English is my native tongue, so I don't think that FedEx is using some language with which I am unfamiliar, so can you help interpret that message for me??

IF IT WAS ON THE TRUCK READY FOR DELIVERY AT 9:31am, SHOULDN'T IT BE HERE BY NOW???? AAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whew...it's finally here. It took all day to travel 58 miles. Yikes!

I have the battery charging while I read the manual...and because it's so late, I have to wait until tomorrow to take pics of my new car. What a birthday weekend this has been! :)

HaHa! The way they do it is take a loop out to the FURTHEST place then work their way back towards home, so the closer you are the longer it takes to get your stuff... Though 50 miles ain't THAT close by any standards other than Texas, I think.

Happy Birthday!

Each FedEx station runs routes differently. Back in MS, delivering out in the boonies....the further you were, the later you got your package. You might only be 80 miles or so away, I would have been there around 4:00PM. Now, here in CO, they want the 'out of town' routes to go to the FURTHEST stops first and work their way back.
Glad you got your package......get some shots posted ASAP.

Dont feel bad I ordered 4 tires for my VW bus and fedex left 2 sitting on my front steps with no signature. So I had to call and as where were the rest...reply we delivered them to another address on mistake it will be a couble of days before we can deliver them too you. thanks Fedex Now you know why we quit using you!

PS Fexex is subcontracting your shippments out to anyone who can rent a Uhaul!
