Delivery exception

POMPANO BEACH, FL

No attempt made, delivery scheduled for next business day


HUH????? This is my supply order that was scheduled to arrive today...
 
The driver was probably out too late so he made a delivery exception and headed back to the local office.
 
Too late? I've had FedUp at my house at 10:00 PM.

It depends on the area and if they are usually FedEx drivers or hired when busy...around here they will do that quite often...

I've also seen some weather exception when there is no snow to be found...

Yeah, I'm beginning to think our FedEx drivers are often snowbirds that forgot to fly south that winter and are afraid to drive. :)

We had a 20 minute rainstorm today. Guess that was enough to scare off my driver.

Bahahahahhaa!!
And the worst part was...here I was delaying going out to dinner for fear that the FedEx guy would just leave the box (w/o ringing my bell) on the front porch IN THE RAIN. So I sat here and sat here checking the FedEx tracker - checking my front stoop...when the loser wasn't even coming at all!!!!
 
Isn't saying "afternoon rainstorm" and "Florida" redundant?
 
Fed-Up!!:mad: I had the shipment from my open house, my very first show, on the truck for 5 DAYS!!! The tracker said it was loaded on the truck, 15 miles from my house, one morning and I did not get it untill 5 DAYS later! I was livid with the driver! And even then, he forgot one of the boxes on the truck and it took him 2 more days to bring it back to me!!! :mad:
