At FedEx, we promise you won’t get your package ahead of schedule!

This just seemed so odd, I had to share it. I ordered a bunch of computer parts from different online stores on Wednesday, as I’m building a new home PC. I usually choose the least expensive shipping option, and in one case that was “FedEx 3-day Express Saver”. For some reason, the package made it from California to my local FedEx office in only two days, which seemed great — everyone loves getting their new toys a day early! FedEx put the package on the truck for delivery, drove it around for a while, and then said to themselves: “Wait! This guy didn’t pay for 2-day delivery! There’s no way we’re gonna give him better service than he paid for!” and dutifully drove it back to the local office where it will sit until Monday. Tracking info from FedEx web site below:
