I had some dramatic episodes. Surprisingly, FedEx is very bad in Germany too. Once I had to retrieve a laptop from a FedEx station to prevent it from going back to China. The trick is, it was addressed to a different name. The truck just went by the door for three days, "nobody home". That was a situation.

It's not FedEx, fluent usage of "c/o" when receiving post and packages in Germany is an absolute necessity. Once colleague from workplace ordered a modem from vodafone hoping he'll set up the internet by the end of the week, in the end the set up took over a month and almost led to his mental breakdown.
