Dear Fedex,

This is the best customer service I have ever received from your team.  Admittedly, I have had some favorite delivery people in the past, especially the afternoon Express guy that always used to pick up from my old office, but I have to say that your Upper East Side guy (or gal?) is without a doubt my new fave.  Personalized texts?  Yes, please.  I'm all about it.  

It's just my personal opinion that this guy, regardless of his grammatical and spelling skills, undoubtedly deserves a raise.  Or at least a corporate phone with an unlimited texting plan.


xoxo,
LGriff

Love it!! Imagine if he/she had actually come to your door? So funny!

Thanks so much for your sweet comment on my post the other day. To have a friendship sort of end is a horrible thing, but having your support makes it a lot easier!

that's too funny! I have never been texted by anyone delivering something... but it would be nice to get updates that way.

Did you order anything good?

Hahah - that's awesome. In London (where I am) its all abt the texting. You get texts from ur dr telling u abt an appt, ur airline abt ur flight, everything...he's the wave of the future.

Anyway, first time here - love it so far!
