Hmmm..ordered a package from Tyler, Texas that shipped Fed Ex on  May 29th. Fed Ex gave an expected delivery date of June 7th. Oh really?? 9 days to get a package to Illinois from Texas?

So I'm tracking the package and see it's in New Berlin, Wisconsin on the 1st of June. The package then leaves New Berlin on the 2nd. Ok, cool...coming to a town near me in Illinois. Keep in mind, New Berlin, Wi is 2.5 hours from me. I'm figuring now I'll have this package by the 4th..Monday.

Tonight I see the package arrived in Indianapolis, In....WTH?
I understand all about shipping hubs and such...but...geez. I'm beginning to think Fed Ex is playing ping pong just so they can hit the 9 day delivery estimate.

And I thought the Post Office was inefficient...

The worst part about it, RJ, is that we were up at our lake house on Beaver Dam Lake Saturday, but I didn't know the package was up there, or I'd only have been about 1-1.5 hours away. Btw, the package is for an outdoor antenna for the lake house. I'm gonna see what I can pull in without coughing up for cable.
