It definitly is but she keeps seeing me in my work out cloths
 
If we still had UPSWell, they tried to delivery my changeover kit Saturday and it is delivered to my work address which of course we were closed. If we still had UPS I would have my change over kit b/c they delivery on MONDAY, but now I have to wait until tomorrow! :mad:
 
My incentives arrived on Friday and my changeover came Saturday morning. No problems! My driver rang the doorbell and left, when I got to the door I saw him leaving in a Budget rental truck. I assume the additional PC business is causing FE to have more drivers than they have trucks for, but UPS did the same over the holidays.
 
The FE guy who delivered my sell-a-thon products on Friday was, according to my DH, in a shiny white FedEx truck. The one who delivered my changeover kit on Saturday was in a Rider rental truck.
 
Mine came in a big green van. I heard the drivers were independent contractors but I do not know for sure.
 
I was wondering about this! My Fed Ex guy drives a pickup with a shell, and there is no way he is going to be able to deliver any other packages with my PC shows in there!
 
he came into my neighborhood headed down my street, stopped at a house 3doors away looped past my house and LEFT the neighborhood!!! WAAAAHH!!

I have noticed they are shipping orders to customers much slower too. I had an order leave Pampered Chef Thursday, and then went to the Fedx place in Ill.on Friday, and at this moment is still sitting at the same location it was 3 days ago. It is very frustrating to me. If that was UPS, the order would have arrived to the Host by today. I hope things iron out soon. One of the things I heard all the time in the past from the hosts, is how fast our shipments came, compared to all the other Direct Sales Company.
 
Teresa- I would check that house and get your stuff, LOL!! FedEx apparently has trouble bringing stuff to my address, but at least my neighbors know me and can't send them to the right house!
 
actually, really good friends of ours have the same address except they are west we are east
we get each others furniture deliveries, mail orders etc. One time we were having a swim party for our daughter's birthday and 3 moms just drove up to their hosue and dropped their girls off and left. The girls just walked in when Don went to the door (they are an older retired coupkle) & asked if they wanted to swim with Sassy & Molly (their dogs) or go to Ashley' s party down the street. he was real sweet and drove them down here. Today it was a different hosue though!!
 
Those are good neighbors to have. Did they drop off 3 year olds too? Were they older than 3?? YIKES!
 
no they were 10 . I tell people to turn left when they come in the entrance and they alway turn right!!
 
I just got my Trifle Bowl!

It is only 4pm, hooray!!

But........the stand was broken as many others have had as well. I guess HO and I have a phone date tomorrow...
