'S'plain something to me, please!
I am expecting a package. It is being shipped via FedEx Ground. I have been checking the tracking on it to see its progress.

It arrived in New Berlin Wisconsin just after midnight on 3 May. Okay, has not been delivered yet, but in their system it says it is due to be delivered on 9 May.

How in hell does it take 6 days (4 business days) to deliver something via ground shipping that only has to travel some 300 miles?

1. Maybe it's because of the (New) Berlin wall?

3. i think that's just an allowance of some kind, once you track it into...
your hub it should be there that day or next depending on when they scanned it into the terminal, loading, dock time, yada-yada

but i do hear you it's frustrating x(

8. It makes no sense to me
I notice something different with usps...I get online tracking, on most of the packages i send home to alaska, i spend an extra 50cents or so for it, and yet, it never tracks....

I check, it usually says one of two things.

1.Recieved on such and such date,

2. Or delivered!

There is no middle ground, and I check the online tracking about 5-7 times a day, when i do mail stuff back to alaska...to me, its more like, delivery confirmation....
