi-based activist Marquell Bridges, the audio captures a private conversation that the chief had in the days after the shooting. It suggests that he knew the Cases had a history of gun violence—and that even so, the police held off arresting them until they eventually turned themselves in. Gibson said at the time that the delay could have allowed the pair to hide evidence like the gun, which was reportedly never recovered."

@JasonPerseus I feel your pain. FedEx determined on their own that a package my wife ordered of costumes for a play was fraudulent. Didn’t contact her or the shipper. Then canceled the # and shipped it from their facility with new #. Arrived after play had already started. Been trying for 6 weeks to find out what happened. I’m ready to just go down to the local office just so I can have the pleasure of berating a real person. (Their phone system does not recognize the word FUCK)

Here, @jonostrower alludes to the notion of the "near miss fallacy." We think these near misses are somehow proof that systems can prevent harm, but they are actually red flashing lights telling us the devil will try again. pilot saved a lot of lives. @gtconway3d 1/ twitter.com/jonostrower/status

Twice in the last year, has delivered my home medical supplies to the wrong house. Why do companies still contract through them? If my package doesn’t end up at the wrong house, it is yeeted on my porch from the sidewalk. Contacting them did no good. Not even a fake apology.

Express experienced substantial disruptions at our Memphis, Dallas/ Ft. Worth, and Indianapolis hubs last night due to severe winter weather. The weather has created potentially hazardous operating conditions, and the safety of our team members remains our number one priority.

Potential delays are possible for package deliveries across the U.S. with a delivery commitment of Tuesday, January 31, 2023. Contingency plans are in place, and we are prepared to provide the best possible service as conditions allow.

Is it just me, or has become completely useless. I've had three packages in the last two months that they have lost. For two of them they did an investigation and found absolutely nothing. They did finally find the third, but I needed to have them hold the package at their store so I could pick it up. What a mess. It just seems like their entire organization is full of incompetence.

Earlier today, I put on and fell asleep. Woke up to hearing knocking and someone yelling . I run downstairs. No one there. No trucks to be seen

... I realized then that it was the movie I'd heard 🤦‍♀️

has been delaying a package for me for the past three days so I decided to reach out to them to figure out what happened and they told me "we threw it away, you need to contact the shipper."

I'm sorry what?!?!?!?

I got an email with a security code. All the links were valid FedEx.com ones so I'm sure the email is legit. It suggested I change my password, which I did even though the old one was very secure. I also turned on 2-factor but FedEx's version is lame. They only offer email, SMS, or voice call. These are slooow options compared to an OTP that my password manager could supply instantly.
