My ATI HDTV wonder lwas last seen (Dec 22, 2004 7:50 pm Left FedEx Ramp COLUMBUS OH) it is a 2 day delivery that is supposed to be here today. The man has till 4:30 but I am not getting my hopes up. He already delivered a package today that was shipped the same day as the hdtv wonder via fedex express from CA.

I hear you, had a cpu shipped Fedex 2 day on Monday, still not here! No PC over the long weekend = :| .

It was stuck at a sort facility for 2 days... now just says Left Sort Facility. Does that mean it's on the truck for delivery?

This sucks since the sort facility is only 35 miles up the road.

MUAHAHAHA!!! I have it! Whew! It went from leaving the sort facility to the ramp, from the ramp to the truck, from the truck to my grubby little hands in like 7 minutes (according to the Fedex tracking site).

 
Ah, I called and they said it won't be delivered today, but that I could go pick it up. Thank goodness. Now I can leave and go home to see my folks!! YAY!!!!! 😀

I tried calling but when transferring to a cust serv rep it goes to a busy signal and hangs up. 🙁
 
Bah...I've got a monitor that's sitting at that Wilmington, OH hub right now. The delivery date is supposedly 12/27, I just hope that doesn't get pushed back...

nothing worse than paying for 2nd day shipping and getting it like Ground.

or not having your present for the holidays for some significant member of your family because it's in another state.
 
I should have been home but I am just waiting here for the damn DHL package which is supposed to be delivered today and god knows where it is now!
 
Picked up my camera and am now back home with the folks.

I guess DHL will attempt delivery on the two GPS's tomorrow, but no one is gonna be home. At least a signature is required so they won't leave them...will just have to get them on Monday when I get back

My company had some print materials for a presentation we were doing today that we shipped via FedEx assuming they would get here today. Turns out they're stuck in Memphis due to weather delays.

I've also got a personal package due from NewEgg that I was HOPING to get today since our office is closed tomorrow (I paid extra for rush handling and overnight delivery.) I was worried mine would get caught up in the FedEx snafu too, but I managed to dodge that bullet. Turns out NewEgg hasn't even boxed it and shipped it yet even though I ordered it early yesterday morning. :| I know they're probably busy with the last second holiday rush, but this is the 4th time now that NewEgg has been slow to process one of my orders. I'm definitely going to start shopping around more. They still do a better job than most companies, but they also seem to have grown complacent in the last year.

This is the last update on my Fedex package:

Dec 22, 2004 6:29 pm

Left FedEx Sort Facility

MEMPHIS TN

But nothing after that. Usually by now, it's already on the Fedex Vehicle for Delivery in Raleigh. 🙁

Be glad it left Memphis. We just got a couple of inches of ice and snow, and we aren't used to that here.
 
At least you don't have to live with this sh!t. I can't wait till it's 90 degrees outside. Fvck winter.
 
that sucks man, i work for FedEx Frieght(we wouldn;t be handling your package)
we work in the mornings today we didn't cuz of the snow, and i know we don't cancel work unless it is really really bad
