Technically alexandria is still 10 miles south of me, but yes it still would have been: smarter & efficient, but how can we expect a company to operate like that...oh wait cause their stiffest competition is UPS and we all know what a joke UPS is.

Once UPS couldnt deliver to me, so I called and was going to pick it up at the wharehouse...when I got there, they forgot to pull the item from the truck and it was locked up and they didnt have it when i came. The next day instead of delivering it, they called and said you can pick up the package now.

Not that I'm defending FedEx. They screwed up by not sending your package to Alexandria in the first place but I'm sure they did not have a driver going from Winchester to Arlington. They had to send it back to Hagerstown to get it to Alexandria where there was a route to Arlington.
Here's the thing though....you're a shipping company, you've been in business for years, and you can't seem to ever get it right.

i use usps all the time now. even though the goverment is highly inefficient, they seem to do a bit better with packages than ups and fedex....which is the silliest thing you can possibly think of. provate companies sucking worse than the goverment... ha.
if DHL had more retial stores, they beat them all. They have the best rates. but then they do DHL "at home" where they will deliver the pacakge to your local USPS, and then USPS will finish the home delievery...takes an extra few days....which is pointless.
