FedEx can be a disaster. Doc sent Tuesday AM with one day del is still not delivered.

Live on the Chatt which is the boundary between Ala and Ga. Had to send a doc 90 miles to an Ala town. FedEx took my $20.some cash and scheduled delivery before 8PM the next evening. Wed no del, Thursday no del so I called and gave them the tracking # and they said it's in the delivery van and on the way to the address and will be there before 8 PM Thurs nite. This was 5pm eastern yesterday. So the people called me this Am and cussed me out for lying. So I called FE again and they repeated the lie, it's in the del van and will be there shortly. Meantime the addressee calls and finds out the real truth. The idiots fly a parcel from Columbus, Ga routed to a city 90 miles south and west of here in Al all he way to Memphis Tn. About 300 miles. Then it flies to Tallahassee Fl. About 350 miles back and in the other direction. Then flown 150-200 miles to Montgomery or alternatively trucked in some cases to Andalusia Al and from there it goes into a van for delivery. About 900 miles to travel 85 or 90 as a crow flies. What could go wrong? No more of this rip off BS and going around Europe and Asia to get to south central Alabama. And they really can't say where it is at this point but likely between Tally and the addressee. I'm putting it in a plain brown wrapper with a .48cent (?) stamp and taking my chances on the US postal service from here on.
