FedEx messed up!

Clean_Baldy · Mar 24, 2004

I was anxiously awaiting my new motherboard today from newegg, as I saw through tracking this morning that it was on a truck for delivery! Someone was home, so I knew today was the day! Oh boy! Oh boy!

Well.....

I go online again, and check to see if it arrived, and I see THIS:

What the hell? How does it go from being on a truck for delivery in my town to getting to New Jersey?!?!

Let me make it more clear.

I live in Cheektowaga, in western new york.
Newark, NJ is 380 miles east, across the entire state.

How exactly does my package on the truck for delivery to my home end up across my entire state 380 miles away?

they seem to have been having some trouble lately.
i had a package that decided to warp cross country a couple times

but it did arrive on time.

Guess I'll have to wait and see. I've never had a problem with Fed-Ex, but you never know.

FedEx will probably fly it to your town in a Cessna Caravan--their "feeder" cargo airplane and then put it on a truck.

Don't sweat it. It'll get there. Remember: Their motto is "The World On Time"

Ever here about the founder of fedex?

He got a C on his graduate thesis: His profesor told him that he did an excellent job on the paper, but part of the project was to come up with an original, yet realistic business plan. His professor said "reliable overnight delivery, is not a realistic possibility."

I bet he and his professor both look back on that and have a good laugh about it now.

FedEx messed up!
