Default FedEx is slower than the Pony Express

So I'm waiting for a package from a merchant 500 miles away. The package started its journey 128 hours ago. I still have not received the package.

At little math reveals that the package is moving through the FedEx system at about 3.9 MPH.


Ironically, a bing search revealed that even the Pony Express averaged 10MPH...using horses.

And doesn't the "Ex" in FedEx stand for express?



Congratulations FedEx, you're now slower than the post office!




Seems to me that sometimes something gets balled up in the system. I
have had 2 day USPS package get hung up and taken almost a month go get
here. The package acording to the tracking almost made it , got with in
about 40 miles , then sent to another state, then back again, each time
taking about a week before moving on to the next distribution place. It
started out about 4 states away on the east coast.


USPS? That's just DeJoy streamlining the system.


Isn't he Biden's man now?


No, of course not. He was appointed during the Trump administration, but
Biden has nominated 3 people to the board that could one day remove DeJoy.
Hopefully, that happens sooner rather than later.
