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.....
