&*^% FedEx!!!

Indeed. I e-mailed them asking why. I can see if they held it in their distribution center until the scheduled delivery date but if they loaded it on their truck, why not deliver? To give them credit, they responded quickly and said:

Although freight does sometimes arrive before our committed delivery day, due to volume and operational requirements deliveries generally are not completed until the packages are due for delivery.

We hope this information is helpful. Again, thank you for contacting FedEx.


sigh.

I just moved back to Florida and shipped my bike UPS(and luckily I got it this time), but I had the same thing happen. I shipped it 3 day, and it went out monday, with wed being the 4th). So it was received here in south fl on tuesday, put on a truck, but not delivered until Thursday. Still one day before I was supposed to receive it, but it was placed on the truck, at 7:04 AM on Tuesday.

They love to make you wait, I find it stupid- wouldn't they be better off to move it off of their trucks so they can deliver more cargo, thereby increasing their load/profit?

Okay, so this is UPS, but check this out - package sent on 2-day air on July 2. Package gets "left" in a UPS facility - package not delivered until July 6 - SHEESH! Granted, there was a holiday thrown in there, but still . . . I paid for 2-day air, not 4-day air:

I have a similar story about Fedex from the last week of June. Package went out on Monday. On Thursday in the wee hours it was put on the truck for delivery. Not delivered. Friday, still on the truck, not delivered. I call, and they don't come to my town on Saturday. I finally get the package on Monday EVENING, and all this time it was on the TRUCK for delivery.

The sad part was, it was our wireless microphone for our ballpark, coming back from repair. I didn't have it for both post season tournaments, so none of the little kids got to hear their names being called over the PA system as they were coming up to bat. That's a privilege they are supposed to get at district and state tournaments. I thought that was the saddest part.

I got a package today that was 3 days early. I don't know what shipper was used but it was from REI (a roof rack for my Element). It wasn't supposed to come until Thursday. I am glad it's here early.
