AFAIK, FedEx super saver only delivers Monday-Friday... no Saturday delivery.

Is it express saver or ground?

If so, Fedex does not deliver them Saturday - Monday.

Because if you want it faster, they want you to PAY to get it faster.

End of story.

Nothing against you at all! I'm just pointing out that it's purely a monetary decision on their part. If (arbitrary example) three-day packages consistently showed up in two days, no one would pay the price premium for a two-day delivery. And that's bad for the bottom line. So they'd deliberately not deliver your package even if it arrived early.

(And yes, this is somewhat conjecture on my part, but captialism isn't too hard to reason through.)
