When should I give up on a Fedex delivery for the day?

[Wcross]

When do they stop delivering? I need to lock my gate up at the road for the night but the web site said the package was on the truck this morning for delivery.

1. Wait - if it's on the truck it's coming your way...

...just might take a while. there's no punch out time.

[Richardo]

2. You might give them a call and get verification over the phone...

...that the guy (or gal) is still on his/her route and when the ETA might be.

6. I didn't know that. It must suck to be a fed-ex lady! n/t

[Richardo]

8. They get paid VERY well (at least their UPS counterparts do)

No joke. The top of the UPS pay scale is driver.

3. If you build it, he will come

4. Check the website again - you'll see if it went back to Base

or is still "out for delivery"

5. 7:00 pm but call them before you give up

7. Never!

Do what I do. Get a chair near the front window and look out at passerbys like Bo Ridley. Do that all day every day until your package arrives.

9. Boo Radley?

very funny, Badger... :D

13. I thought that sounded wrong...

I need to read that book again. Anyhoo, you know what I mean. Seriously, when I am expecting something from FedEx, I check the online tracking every five minutes or so. It's like an addiction.

12. I had the day off anyways.....

I just hate it that I didn't leave the compound all day. I did get a lot of work done though. It isn't that I am overly excited about the package (battery back-up system for pc) but the fact that I have to work for the next two days (14 hr days) and will miss them- then I have to go to the fed-ex office in town and deal with all the freakin people and traffic.

14. First rule of fedex.

If you take the day off, it will come tomorrow.

10. Ooh, I just started singin'.... "Oh the Wells Fargo wagon is a-comin'

down the street...."

Don't ya just love The Music Man?

(and my fed ex guy comes after dark all the time)

11. UPS stops at 5. as does the post office, not sure about fedex though

do you have kitten pics? :)

[Wcross]

16. No kitty pics yet, just got my new P.C. up pics to follow!

I thought of naming them Festus and Miss kitty before the vet told me they were both boys......
Now, I have decided on kitty and other kitty. They are twins and I really can't tell them apart anyways.

15. I've seen Fedex dudes deliver in the dark.

No flashlight or anything!

I think they keep going till they're done.

17. I've had them show up as late as 5pm... but never later than that.

18. If you live in a "safe" place

as in, "no one in their right mind would trek down your driveway to steal something off your porch," (as I do) you can leave a signature on file with FedEx and they will leave package without your signature. Computer companies don't like that and say they will ignore the sig on file, but if you know your UPS/FedEx person and develop a relationship, they will leave package anyway... if it is a safe area.

My driveway is so bad, I leave my truck at the end of it so delivery can be placed in back when Im expecting a package. Otherwise the delivery person has to lug the item down the drive by hand. They won't bring their trucks down my driveway. Don't blame them.

19. So - we're all on pins and needles - did you get the package last night?

If so, when did it arrive?
