Update!
So.. I got to FedEx around 9 Saturday morning and they couldn't find the packages. I explained everything that had transpired and they said that it might be on the truck that broke down of Friday. They said they'd let me know in 15 minutes or so. So I took off and went to TRU/Walmart/Target and still had not heard anything. I went back to them and they said they still hadn't located it. I had to be somewhere at 1 and they opened back up Tuesday. I heading back to my GF place and hung out and then got a call that they found it. So on my way out to my 1pm shindig, I stopped by and picked it up... but it was JUST the throne.. not the Jabba. I said.. where's the other one? They didn't know.... It turns out there was a 2nd tracking number that SSC hadn't sent me (they had both under the same one) so it turns out Jabba was on the truck out for delivery. I asked that they hold it and I'll pick it up Tuesday. To make a long story short (TOO LATE!!!) I picked it up this morning!
The throne just BARELY fits into my glass display case (and I'm glad it's a heavy duty one from the old WOTC store and will bear the weight), but I guess Jabba will have to "face the front" while everyone else is off to the right of the Throne. I can't wait to add him and the rest to it!

Weeellll.....
out here in DC, we've gotten a little bit of snow/ice and my Jabba stuff should have been delivered on Wed. The tracker was blank by the time I left work so I went home and there was no notice. Thursday, the fed ex tracker shows "local weather delay, delivery attempted" for Wed. I call Fed Ex and they have no record of any attempt being made and cite local weather.
Fine. I go home and still no notice and no update on the site. I wait until 8:30 before heading out. I get in this morning (Friday) and still no update for Thursday. I wait a bit and around 11 an entry for Thursday pops up... It shows that it's on the truck as of 9:36 am. A "delivery exception" at 11 AM, then "No attempt made, delivery scheduled for next business day". Now I'm getting worried... cause I need to be there to sign for it. After lunch there's a new entry for Friday.... ANOTHER "delivery restriction".... it says "local delivery restriction, delivery not attempted."
I was like.. WFT? and called Fed Ex....
The rep looked into it and said "It says here that it wasn't delivered due to local holiday". My eyes LITERALLY popped out! "Um..." I said. "There's no holiday today" I said. "I know," she said. I mentioned that MONDAY was a holiday and that my company had a "Mardi Gras" themed lunch today. She giggled. She called the local delivery center and asked about it. "Oh ... that entry is a mistake" she was told. I asked her if the local place could just hold it for me so I could pick it up Saturday morning and she passed that along and I'll now be picking up the package (yes.. PACKAGE 9lbs) tomorrow morning.
So.. props to today's FedEx rep and slops to local delivery. I hope that BOTH parts of the shipment will be there tomorrow when I pick them up. SSC shows that both shipped under the same tracking number but I'm expecting the worse because the FedEx tracker lists "item 1: 9lbs"
Here begineth my 3 day weekend.....
