When "NEXT DAY" isn't next day

On December 17 I ordered something to be delivered "next day" via FedEx.

For those of your keeping track, it was the day of the big snowfall in Seattle. The next day, I really didn't expect to get the next day package I'd ordered - we were buried, after all.

But the day after that? Or the day after that? Or, after that?

Honestly, I'd expected it on Saturday sometime, when we were able to get out to get supplies and last minute shopping done.

Nope.

I had a UPS overnight package that was due on the 18th as well. It arrived on the 19th. I don't know how they got up the hill or down the street or through our driveway for that matter, but they did, and I had my package from UPS.

So far, as of the morning of the 23rd...no overnight package from FedEx.

There is a lot of talk lately (well, I hear it anyway, lol) about the subliminal symbolism in the FedEx logo. There's something hidden there, supposedly to symbolize “speed/precision” . Once you find it, you'll never forget it...and if you really can't find it, then say something in the comments and I'll point it out to you...

So...precision they have (they never deliver my stuff to the Sullivan's, for example, which is more than either UPS or USPS can say). I'd question the speed part this time tho...

As of 7am today, it's "out for delivery". We'll see...
