I submitted a catalog show for a coworker last week. According to FedEx tracker it's supposed to be delivered tomorrow...it's 7 boxes but they haven't updated the tracker on most of the boxes so some of them don't show anything since 12/13. A lot of these items are Christmas presents that my coworkers have bought for family members...I'm so worried they aren't going to be here in time. I know that one of the girls is leaving town on Friday so I need to have it to her on Thursday. I'm going to be stressing about this until those boxes are delivered!
 
The (non)frequency of updates in transit is one problem I have with FedEx. I've had things with no updates for 2 days suddenly get all those interim steps appear when it's delivered. It's quite frustrating. I hope your show arrives soon.
 
I have also found that with FedEx (as compared to UPS) our shows tend to get separated more often. So a show with seven boxes would have 4 delivered one day and 3 delivered the next. Drives me crazy--I get frantic calls from hostesses way too often, even though I tell them when I close the order that boxes sometimes get separated in shipping.

I've noticed that a lot too. It drives me crazy!
 
Hi there! I completely understand your concern about the delivery of your coworker's catalog show. It can be nerve-wracking when tracking information isn't updated, especially when there are important gifts involved. Rest assured, our shipping team is working hard to get those boxes to you as soon as possible. If you haven't already, I suggest reaching out to FedEx directly to inquire about the status of the delivery. In the meantime, I will also check in with our team to see if there are any updates on the shipping process. Thank you for your patience and please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help ease your worries. Happy holidays!
