Does Fedex Ground deliver on Saturday?

[JzL]

I ordered my eMac on Monday, Apple sends me an email stating that it shipped. Estimated Delivery was 28th. I kept an eye on the tracking # and it didnt move... today I look and it finally left CA destined for AR with a new ETA of 5-29-04. That is Sat.. I know that FedEx Express dont deliver on Saturdays... Does Ground?


TIA

What Happen to Monday

I dont know why they call themselves FedEX when i want to ship something and they dont open there office sites until 11am.

FYI, there are like 5 branches of FedEx (formerly RPS). There's Custom Critical, Ground, Express, Freight, the big Corporation, and they picked up a few other things too...Kinkos was one of them. Which method of FedEx were they using to ship your laptop?

It is if it's an overnight package. If it's a FedEx ground/home delivery, there is no extra fee. Plus, the ground/home deliveries happen up until 8:00 P.M. at night.

Not entirely true. FedEx home has a weight limit of 70Lbs. If you have a bigger package going to a residence, it can be sent via their Ground shipping.

fedex ground and fedex home are not the same service, iirc

If you look at the heirarchy at the FedEx web site, the Home service is listed under the Ground service.

Since the tracking # states estimated delivery date of 5-29, which is a saturday. I bet it would be safe to say that Fedex ground will deliver Sat.

EDIT:

I stand corrected.. it is HOME, not ground

that's great, but ground only delivers mon-fri and home delivers tues-sat. again, they are not the same service.

Actually, this could have been happening around the Christmas season. They could have expanded their delivery schedule a bit. FedEx Home is a franchise. FedEx will assist you in getting set up by leasing a vehicle, etc. The estimated income from such an opportunity is approx. $55k.

So if it's not deliverable on Saturdays, can I go pick it up at the station?
