Honestly, forget FedEx.
CRITAWAKETS:
Funny thing is that im getting a new GPU but its not arriving even if they said it would arrive in 8 days tops. (Keep in mind i didnt pay for fast shipping.)
And FedEx are the ones shipping it. Although i can understand why they arent shipping it here since there is a blizzard like every 2 days.

I was finally able to draw a concept for a project of mine. Took an hour of mixing and matching ideas around, and I finally got it. I was about to color it in and then the card overheated. Lost an hour of work over a loving situation that shouldn't have existed to begin with.
Why FedEx is not out of business right now is beyond me. Every other shipper can get their loving dates right. Why not them?

I worked for UPS for awhile, many times we were out from 9am to past 10pm delivering. So yes it does take "nine loving hours" to delivery depending upon how busy it is. And I can tell you that November-January are the busiest months.

"planning routes is a complex business" is irrelevant, they shipped an item from a warehouse in the same state as the destination out to a different state. why did that truck pick it up at all?
If they were delayed by weather there is nothing they can do, which is pretty much exactly what it sounds like.
besides this, glass targets the op for complaining about what glass sees as a minor issue. this shows either A. personal, unwarranted enmity towards the op, or B. a complete lack of social awareness, as the large majority of the forum would see being forgeted out of $20 as worthy of a simple forum thread about it.
I'll 100% guarantee you they refund him that shipping charge as they were unable to delivery on that date.

Lol @ Glass. It's almost like he's never worked in shipping. As a matter of fact I wonder if Glass even has any responsibilities at all despite being a 20 year old man.
Entitled or not, if OP puts in a valid complaint about this, somebody will undoubtedly get chewed out or even fired. This stuff is hilariously unacceptable and most operations managers would cringe at the thought of being responsible for something like this.
