(507 posts)Just because your shipment states FedEx, might mean FedEx Ground, over FedEx air. Most times you should be able to track where your package is. Might have been another FedEx driver, that could've been lost.
Good Luck

(38,568 posts)And although I live in MA, I'm not in an area where the FedEx truck would come by more than once a day.
Of course, there's always the scenario where everyone w/I 20 miles is expecting a delivery....
What sucks is that the order also said "weekday delivery" which means if they don't show up today, I'll have to wait until Monday....
THAT SUCKS!!!!!

(16,296 posts)When I was 13 or 14 , I was given the largesse from my parents to order a bow set from Gimbles (huge Wal-mart store - but, oh, so much better) in Pittsburgh. For days, and days I was looking out the window waiting and waiting for that magical truck to stop on my street, walk up the stairs to the house , and ring the doorbell. Finally, it arrived and I literally tore that package open. Of course it was the wrong type of bow with the wrong type of accessories. My Dad and Mother re-wrapped it and sent it back and once again I took my vigil at the window. Weeks later it finally arrived and all was good.
I guess it was my first - but not the last - lesson in anticipation.
