i ordered something being shipped fedex from ohio, it shipped this morning and should be here in chicago the 2nd
Fedex won't be making any progress with that package Saturday,Sunday, and Monday, so yeah, seeing how it got shipped before a weekend and during a holiday, it'll take a little extra time.

Was it shipped FedEx ground? That's what it sounds like. The product you choose has a big impact on when you get it.

I've never had a problem with either company. As far as sending stuff international, Customs (or the countries equivalent) can hold stuff as long as they want. My brother works for a wine importer, and they bring stuff in by the ship-container load.
He has told me its not uncommon for a shipment to get held by Customs for a month or more. Eventually they may open it up, look in the first couple of boxes to ensure its really wine (as declared), and then finally release it.

That and the fact that you can reserve your jumpseat and even a FedEx pilot can't bump you, unless it's a check airman that is required, of course. Fortunately, they normally put the check airman on well in advance, so that's not a factor.

Well, these days the hours are a bit cut due to the economy. Shared pain rather than put anyone on the street is the FedEx way, although some of the senior pilots a whining about it. Incidentally, your number is a little low.

Yes, I'm glad that is the way it is. FedEx guys can reserve it sooner, so if they wait then it's fair game.
Of course, you're not home until you get close enough that you would divert to the destination. I always looked at it as 80% there after the aircraft is configured and no problems, and 98% there after you've cleaned up after takeoff. After that, there are very few things that could happen that would prevent you reaching the destination.
Well, FedEx just delivered a letter to me from a certain JCer in AZ a day early today (thanks MikeD!) 
Estimated delivery was tomorrow, but a knock on the door and a whoosh of a white van this afternoon delivered the letter a day early!
So, yay FedEx IND!
(Now if we could just get the FedEx drivers in MSN to find the farm, we'd be stylin'!)
