Puzzling Things
I’ve been expecting a package today. FedEx was supposed to deliver it. (I didn’t choose FedEx; the shipper chose them, and they are footing the shipping bill, so it’s not my place to be too picky). According to the website, the package has been on the truck for delivery since 05:31 this morning. It’s 9:03pm. I don’t think it’s being delivered today.
This is a new one in my saga of experiences with FedEx. Usually, they try to deliver while I’m at work and refuse to leave the package until someone comes out of the house and signs for it personally. I’m wondering if they were using MapQuest or something as a source to find my house (my street isn’t on the on-line mapping sites yet), but that doesn’t make sense, since I’ve seen their trucks in this neighborhood, and they must have been delivering something here from time to time over the last three years since this development was built. So I’m puzzled.
I’m curious to see how this particular event pans out.
My street isn’t on mapping sites yet either, and FedEX found me a day early with Vicky’s school books. I hope your package gets there soon.
Good luck! In this town, FedEx is absolutely the pits! It once took them 3 days (week days!) to deliver an overnight package to the place I used to work. Pissed customer, pissed boss, really, really pissed Carter. They can’t get it right to my house, either. I adamantly discourage anyone from shipping to me via FedEx.
I emailed them (no way to talk to a human–at least that I’ve found). I figure they want to make sure they deliver right at the peak of the hurricane instead of well before it arrives.
The hurricane should mostly miss us (we’re on the eastern edge of the current track).
