Nov. 20th, 2021 11:11 amOrdered a horse blanket for Archie on Monday. Vendor ships EVERYTHING by FedEx, which I dislike, but they pay the shipping for any order over a certain amount, which includes most stuff, and they have what I need in the sizes I need, at which local farm supply stores often fail.
So, order confirmed shipped as of Tuesday, expected three day arrival would be Thursday or Friday at the latest. However, tracking indicates that it has been sitting in the originating FedEx location in Ohio for two days before moving at all. Then by a circuitous route it ended up in Wisconsin and sat there. Delivery window missed, even though FedEx tracking kept promising delivery on Friday "by end of day." Only after 10 pm on Friday did they change that to "unknown."
Now they are promising Sunday delivery, but at the same time saying that the US Postal Service is handling the delivery. That seems unlikely, and I suspect that they might mean they will get it to the USPS on Sunday. If that means the distribution depot for 601xx zip codes, then no way is it being delivered on Sunday in any case. Monday would be the earliest, Tuesday more likely.
Unfortunately, this has become the rule for FedEx here. They always miss their delivery window, and one out of the last three deliveries was several days late and badly mangled when it arrived. Even under Trump's reprobate "Postmaster" De Joy, the USPS does much better than that. Unfortunately, De Joy wants to destroy the USPS and turn all shipping and postal delivery over to FedEx and UPS. (And he owns stock in both, speaking of conflicts of interest.)
