So if you wanted to piss off a neighbor, you could literally park in their driveway and block them from getting out with literally zero repercussion?
If you block access to a driveway (park on the streets), that would be illegal regardless if it even is your own property, as you are blocking access to emergency services if necessary. You can literally get towed by your town/city.

if you are parked in someone elses driveway, without permission, the police can be called and you can be found via looking up the registration. You will be told by the officer to move the vehicle. The cops technically cannot make you do it, and they also cannot tow it. The property owner would have to tow it. However, generally tow services are free for the property owner; they just charge exorbitant amounts to the car owner.

In most US jurisdictions, if you have no signs or barriers up, anyone can go on your property. And if they get hurt or damage their own property because of your own negligence (say you had a pothole in your driveway and someone tripped or a car damaged their tires on it), they can sue you for it and you can be held liable.

If you had clear signs up or barriers (like a fence or a gate), then a person or property on your property will not be allowed and will be considered trespassing.

Not anywhere near the rate rent does. Also property tax is pretty nominal compared to rent. I pay like 600 a year in property taxes, one month of rent in a townhouse like mine would be atleast 1000 a month
I literally pay $12k in property taxes a year.

You have to pay property taxes, and have to keep up maintenance which could literally cost upwards of tens of thousands of dollars per issue.

In the end, its probably cheaper to just rent vs own plus maintenance and your time to do DIY maintenance.

I'm pretty sure FedEx and pretty much every other logistics company does a lot of transport overnight to get packages to where they need to be for delivery. It's entirely possible that they could deliver it today.

Oh snap. Since when did major couriers (UPS, FedEx, USPS) deliver on Sunday without some exorbitant special service fees? Thought only Amazon did that through their own delivery network or contracting USPS.

Bought it at Walmart.com on 11/4, Walmart says shipped on 11/6, but first activity shown on FedEx website is on afternoon 11/7 (2:14pm "Picked up"), at a town ~3 hours away.

This morning at 4:28am, it shows "At local FedEx facility" essentially in my town; at 6:56am "On FedEx vehicle for delivery".

I know you had a great experience but I had a pretty bad one once.

I had placed a couple screw fasteners from a pack of 8, and they weren't working properly. He wouldn't let me return them since one or two of them had already been fastened, he said since I'd already opened it and used one or two of them, I couldn't return it. I asked him how I would have known that they didn't work if I hadn't opened it and used one. He didn't have an answer but said I couldn't return it.

I asked for a manager, who let me return the package without any questions. The teen apologized and I said it's ok.
So why's that a bad experience if the manager let you return it without any questions and the teenager apologized? Seems like a neutral experience.

I bought a garden cart several months ago. It had missing parts, to the point I can't even use the damn thing (it was missing an axle and a handle!). The manual said "DO NOT RETURN TO STORE", but rather call them to get missing parts. Over the past several months, I got into contact with the VP of sales of that company, and they still did not ship me the damn parts.

I went to Home Depot, with a receipt that is 5 months old, no box, just a bunch of parts to make a cart, and they just took it back. No questions, no fuss... wow.

Every time FedEx comes, they drive up on my driveway. In my delivery notes on my UPS and FedEx account, it says steep driveway; do not drive up on driveway; truck may scrape. UPS follows this instruction; FedEx never does.

I have called the local FedEx office and filed a complaint. I put up signs at both entrances of my driveway with private driveway signs. I have literally talked to the driver if Im home and I see the fucker drive on my driveway.

But the drivers keep on fucking driving on my driveway.

My driveway has scrapes and cracks now on both ends. I took pictures of the damages, video recordings of FedEx trucks coming up and down my driveway, my written records complaining to FedEx via email, and my shipping notes in my FedEx account, and filed an arbitration against FedEx.

Someone came, took measurements, video recordings, and pictures of my driveway. He said he was from FedEx.

The arbiter ruled in FedEx favor, by saying the angle of the driveway would not make it possible for their truck to scrape. This is horseshit.

Should I start a small claims case?
