    Who regularly uses Fed Ex home pickup for their boxes? What's the approximate cost? Any issues you've encountered?

    I've used it for 99% of my boxes. $3/box. Schedule the pickup when creating the shipping label, then leave the box outside in the morning. Easy peasy. I have no convenient Fedex or UPS drop off point, so the $3 is well worth it.

    Only time I ever had an issue was more of a fluke and/or an idiot driver. I happened to have a box delivered that day, and instead of grabbing my box for pickup, they grabbed the box that was just delivered. (Different drivers do pickup) A simple scan and/or look at the shipping label should have made this clear, but it happened. Box was returned to me the next day and properly picked up, so no real harm.
