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!

That also depends on where the package is coming and going too. Winter
storms have created havoc with package delivery.

OTOH, I got one delivered Thursday overnight from 1400 miles away.

My ColoGuard sample made it to Wisconsin from Mississippi in about 11
hours. That's fast enough for me, and no horses were abused.

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.

Hope he can dump him but it is not easy. He may have a few good ideas
but eliminating first class mail
is not one of them.

I never heard him say he was eliminating 1st class mail but sizing the
infrastructure down to the demand isn't a bad idea.
1st class mail peaked in 2000 at 103,526M pieces.
Last year it was 52,624M and declining.

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.

I had one where the tracking said something like

Left Billings 09:37
Arrived Billings 09:51

I guess the bird didn't want to fly that day. They did manage to fix it
and I had my package by 19:00.

The Pony Express didn't deliver packages. Wells Fargo would be
a better comparison. Plus, we have that song from The Music Man.

Not necessarily. "FedEx" is more a company name, with 3 distinct
services: FedEx Express®, FedEx Ground®, FedEx Freight®
