I was going to say the same thing, but you beat me to it!  Only one other possibility crossed my mind - that the 'last pick-up' meant for ground vs. express - something we always have to look out for - but Yoli covered that in her post. She did exactly the right thing and got confirmation from the FedEx staffer that the package would be delivered Monday am. I would have done the same.
I guess it just goes to show that there are no guarantees and mistakes can happen anywhere, but I do find this disappointing. I think I'd still rather have to count on FedEx than UPS, as a general rule. One other thing just occurred to me, though, as a downside to FedEx, especially in tornado season. Once in a while they have weather delays at their main hub in Memphis, which can put a kink in the works... |
